Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy ( ESWT ) - Podiatrist Georgina Tay, East Coast Podiatry
Показать описание
Shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a podiatric technique used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal problems. Originally designed to break down kidney stones, the machine was redesigned for use in other aspects of the body.
There are three different shockwave machines available at East Coast Podiatry Centre: radial shockwave, focal shockwave, and diabetic specific.
The wavelength of each machine is specific to the need of the patient and specific to the condition at hand. ESWT is especially successful at managing tendinopathies, arthritic, and chronic pains.
The mechanism of action is to microscopically cause interstitial and extracellular biological responses, tissue regeneration, neovascularisation, and hyper-stimulation analgesia for pain relief. The mechanism of how Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy works is more complex than the generally assumed mechanical and disintegrative effect.
Shockwave therapy is a valuable healing tool that is non-invasive, can give immediate pain relief or reduction, is fast with little to no downtime, and most side effects of the treatment are temporary and resolved with rest. A typical session of shockwave may last 10-30 minutes depending on the severity of the condition and the pain moderation during treatment.
To understand more about how shockwave therapy may help your condition, please speak to your family physician or your podiatrist.
