Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), otherwise known as shockwave therapy, is yet another treatment giving only temporary relief. There is no strong evidence supporting it as a cure for pain.
In this approach, a machine delivers low-energy, audible sound in waves known as shockwaves to the affected area. These waves are not electric waves.
Some experts use it when other approaches do not work. Here at N3 Physiotherapy, we do not use ESWT.
