Kalispell Shockwave Therapy

​

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is used in a variety of clinical applications including the management of musculoskeletal conditions. You may have heard of brand-names like StemWave, SoftWave, GainsWave, and others, but they all use the same mechanisms to deliver an acoustic wave of energy to the target tissue. No electrical current passes through the patient in this treatment. 

 

Initial use of ESWT in clinical practice was in urological application of lithotripsy in the early 1980s and subsequently expanded to musculoskeletal conditions. Physiologic effects of shockwaves have been widely investigated with observations that different energy forms can have effects on the musculoskeletal system, reducing pain and facilitating tissue healing. Beneficial effects have been shown in the management of musculoskeletal disorders including calcific tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, and lateral epicondylitis.
