Product Introduction
This is like a deep tissue massage." "It feels like a little jackhammer." "It hurts so good!"
The list of ways patients describe extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is almost as long as the list of conditions this advanced treatment can help heal.
ESWT is an advanced treatment that uses acoustic shockwaves to break up soft tissue calcifications, enhance collagen synthesis, release growth factors, and stimulate your body's healing process to improve pain and help you stay active.
This therapy enhances blood circulation and accelerates the healing of stubborn musculoskeletal conditions in bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscle.
Depending on the injury, patients can avoid invasive treatments such as steroid injections or surgery. ESWT requires no incisions or downtime. Most patients see long-term results after only three treatments, which take about 15 minutes each.
Using ESWT, the sports medicine specialists on our physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) team at UT Southwestern Monty and Tex Moncrief Medical Center at Fort Worth can help heal injuries such as:
Along with restricting sports and work function, these injuries can limit daily activities such as doing housework, driving, climbing stairs, and even just sitting or standing.
ESWT has undergone extensive clinical studies and is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For most patients, it has virtually no side effects or risks. If traditional treatments haven't cured your injury, ESWT may be a nonsurgical option to get you back to the activities you love with essentially no downtime from work or sports.
How ESWT works
Initial clinical application of ESWT technology was lithotripsy, a procedure that has been used since the 1980s to break apart kidney stones. UT Southwestern also recently began offering patients intravascular lithotripsy to crack calcified plaque in heart arteries.
Research has also shown that pressure waves from ESWT can deliver a mechanical force to body tissues, promoting healing by stimulating blood flow and metabolism. Increased blood flow can be especially beneficial in tendons, which do not get much blood supply and heal slowly. Shockwaves can mimic the forces experienced during trauma and promote regrowth and healing of tissue and bone.
The portable ESWT machine includes a variety of interchangeable heads that direct stimulation over a wide or precise area when placed against your skin. Inside the machine is a projectile contained in a tube. The machine uses compressed air to accelerate the projectile up to 62 mph within the tube. When the projectile strikes the head of the applicator, it creates energy that is converted into acoustic pressure waves. Depending on which head we use on the handheld applicator, the pressure waves can penetrate tissue up to 6 cm, reaching deeper than massage or at-home percussive therapy devices.
Along with helping to avoid surgery and treating conditions surgery can't fix, ESWT also can help patients 18 and older avoid repeated steroid injections, which we can cause increased breakdown of the tissue long term.
In nonunion fractures, layers of damaged cells prevent the broken parts of the bone from reconnecting. Using shockwaves, we can apply targeted force inside the bone to create small cavities in which a hematoma – a pool of blood, similar to a bruise – can form. The hematoma clots as part of the body's natural healing method, helping to remove damaged bone cells and allowing healthy bone to grow and properly reconnect.
Imaging is not required to begin ESWT, though X-rays may be recommended if they're needed to reach a diagnosis. ESWT is not approved for patients who have a tumor, are pregnant, or whose tendon has ruptured.
