What Are the Benefits of ESWT Treatment?
There are many benefits of ESWT Treatment for pain. Because Shockwave Therapy is nonsurgical and noninvasive,
patients undergoing treatments do not have to suffer the groggy side effects of anesthesia or worry about infection
or scarring. The treatments are also cost effective because there’s no lengthy recovery time or hospital stays.
Depending on the treatable conditions, studies show that ESWT Shockwave treatments deliver a 91 percent
success rate, and more than 80 percent of patients report satisfaction with a faster and easier healing process.
