What is shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy or extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is an innovative, cost-effective, evidence-based treatment for tendon pain (often known as tendinitis or tendinopathy) and other conditions throughout the body. Extracorporeal means outside of the body.
The main benefits of shockwave are pain relief and restoration of function. Shockwave therapy has been shown to be an effective treatment modality for a range of common tendon complaints including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy and tennis elbow.
Shockwave therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment with convincing evidence for its effectiveness from a large body of research and clinical trials. There are now multiple, randomised, double-blinded clinical trials that support the use of shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis, lateral epicondylitis, and calcific tendinitis of the shoulder.

How does shockwave therapy work?

Once the physiotherapist has determined where the complaint originates, and that shockwave therapy is the correct treatment method to be used, some gel is applied to the painful area. Then the Shockwave device is used. The handpiece contains a fast-moving projectile controlled by a compressor. This projectile transmits energy to the applicator to generate the radial shockwaves, which then spread through and are absorbed by the body. The frequency and pressure of the waves can be adjusted.

The shockwaves reduce pain partly through the creation of substance P and the hyperstimulation of pain sensors. The body itself regenerates the affected tissues, resulting in the following effects:

• Improved blood flow and neovascularisation
• Increased growth factors
• More mesenchymal stem cells
• Stimulation of the metabolism

Shockwave therapy can also reduce calcification and fibrosis. The technique used in shockwave therapy comes from kidney stone pulverisers. The treatment is short term, but patients may experience some sensitivity. The advantage is that treatment only lasts for around 8 to 10 minutes. Shockwave therapy is always combined with training, manual therapy or other physiotherapy techniques during treatment in the practice, and/or exercises that the patient is given to do at home.

Which complaints is shockwave therapy successfully applied for?

Shockwave therapy is a good technique for a range of complaints. We divide the complaints into five categories:

1. Tendons
   • The most common tendon complaints that can be treated are painful Achilles tendons, patellar tendons, supraspinatus and lateral (tennis) elbow.
2. Bones
   • The most common bone pathologies are medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints) and greater trochanteric pain syndrome.
3. Neurological disorders
   • It is generally accepted that radial shockwave therapy is successful for muscle treatment of spasticity, both in adults with hemiplegia and children with cerebral palsy.
4. Muscles
   • Treatment of trigger points, muscle pain and muscle hypertonia.
5. Connective tissue

   • Known applications for shockwave therapy are plantar fasciopathy, trigger finger and scar tissue.
