Shockwave Therapy, specifically focused Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a medical treatment that uses mechanical stressors to induce biochemical changes in living tissue. This process, known as mechanotransduction, can influence gene expression and produce specific tissue reactions. ESWT affects various cellular functions, including growth, differentiation, migration, protein synthesis, and apoptosis.
Scientific research confirms the efficacy of focused shockwaves in treating common musculoskeletal conditions and diagnosing and treating trigger points. ESWT is one of the few medical technologies capable of effectively addressing chronic pain syndromes by initiating self-healing processes.
