What is ORTHOWave?

ORTHOWave is a type of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) that uses focused, pulsatile waves to stimulate blood flow to the injured/applied area. ESWT is a safe and non-invasive procedure that has been used successfully for a variety of Orthopedic health conditions.

How does it work?

ESWT promotes tissue regeneration in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and where possible can progressively repair osteoarthritic damage and can significantly lower, or eliminate the pain associated with such injuries.

What are the benefits of ESWT?

When applied to an area, ESWT decreases pain sensitivity and increases blood flow by stimulating new growth of new blood vessels (neovascularization) and growth factors thus enhancing tissue growth and repair. ESWT helps reduce pain (an analgesic effect) in a different way resulting in its success. ESWT is effective in improving joint range of motion and has been proven to be successful in reducing calcific tendonitis. Benefits of this incredible non-invasive treatment include:

• Over 90% effective for Shoulder Tendinitis
