Şok Dalga Tedavisi (ESWT)
What is Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT)?
Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is an advanced treatment method that uses high-energy shock waves to stimulate natural healing processes in the skin and subcutaneous tissues. This technology enhances blood circulation, activates damaged or underperforming cells, and helps them work more efficiently. It is widely used in both aesthetic and medical fields.
The shock waves penetrate deep into the tissues, creating micro-level vibrations. These vibrations increase cellular activity, stimulate DNA and RNA synthesis, and support collagen and elastin production. As a result, blood flow improves, more oxygen and nutrients are delivered to tissues, and the body's natural healing processes are activated.
Shock Wave Therapy in Medical Applications
In addition to its aesthetic benefits, shock wave therapy is also highly effective in treating various musculoskeletal disorders, including:
-
Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Spurs
-
Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow
-
Shoulder Tendon Issues
-
Spinal Pain
-
Knee and Ankle Joint and Ligament Problems
