The EcSWT is the newest and one of the most effective therapy in patients with:

• Planter fasciitis
• Tendo-achillitis
• Tennis elbow
• Shoulder Tendonitis

This non invasive breakthrough solution is available at select physiotherapy centers because of the high cost. Arthrocenter is proud to present the modality by early 2019. The modality makes use of shock waves generated outside the body to reduce inflammation and pain. The effects of ESWT are best documented in areas of changes in tissue density, such as those where a tendon attaches to a bone (enthesiopathies) and where a bone attaches to a ligament (desmopathies). It microscopically causes interstitial and extracellular responses leading to tissue regeneration and enhance neovascularization with formation of new capillary and muscularized vessels at the tendon-bone junction. Shockwave therapy releases angiogenetic growth and proliferating factors which lead to growth of new tissues. It treats the overuse tendinopathy by replacing the scarred tissue by normal tissue.
