What is ESWT?
ESWT (Extra corporeal Shock Wave Therapy) is briefly shock wave therapy. It is a non-invasive method, based on the principle that strong sound waves created outside the body are focused on a desired area of the body through a steel cap applicator. Since it is applied in a short time, it offers treatment with high success in several sessions.
