ESWT (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy) is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment that uses shock waves generated and applied outside the body. Shock waves are high-intensity sound waves used to support the healing process and reduce pain in various musculoskeletal conditions.

ESWT is commonly used for heel pain, heel spurs, and tennis elbow. It is applied externally without the administration of cortisone or other medication. The treatment typically takes 3–5 minutes, and a course of 3–5 sessions is generally recommended, depending on the condition and the patient.

ESWT can be effective in a variety of musculoskeletal disorders, with heel spurs and tennis elbow being among its most common applications.
