Shockwave Therapy & ESWT in Orlando
Are you dealing with persistent muscle, tendon, or joint pain that has not fully improved with rest, stretching, medication, or traditional treatment?
Dr. Dei’s Physical Therapy provides Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy, also known as ESWT, for patients seeking a noninvasive option for persistent orthopedic pain and soft-tissue conditions.
Treatment is provided one-on-one at our MetroWest Orlando physical therapy clinic and is customized based on your symptoms, examination findings, and recovery goals.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy, also called Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy or ESWT, is a noninvasive treatment that uses targeted acoustic waves to stimulate healing in painful muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues. It is commonly used for persistent conditions that have not fully improved with rest, stretching, or traditional treatment.
Common Conditions Treated:
- Plantar fasciitis and persistent heel pain
- Achilles tendon pain
- Patellar tendon pain
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Rotator cuff and shoulder tendon pain
- Hip and gluteal tendon pain
- Persistent muscle and soft-tissue pain
- Certain chronic orthopedic and sports-related conditions
What to expect:
- The treatment area is evaluated first
- Gel is applied
- The applicator is placed over the target area
- Intensity is adjusted to tolerance
- The treatment portion is relatively brief
- Mild soreness may occur afterward
- Several sessions may be recommended depending on the condition
- Results will vary
During your visit, the treatment area is evaluated and the intensity is adjusted to your comfort level. ESWT does not involve injections or surgery and may be combined with therapeutic exercise, mobility work, and other rehabilitation techniques to support recovery and improve movement.
Potential Benefits of ESWT
Shockwave therapy may help reduce persistent pain, improve circulation to the treatment area, support the body’s natural healing response, and restore mobility in irritated muscles and tendons. Results vary depending on the condition, how long symptoms have been present, and each patient’s individual response to treatment.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of ESWT sessions recommended depends on your condition, symptom severity, and treatment goals. Many patients benefit from a series of treatments rather than a single visit. Dr. Dei will evaluate your symptoms, monitor your progress, and discuss a personalized treatment plan with you before care begins.
Is Shockwave Therapy Right for Me?
ESWT may be appropriate for adults with persistent muscle or tendon pain that has not fully improved with rest, activity modification, or other conservative treatments. A consultation and clinical screening are required to determine whether shockwave therapy is safe and appropriate for your condition and medical history.
