Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy

Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 2003
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is an emerging treatment modality for managing pain caused by various musculoskeletal disorders. According to recent systematic reviews by Crawford et al and Odgen et al, evidence is accumulating to support the use of ESWT as an effective treatment for heel pain. The US Food and Drug Administration has, in fact,

Principles of Shock Wave Therapy

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2001
A shock wave is a transient pressure disturbance that propagates rapidly in three-dimensional space. It is associated with a sudden rise from ambient pressure to its maximum pressure. A significant tissue effect is cavitation consequent to the negative phase of the wave propagation. The current authors summarize the basic physics of shock waves and the

Targeting Shock Waves in human tissue for Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy

The 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2005
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy is a relatively new alternative method to surgery for the treatment of many bone and muscle disorders. Currently, targeting of shock waves in the human body is done using either ultrasound or x-ray imaging. Many studies have shown controversial treatment results with conclusions that criticize ultrasound targeting ...
