Shock Wave Therapy in Wound Healing

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2011
Recently, shock wave therapy has been investigated as an adjuvant therapy in the treatment of acute and chronic wounds. There are several devices with focused and unfocused shock waves that have been administered to a heterogenous group of wounds. Encouraging preclinical and clinical studies suggest that shock wave therapy may promote wound healing ...

Shock wave therapy of fracture nonunion

Injury, 2015
We have used the principles of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in the treatment of nonunion of fractures in 44 patients (49 bones).There were 35 males and 9 females with a mean age of 34 years(range14-70). Clinical and radiological assessment was performed at regular time intervals with a minimum follow up of 18 months.

Physical Therapies and Shock Waves

2017
In recent years, “physical therapies” gained increasing interest and scientific dignity, unlike in the past, based on a better knowledge of their “biophysical” effects, which are the result of a cascade of biological reactions, induced by the physical stimulus and aimed to the treatment of some musculoskeletal diseases.

Development of shock wave assisted therapeutic devices and establishment of shock wave therapy

Minimally Invasive Therapy & Allied Technologies, 2006
In order to exploit systems for shock wave therapy, we are working for the development of clinical devices that are based on the concept of shock waves or related phenomena. The paper describes these new therapeutic devices designed for the minimally invasive approach to vascular thromboloysis, selective dissection of tissues, and drug or DNA delivery.

The dose–effect relationship in extracorporeal shock wave therapy: the optimal parameter for extracorporeal shock wave therapy

Journal of Surgical Research, 2014
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has been demonstrated to have the angiogenic effect on ischemic tissue. We hypothesize that ESWT exerts the proangiogenesis effect with an energy density-dependent mode on the target cells.Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) of rats were obtained by cultivation of bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells. EPCs were

Shock Wave Therapy for Tendinopathies

2017
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), originally introduced in medicine as urological lithotripsy, in the 1980s, has expanded its scope of application into the field of musculoskeletal medicine, mainly for the treatment of tendon and bone pathologies, not as a destructive force to disintegrate calcific deposits, but conversely to induce tissue ...

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy for plantar fasciitis

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 2003
Shock wave therapy is quickly becoming a mainstay treatment for chronic recalcitrant plantar fasciitis, and many more applications for this therapy may exist. Many advances have been made in regard to this modality of treatment in just a few decades since it was first investigated in the 1950s.

Shock Wave Therapy (Orthotripsy??) in Musculoskeletal Disorders

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2001
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy, which now is used routinely for urolithiasis, has gained increasing acceptance in Europe for some musculoskeletal problems and has led to the inception of clinical studies in the United States. The authors have reviewed the available literature to assess the biologic effects of shock waves on human musculoskeletal ...

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy

2019
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) provides a non-invasive option to treat chronic soft-tissue conditions that have notoriously been difficult to treat. This chapter focuses on providing information regarding the use of extracorporeal shock wave therapy and its efficacy for key musculoskeletal areas. ESWT is a non-invasive procedure whereby shock

Effects of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy on Bone

Veterinary Surgery, 2003
Extracorporeal shock waves have been used for 30 years to fragment uroliths for nonsurgical treatment for urolithiasis in humans. Applied to bone, shock waves delivered at the appropriate energy and pulse number, can stimulate osteogenesis. In Europe, shock waves are routinely used to treat nonunions in humans despite poor understanding of the ...
