How Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is performed
After specialist evaluation, focused or radial shock wave is selected, coupling agent is applied to the treatment area, and localization is performed. A common practice is to gradually adjust the energy and number of pulses to apply shock stimulation to the lesion tendon attachment area to promote local blood supply and tissue repair. After treatment, observe skin irritation and soreness, and assess functional changes. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
