Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment option used in the management of a variety of sports and musculoskeletal medicine presentations primarily to promote healing and improve pain, function and performance.

The modality uses high energy pulses of sound wave produced by any of the various methods, depending on the type of the machine, to trigger a cellular level biological response in the target tissue through a mechanism commonly known as mechanotransduction.
