Extracorporeal Shockwave Thearpy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment used to manage tendon pathologies, such as tendinopathies (Achilles and patella tendons) and calcific tendinitis. It woeks by delivering high-energy acoustic waved to the affected tendon, stimulating biological responses that promote healing. The key mechanisms include increased blood flow, stimulation of collagen production, reduction of inflammation, and breakdown of calcifications.

ESWT also helps modulate pain by desensitising nerve endings and promoting tissue regeneration. Clinical studies show that it can be effective for chronic tendon conditions.
