WHAT IS SHOCKWAVE THERAPY?
Shockwave therapy, also called extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive alternative treatment for active patients who are struggling with pain and not responding to conventional treatment after an injury. There is an immediate post-procedure reduction in pain and improved range of motion.
HOW DOES SHOCKWAVE THERAPY WORK?
Shockwave treatment uses powerful acoustic shockwaves transmitted into damaged regions of the body to promote natural healing. These shockwaves can be delivered to the affected region using an advanced device in a controlled manner. It enhances the blood circulation and promotes cell growth in the affected area. Shockwave therapy is very effective in treating ligament and tendon injuries, especially for patients in Sarasota, FL.

ESWT BENEFITS, PROCEDURE, AND TREATMENT
BENEFITS OF ESWT
Many patients experience pain relief and improved mobility after their first session. This non-invasive treatment requires no anesthesia, carries no infection risk, causes no scarring or downtime, delivers fast results, and supports natural healing for acute or chronic pain.
HOW IT'S PERFORMED
Coupling gel is applied to the specified treatment area to enhance effectiveness. After these preparations, ESWT pressure waves are released via the applicator, which is moved over the area in a circular motion.
DURATION AND # OF TREATMENTS
Treatment sessions take approximately 10-15 minutes, depending on the disorder to be treated. Generally, 4-5 treatment sessions are necessary at weekly intervals.

FAQs
Is Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) painful?
When it comes to shockwave therapy (ESWT), most patients report a deep “pulsation” with very little discomfort. Because shockwave therapy at our Sarasota facility is noninvasive, we can adjust the intensity to ensure your comfort during your 10-15-minute session.
How many sessions will I need to see results?
Although many patients see almost instant results after their initial session at The Miley Clinic, it is recommended that patients have 3–5 total sessions, typically spaced weekly, to allow the regenerative process to complete.
Are there any side effects to Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy?
ESWT is extremely safe; however, some patients may experience mild redness or swelling in the treated area for 24-48 hours after treatment, as the body’s normal healing process is stimulated.
Can ESWT help with my Long-term Plantar Fasciitis?
Yes. Many people come to us for plantar fasciitis treatment in Sarasota, and shockwave therapy is highly effective at breaking down scar tissue and improving blood circulation in the heel and foot.
How much downtime will be required after the treatment?
With non-invasive pain relief, there is almost no downtime. There will be no need to take a break from your normal activities, but we suggest refraining from high-impact activities for at least 48 hours after the treatment.
