Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) has been proven effective in the disintegration of kidney stone since the early 1990s. Today, ESWT has been widely accepted for orthopaedic use. The Orbasone has been clinically proven to be safe and effective in treating heel pain (also known as plantar fasciitis).
No one really knows just how ESWT acts to relieve pain. There are several different theories which include: altering cell metabolism and generating mechanical stimuli that may result in neovasculation. If neovasculation does occur, the effect may be that the enhanced local circulation could promote the healing process.
