Understanding ESWT in the Indian Context
Chronic heel, shoulder, and elbow pain is common among Hyderabad's corporate professionals, runners, and household caretakers who rarely get extended rest. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) offers a non-surgical solution approved by Indian Association of Sports Medicine and widely used in European sports centres.
Ajuda Hospitals introduced ESWT to give patients an option before injections or surgery. Pulsed acoustic waves stimulate blood flow, break calcific deposits, and activate cellular repair. We integrate ESWT with load management, footwear assessment, and nutrition so Telangana patients recover without pausing careers or family responsibilities.
When to Consult Our ESWT Specialists
⚠️ Seek urgent medical care if you notice:
- ✓ Rapid swelling, redness, or fever suggesting infection
- ✓ Sudden inability to bear weight after injury
- ✓ Numbness or tingling spreading into limbs
Otherwise, book ESWT when conservative care has stalled, MRI shows degeneration, or pain limits running, badminton, or daily chores.
Our Diagnostic Approach
Condition Confirmation
Clinical tests (Cozen, squeeze, palpation) confirm the diagnosis and severity.
Imaging Correlation
We review ultrasound or X-ray to visualise calcification, tears, or degenerative zones.
Risk & Contraindication Check
Medical history ensures ESWT suits you; we avoid areas with implants, tumours, or pregnancy.
Protocol Customisation
We map pulse count, bar pressure, and frequency to deliver precise therapy with minimal discomfort.
Treatment Pathways
Your ESWT plan spans evaluation, three to five therapy sessions, and a supporting exercise plan. We pair shock waves with taping, orthotics, dry needling, or blood flow restriction to maintain load while healing progresses. Athletes receive GPS load tracking and tele coaching around tournaments.
What to Expect: Your Care Journey
Session one includes assessment and the first ESWT dose. You may feel mild soreness for 24 hours; we suggest relative rest and ice. Week three brings visible pain reduction; by week six, most patients resume full duties. We schedule booster visits if needed and share maintenance exercises via app reminders.
Technology & Innovation
Our Storz Medical platforms offer both radial and focused heads. Built-in analgesic vibration makes sessions tolerable, while treatment data sync with the EMR. Combined with diagnostic ultrasound we track calcific changes objectively.
Preventing Complications
Ignoring chronic tendinopathy can lead to tendon ruptures or surgery. ESWT interrupts the pain cycle, enabling safe strengthening and weight-bearing. Lifestyle counselling addresses obesity, vitamin D deficiency, and footwear issues common in Telangana.
