Shockwave Therapy for Arthritis | ESWT & OSTEOARTHRITIS

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a promising modality in alleviating the symptoms of degenerative joint disease (DJD), commonly known as the wear and tear of joints or osteoarthritis. ESWT can reverse some of the degeneration in the joints by initiating a regenerative cascade that cranks back time on osteoarthritic joints. Low-energy focused shockwaves from the Piezowave trigger a cascade of biological responses that reduce pain and help with functional improvement in affected joints (Wang et al., 2019). A study by Wang et al., ESWT demonstrated efficacy in ameliorating knee OA symptoms, enhancing joint function, and diminishing pain, thus underscoring its therapeutic potential (Wang et al., 2019). Shockwave for arthritis is a win in study after study. The utilization of shockwave therapy goes beyond the confines of knee osteoarthritis. For instance, in hip osteoarthritis, ESWT has shown promise in mitigating pain and enhancing hip function, thereby offering a non-invasive adjunctive treatment option for individuals reluctant or ineligible for surgical intervention (Cacchio et al., 2016). With hand osteoarthritis, where conventional therapies may lack, ESWT emerges as a viable alternative, fostering improvements in grip strength, pain reduction, and overall hand function (Verstraelen et al., 2018). ESWT exhibits therapeutic efficacy in addressing osteoarthritis of the spine. Lumbar facet joint osteoarthritis, characterized by chronic low back pain, pain while standing and functional impairment. Nevertheless, studies have elucidated the beneficial effects of ESWT in ameliorating pain and enhancing lumbar spine function, offering a promising avenue for individuals grappling with this debilitating condition (Lee et al., 2014). Furthermore, cervical facet joint osteoarthritis, a prevalent source of neck pain and stiffness, has been targeted with ESWT interventions, yielding improvements in pain scores and cervical range of motion, thereby enhancing the quality of life for affected individuals (Chen et al., 2019). ESWT is an attractive therapeutic option for people suffering from osteoarthritis in peripheral joints, such as the ankle and shoulder. Ankle osteoarthritis, typified by pain, swelling, and impaired mobility, poses considerable challenges in management. However, studies have elucidated the efficacy of ESWT in assuaging pain, enhancing ankle function, and fostering improvements in quality of life for individuals grappling with this debilitating condition (Lee et al., 2016). Similarly, shoulder osteoarthritis, characterized by pain and restricted range of motion, represents a significant source of disability. Yet, ESWT interventions have demonstrated notable improvements in pain scores, shoulder function, and patient satisfaction, underscoring its utility in the multifaceted management of this condition (Wang et al., 2017). Call it ESWT, shockwave therapy or acoustic wave therapy, it is a versatile therapeutic modality for the management of osteoarthritis throughout the body. By harnessing the regenerative potential of shockwaves, ESWT can help bring new blood to the joint, decrease bone spurs and regenerate the collagen fibers. We have been practicing with it in our office since 2016 and the lives changed just keep stacking up.
