COMMON QUESTIONS
Below are some of the most common questions about Response Guided Treatment (RGT) to provide some basic information. However, every person is different, every injury or issue is unique to you and everyone responds in a slightly different way to HST.
What is electrohydraulic extracorporeal shock wave therapy?
Electrohydraulic Low-intensity-ESWT therapy is a simple non-invasive specific energy therapy that modulates cellular signaling with the result of shutting down inflammation and increasing blood flow in short and long term, which in the vast majority of cases results in profound relief of physical discomfort and significantly accelerated healing.
What conditions or injuries respond the best to wave therapy?
Electrohydraulic Li-ESWT triggers the body’s fundamental healing response and acceleration of healing and relief of discomfort is typical for a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. Common conditions treated successfully with pulsed wave therapy are Plantar Fasciitis, Frozen Shoulder, Joint Pain, Tendinitis, back pain, neck pain, golfers/tennis elbow, knee pain and arthritis.

How many treatments are typically needed?
Most patients need just three treatments for a given anatomical treatment site, but this can vary depending on the type of injury or condition.
What are the side effects?
Electrohydraulic Li-ESWT is extraordinarily safe. Some patients may include intermittent mild soreness for a few days.
Does the therapy hurt?
Electrohydrauloc Li-ESWT elicits some pain during treatment, but this pain response is integral to the success of the treatment. Any pain experienced during the treatment is completely gone the instant the applicator is moved away from the treatment site.
Do you need recovery time after Electrohydraulic Li-ESWT?
It is recommended to not stress the treatment area through physical exertion for a period of 3 days, post treatment. Overworking the treatment site prematurely, may diminish the effect of the therapy.
