ESWT should not be used if there is a circulation or nerve disorder, bone tumor, infection, metabolic bone condition, or bone tumor. ESWT should also not be used if there are any open wounds or tumors or if the patient is pregnant. Patients who are on blood-thinning medications or who have severe circulatory disorders may also not be eligible for treatment. Additionally, if your doctor does not believe you are a candidate for ESWT we would also decline treatment. These matters will be discussed with you during your consultation. After the ESWT treatment patients may experience temporary soreness, tenderness or swelling for a few days following the procedure. Upon completion of your treatment you can return to most regular activities almost immediately. Occasionally pain or discomfort may persist for a few days following treatment but no serious complications or side-effects have been reported.
