Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a treatment approach initially developed inspired by kidney stone lithotripsy methods. Today, this method is successfully used, especially in recent years, for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Furthermore, it is an effective option for treating urological conditions such as Peyronie's disease, characterized by penile pain and deformity, and chronic prostate infection.

In addition, ESWT is widely preferred for the treatment of chronic tendon strains such as heel spurs (plantar fasciitis), tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis), and calcific shoulder tendinitis, as well as painful trigger points in muscles.
