Extracorporeal shockwave therapy
Assay MethodThis Perspective synthesizes recent evidence (2020-2025) on three modalities that together form a regenerative triad: extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), high-intensity laser therapy (HILT), and ultrasound-guided mechanical needling with sterile water injection (SWI). ESWT promotes mechanotransduction, angiogenesis, and ECM remodeling.
