ESWT (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy) applies acoustic waves to tissue through a device. It is particularly favoured for long-standing tendon and tendon-insertion complaints. Fzt. Bilal Kara does not offer ESWT as a stand-alone solution; loading and strengthening exercises stay at the centre of the programme so the effect of the treatment lasts.
Fzt. Bilal Kara provides one-to-one care for eswt (shock wave) at the clinic in Bursa Nilüfer — in Fethiye Mahallesi, on Kelebek Sokak, at a central point of Nilüfer, opposite the Fethiye covered market.
It is a short trip by car or public transport from İhsaniye, Odunluk, Balat, Özlüce, Ataevler, 23 Nisan and the surrounding areas. Every session is one-to-one, assessment-based and tailored to you.
Achilles tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy and plantar heel pain can persist for months. In these conditions the tissue's capacity to carry load has dropped; rest doesn't restore that capacity — it often lowers it further.
Fzt. Bilal Kara uses ESWT alongside a graded loading programme, not in place of it. Shock-wave application reduces pain and makes exercise possible; what brings the lasting result is the tendon being reloaded in a controlled way. The number of sessions is determined by monitoring the response.

Fzt. Bilal Kara · Bursa Nilüfer. Share your complaint; we plan the process together after the assessment.
No; the graded loading programme brings the lasting result, and ESWT supports that process by reducing pain.
Load is increased gradually once tendon capacity reaches a measured threshold; the decision follows that criterion, not the calendar.
A mild discomfort may be felt during application; the intensity is adjusted to the person and the area.
For heel pain that bites on the first step of the morning: shockwave, load management and a graded strengthening programme.
For pain on the outer elbow that flares with gripping: a graded tendon-loading programme that rebuilds grip strength.
For inner elbow pain that flares with gripping and bending: a programme that raises tendon capacity step by step.

In athletes, ESWT isn't a standalone treatment — it's part of the training plan. Which day is it applied on, and how does it combine with strength work?

Chiropractic and manual therapy are often confused. Both are done with the hands, but their approaches and frameworks differ.

The sharp heel pain on the first step in the morning is often assumed to be a heel spur. But the real name for this condition is plantar fasciitis, and the two aren't the same thing.
