Shockwave therapy

What is shockwave therapy?

Shockwave therapy) is a non-invasive method of treating various musculoskeletal disorders using high-energy acoustic waves. The method is becoming increasingly popular in orthopaedics, physiotherapy and sports medicine.

How does shockwave therapy work?

The device generates high-frequency sound waves that are directed at the problem area (e.g. tendon, muscle, fascia or bone). Waves:

Improve blood circulation

Stimulate cell metabolism

Promote tissue regeneration

Break down calcifications and fibrous formations

Suppress pain by stimulating the nervous system

How does the procedure work?

Duration: 5 -10 minutes per zone

Usually 3-6 treatments are applied, once a week

Anesthesia is not used

The patient may feel brief, sharp pain that is tolerable and short lasting

Advantages

Without surgery and drugs

Fast recovery

Effectiveness in chronic pain when other therapies do not work

Suitable for active people and athletes

Indications for therapy

Heel spur (plantar fasciitis)

Epicondylitis (tennis elbow, golf elbow)

Calcifying tendinitis of the shoulder

Achilles tendonitis

Iliotibial band syndrome

Muscle trigger pain syndrome

Delayed fracture healing

Cellulite and localized fat deposits (in aesthetic medicine)

Contraindications

Pregnancy

Oncological diseases in the treatment area

Coagulopathies (bleeding disorders)

Active infections

Pacemaker (if the area is close to the device)

Who is Shockwave therapy suitable for?

Shockwave therapy is suitable for people who suffer from chronic or recurrent musculoskeletal pain and are looking for an effective, non-invasive method of recovery. It is particularly useful for sports injuries, degenerative changes and conditions that do not respond to other therapies. It is suitable for active sports people as well as for people who want fast and lasting relief without drugs and surgery

People with chronic or recurrent pain (back, joints, tendons)

Heel spur (plantar fasciitis)

In tennis elbow or golf elbow (epicondylitis)

In calcific tendinitis of the shoulder

Achilles tendonitis and tendon injuries

In painful muscle trigger syndrome

In delayed fracture healing

For active sports and people with high physical loads

Without surgery and drugs

Effectiveness in chronic pain when other therapies do not work
