is a modern and highly effective treatment method: high-energy sound waves are introduced into the painful areas of the body. With this innovative therapy approach, pathological alterations of tendons, ligaments, capsules, muscles and bones can be eliminated systematically.
In the treatment session, shock waves are directed at the area of pain, where they cause a controlled mechanical stimulus. Healing processes are caused in deeper tissue areas, just as after external injuries. This results in increased blood circulation and the formation of blood vessels, so that new connective tissue is generated. Degenerated tendon tissue is regenerated and tightened. The intense nature of the stimulation also creates powerful pain inhibition, commonly resulting in immediate reduction of pain.
The beneficial effects of shock wave therapy are often experienced after only 1 or 2 treatments. The therapy eliminates pain and restores full mobility, thus improving your quality of life.
Use shockwave therapy to treat chronic painful tendon conditions such as: Achilles tendonopathy, patellar tendonopathy, plantar fasciitis, gluteal tendonopathy (hip bursitis), rotator cuff pain, tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow.
How Exactly Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
Shockwave therapy sends high-energy radial pressure waves to the site of chronic pain. These acoustic waves increase blood flow, stimulate muscle repair and regeneration, and increase metabolization at the cellular level.
Shockwave therapy is a safe, effective, treatment recommended for people suffering chronic pain – even at the highest level of sport.
