Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive, modern solution for treating chronic pain in the musculoskeletal system. Shockwaves are acoustic waves with a very short rise time and high maximum pressure, generated extracorporeally and distributed within the tissue in the area affected by the pathological process.
Due to the deep penetration of these waves into the body, and with appropriately selected treatment parameters, this therapy is effective in treating pathological processes located in both superficial and deeper tissues.
The therapy provides analgesic, anti-inflammatory, regenerative, reparative, and immune-boosting effects, as well as relaxation due to reduced muscle tension.
Main Indications for Shockwave Therapy:
- Heel spur
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendon pain
- Patellar tendon pain (jumper's knee)
- Pain and inflammation in tendon insertions
- Shoulder joint pain with or without calcifications
- Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow)
Contraindications for Shockwave Therapy:
- Active cancer
- Pregnancy
- Pacemaker
- Myocardial infarction within the last 3 months
