Shockwave Therapy
High-energy sound waves for treating chronic pain. A modern, gentle alternative to surgical procedures – as extracorporeal or radial shockwave.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy – in both the focused (extracorporeal) and radial variants – is a modern, highly effective treatment method. High-energy sound waves are precisely directed at painful areas of the body.
The shockwaves stimulate the body's self-healing powers, leading to improved blood circulation, reduction of inflammation, and dissolution of calcium deposits.
The treatment is outpatient, takes only a few minutes, and requires no anesthesia. In most cases, 3-5 sessions at weekly intervals are sufficient.
How It Works
- Blood circulation: Improved metabolic activity in the tissue
- Pain reduction: Inhibition of pain receptors
- Calcium dissolution: Breaking up calcium deposits in tendons
- Regeneration: Activation of repair processes
- Muscle relaxation: Release of trigger points and tension
