Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes high energy acoustic waves that interact with musculoskeletal tissue, promoting enhanced tissue repair and cell growth. It is used to treat subacute, sub chronic, and chronic pain conditions.
Common Pain Problems
heel spur and planter fasciitis
Achilles’ tendinitis and bursitis
Tibialis anterior syndrome
jumper’s knee
chronic tendinopathy
painful shoulder (calcification, tendonitis, impingement syndrome)
tennis/golfer’s elbow
exostoses of small hand joints in case of grade one arthrosis
Proximal iliotibial band friction syndrome

Medical Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

New blood vessel formation – nutrient blood flow necessary to maintain damaged tissue reparation
Reversal of chronic inflammation
Stimulation of collagen production – sufficient collagen necessary for repair processes of damaged myoskeletal structures and ligaments
Dissolution of calcified fibroblasts
Dispersion of pain mediator “substance p” – reduction in concentration of substance p reduces pain in affected area
Release of trigger points – trigger points are the principal cause of pain in the back, neck, shoulder, and limbs
Improved metabolism and microcirculation
Facet syndrome
Compression fractures
Joint pain
Discogenic
