How Does It Work?
Shock waves are audible high-energy sound waves. In the medical world, shock waves have been used since 1980 to disintegrate kidney stones, for instance. In modern pain therapy, low-energy shock waves are applied to the painful body regions where they can exert their curative action. Shock waves can accelerate
The healing process in the body, they stimulate metabolism and improve blood circulation; damaged tissue can regenerate and fully heal.
Many years of experience have confirmed that certain pathological alterations of tendons, ligaments, capsules, muscles and bones – in other words the root causes of your pain – can be eliminated systematically with this therapy approach.
If performed by qualified therapists, extra- corporeal shock wave therapy of musculoskeletal pain has minimal risks and side effects.
What to Expect
During a session, a small amount of gel is applied to the treatment area, and shockwaves are delivered with a handheld device. Sessions last 10–30 minutes, and 3–6 weekly treatments are typically recommended. Most patients experience pain relief after 1–2 sessions.
