Shockwave Therapy
Targeted Treatment. Faster recovery.
Radial shockwave therapy is a gentle yet highly effective method for treating pain and functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system. It stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, relieves symptoms, and noticeably improves the mobility of muscles, tendons, and joints.
Benefits
-
Rapid pain relief: Symptoms are often significantly reduced after just a few sessions.
-
Enhanced healing: Blood circulation, metabolism, and tissue regeneration in muscles, tendons, and bones are specifically stimulated.
-
Safe and non-invasive: No surgery, no medication, no anesthesia.
-
Wide range of applications: Ideal for tendon insertions, trigger points, muscle tension, and calcifications.
-
Long-lasting results: Supports sustainable functional improvement and helps prevent recurring symptoms.
Areas of Application
Radial shockwave therapy is used for a wide range of orthopedic and sports-related conditions, including:
-
Heel spur
-
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
-
Patellar tendinopathy
-
Tendon insertion pain
-
Calcific shoulder (calcific tendinitis)
-
Achilles tendon irritation
-
Muscle tension and trigger points
Treatment Process
During the session, you will lie comfortably while the therapist applies the shockwave applicator to the affected area and moves it in controlled intervals.
The treatment may feel slightly uncomfortable or pressure-sensitive for a short time. Mild redness after the session is normal and usually subsides quickly.
