Shockwave Therapy

Shockwaves are acoustic waves that carry energy to painful areas. The treatment and regeneration process of tendons and soft tissue occurs through:

• Improved metabolism and microcirculation
• Reduction of muscle tension and inhibition of contractions
• Removal of harmful substances from the diseased tissue, ie calcified deposits, lactic acid
• Increasing the production of collagen necessary for the reconstruction of damaged tissues

Shockwave therapy is used in the treatment of:

• Heel pain (plantar fasciitis, heel spurs)
• Achilles tendon pain
• Patella tendon pain (jumper’s knee)
• Anterior tibial muscle syndrome
• Pain in the hip area
• Shoulder pain
• Tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow (epicondylitis)
• Shockwaves also target trigger points – sensitive areas in muscles that are painful under pressure and cause radiating pain and other symptoms in distant areas of the body.
