Shockwave therapy

Shockwave therapy

Shockwave therapy is a highly effective treatment method that helps treat both acute and chronic conditions by using a modern device that directs shockwaves from the shockwave therapy equipment to the problematic areas of the body. Shockwave therapy is widely used, mainly in orthopedics and rehabilitation for bone and joint system diseases. It is recommended when massage and physical therapy do not provide the expected results. Shockwaves break down calcifications, accelerate healing processes, stimulate metabolism, improve blood circulation, reduce swelling, and alleviate pain. The specialized device's applicator is applied to the problematic body area, and shockwaves are directed to the target area. The procedure is painless and lasts approximately 20 minutes.

When is shockwave therapy used?

Shockwave therapy is used in the following cases:
• Joint pain,
• Chronic back and muscle pain,
• Tendon calcifications and bone calcifications,
• Heel spurs,
• Tendinitis,
• Elbow joint inflammation,
• Muscle inflammation,
• Ligament problems,
• Acute and chronic pain resulting from sprains or overloads, such as sports injuries.

Before starting therapy, it is necessary to consult with a specialist doctor (traumatologist, surgeon, rehabilitation specialist)

Shockwave therapy should not be performed during pregnancy, in oncological patients, or in cases of skin inflammation and abscesses. Therapy is provided as a paid service, and a referral from a family doctor or specialist is required.
