Shockwave Therapy
Highly effective treatment of tendon-related pain. Fast, safe and effective.
Fast relief of pain from, heel and knee trauma shoulder tendonitis, tennis elbow and degenerative disorders. Allows mobility restoration with no anathesia, no drugs and no side effects.
Shockwave Therapy explained
The first medical treatment with shockwaves was lithotripsy. This allowed focused shockwaves to essentially dissolve kidney stones without surgical intervention. Today, over 98% of all kidney stones are treated with this technology. The use of shockwaves to treat tendon related pain began in the early 1990s.
Shockwave therapy is a modern and highly effective treatment option in orthopaedic and rehabilitation medicine. The term shockwave refers to mechanical pressure pulses that expand as a wave in the body. In modern pain therapy, shockwave energy is conducted from the point of origin - the shockwave generator - to the painful body regions, where it applies its healing capacities.
How it works?
Many medical white papers explain the benefits of Shockwave therapy. A recent paper explains the neural processes involved in pain memory. According to the new theory shock waves selectively delete "pathologic reflex patterns" and enable re-learning of "hale reflex pattern", being the basis of permanent healing.
Where is Shockwave Therapy available?
Heel Spurs - Plantar fasciitis
The shockwave provides a decisive improvement in the clinical development of chronic plantar fasciitis (calcaneal spur). As pain symptoms are eliminated, the load bearing capacity of the foot is rapidly increased.
A heel spur is a pointed bony outgrowth of the bone of the heel (the calcaneus bone). They are attributed to local inflammation at the insertion of soft tissue tendons or fascia in the area. Heel spurs can be located at the back of the heel or under the heel, beneath the sole of the foot.
Is even a short shopping trip painful for you? Have you had to give up sporting activities like jogging or hiking for some time? If you suffer from foot pain, you may not have to worry about every step in a short time.
Hip Pain - Trochanteric Bursitis
Painful periostitis of the outer femur. A bursa between the gluteus maximus muscle and the trochanter of the upper femur at the hip. There is a recent paper being published confirming the effectiveness of shockwave therapy and trochanteric bursitis.
Knee Pain - Patellar Tendinopathy
This syndrome is mostly chronic, often sports induced disorders, the pathologically altered tendon section exhibits a relatively large volume. Also known as Patellar Tip Syndrome where the inflammation is a the point of attachment of the patellar ligament.
Shin Pain - Tibialis Anterior Syndrome
Inflammation of the tibial edge can occur due to excessive strain. Anterior compartment syndromes arise when a muscle becomes too big for the sheath that surrounds it causing pain. The big muscle on the outside of the shin is called the tibialis anterior and is surrounded by a sheath. This is called the anterior compartment of the lower leg. Compartment syndromes can be acute or chronic. Medial stress syndromes are successfully treated with shockwave therapy.
Achilles Tendon - Achillodynia
Painful irritation and inflammation of the Achilles tendon. The Achilles attaches the heel bone with the calf muscle and injury can occur with many activities including running, jumping and other impact activities.
Shoulder Pain - Tendinopathy
Recent study indicates 81% success, the therapeutic device is to reduce or relieve pain and to eliminate pain reduced mobility. Are you subject to extreme shoulder stresses or so you play sport? Do you suffer from stabbing pains whenever you try to lift your arm? It is possible that the pain in your shoulder could be relieved without an operation.
Tennis Elbow - Lateral Epicondylitis
The painful inflammation of the tendon attachment on the lateral elbow can be treated effectively by shockwave therapy. More than 80% of patients with tennis elbow were generally free of pain after treatment with Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy.
Golf Elbow - Medial Epicondylitis
The painful inflammation of the tendon attachment on the medial elbow can be treated effectively by shockwave therapy.
