Fast, targeted relief for stubborn pain
A non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to relieve pain, reduce inflammation and accelerate the body's own healing process.
A history rooted in results
Shock waves are high-energy, audible sound waves, characterized by a rapid increase in pressure and a short pulse length. They occur in our everyday lives, for example, when an aircraft breaks the sound barrier.
Shock waves have been used in medicine since 1980. Originally, the then-new procedure was introduced to successfully remove kidney stones without surgery. The second area of application was the treatment of poorly healing bone fractures, so-called pseudarthroses.
Due to these successes, more and more research was done on the effect of shock waves on the human body. Subsequently, it was quickly discovered that the procedure is also successful at treating chronic pain and injuries of the musculoskeletal system. Since the beginning of the 1990s, this area of application has become increasingly important in treating athletes and their multiple injuries.
There are many benefits of shock wave therapy. In addition to relieving pain and accelerating healing, it can also reduce inflammation, improve blood circulation, production of stem cells and increase the mobility of the affected area. Furthermore, the treatment generally has hardly any side effects. The targeted application of sound waves can relieve pain and speed up recovery.
What is Focused Shockwave Therapy?
This device electromagnetically generates an extracorporeal shock wave, which produces a high-pressure peak in a very short amount of time.
- Short treatment time (10–15 minutes)
- Precise and targeted application
- Results in a few treatments (1–12)
- Deep tissue can be reached easily and precisely
- Excellent alternative to medication
Five advantages of Shockwave in brief
Shockwave therapy is known for its ability to treat musculoskeletal tendonitis, chronic pain and certain injuries. The high-energy sound waves penetrate deep into the tissue, reducing inflammation and providing rapid pain relief.
The application of shock waves improves blood circulation, benefiting tissue healing and stimulating collagen production for stronger tendons and ligaments. This accelerates the healing process by increasing the body's own regenerative capacity and improving metabolism, allowing damaged tissue to regenerate and heal for a faster recovery.
Effective in conditions such as calcific tendonitis.
As a non-invasive treatment method, shockwave therapy offers an alternative to invasive procedures. It does not require surgery, reduces the risk of complications and shortens recovery time.
