Revolutionary Treatment for Pain and Healing
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a multidisciplinary device used in orthopedics, physiotherapy, sports medicine, urology and veterinary medicine. Its main assets are fast pain relief and mobility restoration. Together with being a non-surgical therapy with no need for painkillers makes it an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and cure various indications causing acute or chronic pain.
Mechanism of Action
Shockwave therapy is an acoustic wave which carries high energy to painful spots and myoskeletal tissues with subacute, sub-chronic conditions. The energy promotes regeneration and reparative process of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues.
Shockwaves are characterized by jump change in pressure, high amplitude and non-periodicity. The kinetic energy of the projectile, created by compressed air, is transferred to the transmitter at the end of the applicator and further into the tissue.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments varies depending on the indication and tissue response. The effect of the treatment is cumulative, so you will typically need more than one (3-5) treatment. Very often though, you will experience relief right after the first treatment.
