Shockwave Therapy

How Shockwave Therapy Works

Shock Wave Therapy is a modern and highly effective treatment option in orthopaedic and rehabilitation medicine.  Shock Waves are movements of extremely high pressure caused by, for example, an explosion, an earthquake or a plane breaking the sound barrier.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is the application of Shock Waves in medicine.

It is clinically proven that pressure waves, when applied to injured tissues, stimulate metabolic reactions:

  • Reduction of pain felt by nerve fibers
  • Increase of blood circulation in surrounding soft tissues
  • Beginning of healing process triggered by stem cells activation

Thank for my truly effective treatment. I can roll my shoulder back without any effort! No clicking or anything! It feels loose. I can’t remember the last time it felt this good.
