Shockwave Therapy

Radial Low-Energy Sound Wave Therapy (Shockwave)

The treatment is carried out as part of a multimodal pain therapy for chronic pain at multiple body points using various applicators.

Shockwave treatment has a lasting effect on chronic pain conditions; treatment continues until the tension focus is resolved. Based on experience, muscle pain and radiating pain are eliminated afterward. In addition, pathological changes in tendons, capsules, and bones can also be eliminated.

Goal of therapy: Normalization of muscle tension state (muscle tone).

Background:

The muscles are perhaps even more important for our posture and the so-called 'pain career' than bones, vertebrae, and joints. They support the whole system and ensure that everything runs smoothly and, above all, that extreme overloads are avoided. At the same time, they are something like the 'wailing wall of the body'.

Mental grief, complexes, unfulfilled wishes, mourning, stress, overload, denial, disappointment, all of this preferentially settles here, causing the originally soft mass of power packs to become hard and tense.

Muscle tension can develop throughout the muscular system and often leads to pain.

These muscle tensions typically react to pressure with pain or limit mobility. Here, for example, the shockwave device is applied directly to the tense muscle area, the so-called trigger points / myogeloses.

This treatment can be carried out gently and largely without risk and side effects in consultation with the doctor; small bruising may occur at the treatment points.

Areas of application include:

Back pain, spinal syndrome, cervical spine syndrome, shoulder-neck-arm pain, tension headaches, migraines, shoulder pain, Achilles tendon pain, heel pain/heel spur, knee arthrosis, finger polyarthrosis, patellar tip syndrome, shin pain/tibial edge syndrome, joint diseases, tennis or golfer's elbow, insertion tendinopathies up to sports injuries (muscle fiber tears, distortions), fibromyalgia, rheumatic diseases.

What are shockwaves anyway?

Shockwaves are high-energy audible sound waves and have been used since 1980, among other things, to dissolve kidney stones. In pain therapy, shockwaves transfer energy to the pain region and develop a healing effect. This activates self-healing powers, improves metabolism, increases blood circulation, regenerates damaged tissue, heals, and dissolves muscular adhesions.
