SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Do you have a muscle, fascia and tendon problem for which you need help and treatment for pain or to improve the metabolism of the injured area? Shockwave therapy has been studied as an effective form of treatment, which is usually followed by rapid pain relief and functional improvement. In Shockwave therapy, a pressure wave is applied to the tissues, which improves the metabolism in the area of pain or injury. The tissues get better oxygen and thus heal faster. Shockwave therapy can be used in the treatment of many ailments of the musculoskeletal system and it also works in challenging and even chronic muscle, fascia and tendon problems. Most often, 3–6 treatments every 1–2 weeks are enough to calm the symptoms.
The most typical situations in which shockwave therapy is helpful are:
- Problems with the rotator cuff
- Tennis and golfer's elbow (epicondylitis)
- Jumper's and runner's knee problems
- Achilles tendon problems
- Problems with the sole of the foot (plantar fasciitis)
