Shock Wave Therapy

Are you suffering from the following symptoms?

  • Plantarfasciitis
  • Chronic Achilles tendon pain
  • Heel pain (calcaneal spur)
  • Muscle trigger points
  • Other forms of insertion tendonitis

As evidenced by various scientific studies, many patients have been relieved of their chronic pain as a result of radial shock wave therapy.

Proven radial shock wave efficacy

Shock waves rather than injections or surgery-rediscover normal mobility! Are you among the many patients who are- suffer ing from chronic pain and have tried everything possible to get rid of its Injections, medication, physiotherapy, relaxation methods, and so forth. And hasn't your pain always returned after a short while, often worse than ever before.

Chronic pain is often caused by inflammations or calcifications of tendons or soft tissue located close to muscles or by tensed-up muscles, muscu-lar no dosity (trigger points) or inappropriate loading.

A necessity rather than luxury: Radial shock Wave therapy is considered one of the most innovative developments in recent pain therapy.

Contrary to conventional treatment methods, Radial Shock Wave Therapy allows the causes of pain to be eliminated directly at the point of origin without any medication or surgery. Successful results are achieved after a few treatment sessions.

 

How does Radial Shock Wave Therapy actually work?

First of all, the Podiatrist localizes the pain region by palpation and following the patient's indications of pain. After the source of pain and the pain region have been identified, the area of pain is subjected to short pulsed shock waves.

These high-energy acoustic pulses improve the metabolism in the pain region, increase blood cir culation and thus effectively stimulate the body's intrinsic repair mechanisms. In other words, radial therpay is all about activating the body's self-healing abilities.
