A shockwave is an acoustic wave that delivers high energy to painful points and muscular tissue. This energy triggers the body's own healing mechanisms. The blood circulation is significantly improved, blood volume is increased, which speeds up the elimination of the inflammatory trigger, resulting in less inflammation and pain.
Indications for shock wave treatment:
- tennis elbow, golf elbow
- calcareous shoulder
- hip pain
- patellar tendinitis
- achilles tendon pain
- chronic ligament- joint capsule irritations, inflammations
- acute and chronic muscle pain
- certain areas of shoulder pain (bursitis or non-surgical shoulder syndromes)
- early and late rehabilitation of muscle and tendon injuries
- muscle knots that do not respond or respond poorly to massage therapy (myogelosis)
- certain foot pains (metatarsal pains)
- heel pain, heel spur
- groin pulling (adductor tendinopathy)
- certain cases of back and lower back pain
- certain cases of neck and headaches
The implementation of shockwave therapy:
First of all, you need a recommendation from a rheumatologist or orthopaedic specialist. The physiotherapist will then carry out an assessment of your condition and start treatments 1-2 times a week. The number of treatments depends on the recovery, often pain is relieved after 3-5 sessions, in some cases up to 10-15 sessions may be needed.
