Shockwave Therapy (SWT) is a relatively new non-invasive method for treating musculoskeletal pain. The procedure involves applying shockwaves of adjustable strength and frequency to a specific area of the body. These waves focus on the affected area, delivering precise therapeutic effects without damaging healthy tissues.
Shockwave Therapy (SWT) is primarily used to treat chronic muscle and skeletal disorders, as well as joint, back, and neck pain. According to specialists, this technique bridges the gap between conservative and surgical treatments and often yields excellent results in patient therapy.
Mechanism of Action
Shockwaves penetrate the skin, subcutaneous fat, and blood vessels, encountering resistance mainly at the surface of dense structures (muscles, ligaments, bones). As a result, in these areas:
- Blood and lymph flow increase;
- The tone of excessively tense muscles decreases;
- Pathological formations (bone spurs, fascia thickening, etc.) break down.
Expected Results After a Course of Shockwave Therapy (SWT):
- Pain relief;
- Reduced swelling;
- Increased mobility in affected joints;
- Faster tissue recovery after injuries and fractures;
- Improved tolerance to physical exertion.
Indications:
- Osteochondrosis, arthritis, arthrosis, periarthritis;
- Epicondylitis;
- Heel spur, plantar fasciitis;
- Patellar tendonitis, gout, Achilles tendinopathy;
- Bursitis, trochanteritis;
- Ligament disorders, pain at tendon and ligament attachment sites;
- Slow-healing fractures;
- Myofascial syndrome;
- Hallux valgus deformity.
