Shockwave therapy

Shockwave therapy is a modern and highly effective treatment method for all kind of musculoskeletal problems.

The term shockwave refers to high energy sound waves. In modern pain therapy, these shock waves are conducted from the place of their generation - the shockwave therapy device and hand piece - to the painful body regions, where they apply their healing effects. Shockwaves accelerate the healing process by activating the body's self-healing capacities. They stimulate the metabolism and improve the blood circulation. Damaged tissue gradually regenerates and eventually heals.

RSWT (Radial Shockwave Therapy)

With radial shockwaves the energy is spread over a large surface area. These devices produce a low to medium energy level.

Pneumatically generated shockwaves are introduced into the body over a large (radial) surface area by means of a freely movable hand piece. The projectile located in the hand piece is accelerated to high speed by a pneumatic pulse. The therapeutic shockwave, which is generated as the projectile strikes the shockwave transmitter integrated in the hand piece, is introduced by the transmitter surface into the pain region to exert its curative effect.
