Shockwave therapy
What exactly is shockwave therapy?
In shockwave therapy, you are exposed to powerful 'shockwaves', which we precisely target to the affected body part by means of a treatment gun. The shockwaves, the mechanical effect, accelerate the healing process by activating the body's self-healing properties. Thus, they stimulate metabolism and improve blood circulation while inhibiting the degenerative process in the structure being treated. The treatment lasts about 15 to 20 minutes.
Benefits of Shockwave therapy
- Treatment without drugs or surgery.
- Short-term treatment (15 to 20 minutes per session).
- Excellent therapy success after an average of 6 to 8 treatments.
- Treating the causes rather than the symptoms.
- Pain relief and restoration of full mobility after a few days.
- Few side effects. However, slight redness or swelling may occur immediately after treatment.
- An injection or even surgery may prove unnecessary.
