Latest pain management treatment – Shockwave Therapy
Radial shockwave therapy is novel therapeutic device designed for musculoskeletal apparatus treatment. It introduces highly effective alternative to surgery in orthopaedics and replaces all kinds of physical therapy in physiotherapy and in sports medicine. In most common indications clinical studies report success rate above 75%. Heel spur treatment, tennis elbow, patellar tendinopathy or achillodynia are some of these indications.
During Shockwave therapy, a high-intensity sound wave interacts with the tissues of the body. This leads to a cascade of beneficial effects such as neovascularisation in-growth, reversal of chronic inflammation, stimulation of collagen and dissolution of calcium build-up. Stimulation of these biological mechanisms creates an optimal healing environment. As the injured area is returned to normal, functionality is restored and pain is relieved.
