Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy uses high-frequency sound waves for tissue treatment and is effective in relieving chronic pain and inflammation (e.g., plantar fasciitis, shoulder pain). The impulses stimulate circulation, collagen production and the body's natural healing process.

How It Works

Shockwave therapy operates on a precise scientific mechanism that triggers the body's natural healing process:

  1. 1 Sound wave targeting into tissues – precisely directed acoustic waves penetrate deep into tissues
  2. 2 Creation of microscopic trauma – controlled micro-trauma activates the healing process
  3. 3 Improved circulation and metabolism – increased tissue perfusion leads to faster healing processes
  4. 4 Anti-inflammatory effect and pain relief – reduces inflammatory processes and activates natural pain relief
  5. 5 Stimulation of collagen production – promotes formation of new healthy tissue

Which Conditions is Shockwave Therapy Suitable For?

Plantar Fasciitis

Treatment of painful heel condition, which is one of the most common indications for shockwave therapy.

Shoulder Pain and Limited Mobility

Chronic shoulder problems, including impingement syndrome and calcifications.

Tendinopathies

Chronic tendon diseases, such as Achilles tendon or lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow).

Trigger Points

Treatment of painful muscle points and deep muscle tissue relaxation.

Bone Fracture Healing

Stimulation of bone tissue regeneration and acceleration of healing process.

Back Pain

Treatment of chronic lower back pain and improvement of spinal mobility.

Contraindications

Shockwave therapy is not suitable in the following cases:

  • Pregnancy – any shockwave therapy is contraindicated during pregnancy
  • Blood clotting disorders – use of anticoagulants or tendency to bleeding
  • Pacemaker – electronic device may malfunction
  • Acute infections in treatment area – inflammation or infection in the treated area
  • Malignant tumors – presence of tumor or suspicion of its existence
  • Nerve tissue disorders – neurological conditions in the treatment area

Possible Side Effects

Shockwave therapy side effects are usually mild and temporary:

  • Mild pain during and immediately after the procedure
  • Redness in the treatment area, which subsides within a few hours
  • Swelling may occur 24-48 hours after treatment
  • Discomfort with movement during the first day

These reactions are part of the normal healing process and show that the treatment is working. Severe pain or prolonged discomfort is not normal and should be reported to the therapist.

Modern Approach to Chronic Pain Treatment

Shockwave therapy offers an effective alternative to traditional treatment methods. Don't accept chronic pain and use modern, evidence-based technology to restore your health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shockwave therapy may cause moderate discomfort during the procedure, but it should not be unbearable. Pain intensity depends on the treated area and individual pain threshold. The therapist always adjusts the intensity according to your comfort level.
The number of sessions depends on the severity and chronicity of the condition. Usually 3-6 sessions are needed, performed at 4-7 day intervals. Some patients feel improvement after the first session, others may need more time.
Yes, shockwave therapy is safe when performed by an experienced therapist and all contraindications are followed. It is a non-invasive method that requires no surgery or medication. Side effects are minimal and temporary.
Recovery speed is individual. Some patients feel relief within 24-48 hours, others only after a few weeks. It's important to remember that healing is a process and maximum benefit may only appear 6-12 weeks after treatment completion.
No special preparation is needed. Come in comfortable clothes that allow easy exposure of the treatment area. Inform the therapist of all your health conditions and medications. Avoid intensive training 24 hours before and after treatment.
