Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT)
- An innovative method for pain treatment
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT for short) is a non-invasive
option for the treatment of various pains and diseases of the
musculoskeletal system. ESWT has been used successfully in
orthopaedic pain therapy since the beginning of the 1990s. Many
years of experience prove that certain pathological changes in tendons,
ligaments, capsules, muscles and bones can be specifically eliminated
with the help of this healing method. Frequently treated conditions include
frozen shoulder, tennis elbow and heel pain (plantar fasciitis).
The shock waves used are short sound pulses that can penetrate water and soft tissue.
The shock waves are generated outside the body (»extracorporeally«) in the handpiece
of the device and transmitted into the patient's body by means of ultrasound gel,
where they have a targeted effect on the painful areas.
ESWT is performed by qualified therapists. For patients, it is largely free of risks
and side effects. The treatment takes place on an outpatient basis and can
therefore be easily integrated into everyday life - immediately afterwards,
patients can continue with their normal daily routine.
How does shock wave treatment proceed?
At the beginning of a therapy session, the therapist applies an ultrasound
gel to the area to be treated. This is done so that the shock waves can be
introduced into the body without energy loss. Then the therapist starts the
shock wave system and treats the pain zone with the therapy head of the
handpiece. The shock waves are now transmitted into the body. Depending
on the type of device and the indication, approx. 1500 to 2000 shock waves are delivered.
Shock Wave Benefits
Success rate of 80% Non surgical and drug free Non-invasive No risk of infection
Faster and easier healing Reduce expenses
Treatment Result
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) -up to 91%
Calcifying Tendonitis of the Shoulder -up to 91%
Plantar Fasciitis -up to 88%
Patellar Tendonitis/Tendonosis (Jumper's Knee) -up to 87%
Achilles Tendonitis/Tendonosis -up to 87%
Patients receiving shockwave therapy can expect:
A reduction of pain felt by nerve fibres;
An increase of blood circulation in surrounding soft tissues;
Stimulation of the healing process triggered by stem cell activation.
