Using Acoustic Wave to Relieve Pain

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy

All muscular conditions have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles. Overused muscles and other soft tissues change in three important ways: 

1. Acute conditions from accidental pulls, frictions, micro trauma

2. Accumulation of small tears

3. Not getting enough oxygen (hypoxia)

 

Each of these factors can cause the body to produce tough, dense scar tissue in the affected area. This scar tissue binds up and ties down tissues that need to move freely. As scar tissue builds up, muscles become shorter and weaker, tension on tendons causes tendonitis, and nerves can become trapped. This can cause reduced joints range of motion, loss of muscle strength, and pain. If a nerve is trapped, tingling, numbness and motor weakness will follow.

 

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) effectively break scar tissues and adhesions in tendons, ligaments, muscles, bones and calcification to increase joints mobility and therefore pain free movements.

Commonly Treated Conditions

Swiss Technology

Powerful & Effective Pain Relief

How does ESWT Work

Electromagnetic low energy sound waves to precisely localise the pain zone using a handpick to treat the pathological changes in tendons. ligaments, muscles and bones

How does it Help

Accelerate the treated area's own ability to regenerate by improving blood circulation to the area, increasing metabolic rate so that the damaged soft tissue can regenerate and heal

How Long & How Often it is Done

Depending on the type and severity of the disease or pain, the duration of a single therapy session also varies. In most cases, a treatment lasts from 10 to 30 minutes. On average, 3 to 6 sessions are required at weekly intervals

How Successful is it

Intensively research proven that medical conditions such as heel pain (plantar fasciitis) has clearly proven its effectiveness. Many patients report being pain-free or experiencing significantly reduced pain after just one or two sessions. Regained freedom from pain or freedom of movement restores some their quality of life
