A session of shock wave therapy at the «SV Center» rehabilitation center

Shock wave therapy shows a high efficiency in the treatment of various orthopedic disorders. Due to the unique properties of the shock wave therapy method for the regeneration of new tissues, vessels (capillaries), an extremely high enhancement of metabolic processes in the affected area, it is possible to significantly accelerate the process of scar tissue formation and reduce the treatment time.

The device generates shock (sound) waves of optimal parameters for use in traumatology and orthopedics, which are focused and in the form of shock-wave impulses enter the patient's body and are absorbed at the border with the bone.

High-energy shock waves loosen areas of calcification, bony growths and fibrous foci, providing a therapeutic effect in the focus positioning zone, while also activating the release of calcium compounds and the formation of callus in bone fractures.

The penetration depth of the therapeutic focus (up to 80 mm) provides treatment for the entire spectrum of indications for shock wave therapy in orthopedics and traumatology:

• Heel spurs.
• Morton's neuromas
• Epicondylitis.
• Bursitis.
• Plantar fasciitis.
• Calcified tendonitis.
• Styloiditis (wrist tendonitis).
• Radial and ulnar epicondylitis (tennis elbow).
• Achillodynia.
• Patella tendonitis (jumper's knee).
• Tibial stress syndrome.
• Tendinosis in the trochanter area.
• Poorly healing fractures.

Shockwave therapy is more effective and safer than traditional conservative treatment for calcific tendinitis, providing a clear reduction in calcium deposits and a faster return to sports or normal daily activities.

Treatment begins at the point of maximum pain. Shock waves are emitted to target tissues by moving the applicator in slow circular motions over the entire painful area.

Once the primary pain point is eliminated by the pain-relieving effect of shock waves, other painful spots may appear that were previously drowned out by the primary pain point. Thus, the painful area begins to migrate. The better the painful areas are localized and treated during the treatment procedure, the better the therapy result.

Contraindications:

• Neoplasms in the SWT area.
• Vascular thrombosis of any localization.
• Acute infectious processes.
• Pathology of the blood coagulation system.
• Pregnancy.
• Violation of the rhythm of the heart.
• Skin diseases in the SWT area.
