Shockwave Therapy

What is shockwave therapy?

You might recognize this: a problem that just won’t go away. A sore shoulder that doesn’t really get better. A heel that’s tender every morning. Or a tendon that’s been acting up for a long time, even though you’ve already tried everything. Some problems just won’t go away. In such situations, shockwave therapy can be a valuable addition to your treatment plan.

In shockwave therapy, we use short, powerful sound waves that penetrate deep into the tissue. These stimuli help the body restart the healing process that has stalled. Blood flow may improve, and the body is stimulated to repair damaged tissue. This can also gradually break down calcifications in tendons. Many people notice that their pain decreases and movement becomes easier again.

When will you be joining us?

Shockwave therapy is often used to treat conditions that have persisted for some time. This treatment can help speed up recovery, especially in cases of irritated or overused tendons.

For example:

• heel spur
• tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow
• Achilles tendon symptoms
• Calcifications in the shoulder
• chronic tendon irritation
• trigger finger
• De Quervain’s disease

Scientific research shows that shockwave therapy can produce good results for these types of symptoms. Many people find that the pain gradually subsides and that moving becomes easier again.

How We Work

At our practice, we use two high-quality shockwave devices. This allows us to precisely tailor the energy and frequency to your condition and the tissue we’re treating. This ensures that the treatment remains targeted, careful, and safe.

During treatment, we focus very precisely on the area where the problem is located. We use short, targeted stimuli to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. The treatment usually lasts only a few minutes and is often combined with physical therapy and targeted exercises to further support recovery.

What We’re Working Toward

For us, shockwave therapy is never just a gimmick. We only use it when it fits into the overall picture of your condition and recovery. We always combine it with a thorough examination, clear explanations, and targeted exercises. This way, we work not only to reduce pain but also to build stronger, more resilient tissue. Together, we’ll determine what you need to regain your freedom of movement and perform your daily activities without limitations.
