Chronic pain in the back, joints, or heel? Shock Wave Therapy (SWT) is a modern, non-invasive treatment method for musculoskeletal disorders with proven effectiveness.
How the method works:
The procedure is based on the use of acoustic waves, which:
- penetrate to a depth of 5–7 cm
- act precisely on inflammation sites
- activate the body’s natural recovery processes
Shock wave energy helps to:
- break down calcium deposits (in heel spurs and arthrosis)
- stimulate the growth of new blood vessels
- accelerate metabolic processes in affected tissues
- trigger cellular regeneration
Advantages of shock wave therapy:
- fast pain relief — noticeable effect after 1–2 sessions
- restoration of joint and spinal mobility
- no side effects typical of medications
- long-lasting results — remission up to 1 year
- non-invasive — no surgery or rehabilitation required
Indications for shock wave therapy (SWT):
- Osteochondrosis and intervertebral disc herniation
- Osteoarthritis of the knee and hip joints
- Heel spur, plantar fasciitis
- Tendinitis, epicondylitis (“tennis elbow”)
