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”)
  • Consequences of injuries (fractures, sprains)

Recommended course:

5–7 procedures with intervals of 5–7 days
