Extracorporeal shock wave therapy
We are pleased to offer you the 15-year accumulated experience of European countries in treating spine and joint pathologies, based on data from over 10 million patients. EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY (ESWT) is a method that enables physicians for the first time to treat diseases of the spine, joints, and the entire musculoskeletal system precisely and without surgical intervention — thus avoiding skin and soft tissue trauma.
The method is based on the short application of high-energy, low-frequency acoustic shockwaves to the affected area. Shockwave therapy significantly improves local blood circulation, breaks down calcified deposits and fibrotic areas that cause inflammation and pain, allowing their fragments to be gradually absorbed by the body. One of the most important effects of ESWT is the growth of new microvessels into the affected area.
Our health resort uses treatment with the Piezoson 100 Plus device by Richard Wolf — currently one of the most mobile and effective devices designed for broad clinical practice. The device is patented and meets the requirements of the German Society for "Shockwave Therapy in Orthopedics".
EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY for spine and joint conditions is performed on an outpatient basis, with each session lasting no more than 15 minutes. A treatment course consists of 3–5 sessions, depending on the severity of the condition, disease duration, and anatomical location. A positive and lasting effect has been achieved in 87–93% of patients! The results are truly impressive!
With clear advantages and proven effectiveness, Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy is currently the most promising treatment method for chronic degenerative-dystrophic diseases (such as osteochondrosis, arthritis, radiculitis, bursitis) of the musculoskeletal system. If you are tired of back pain, lower back discomfort, joint pain or feel limited in your mobility — we are here to help you. Swiss quality and our professional expertise will return to you the joy of life and full range of motion.
Indications for shockwave therapy:
- Back and joint pain, muscle pain
- Heel spurs, osteoarthritis of any localization, arthritis
- Salt deposits in joints, tendons, and muscles
- Poorly healing fractures, sports injuries
- Osteochondrosis, radiculitis, intervertebral disc herniation
Patients should remember that pain relief after ESWT follows a specific pattern. Pain in the treated area usually decreases significantly within 5–6 hours after the session, but may then return and persist for 2–3 days. After this period, the pain typically begins to subside and is usually completely relieved within two weeks following the completion of the treatment course.
