Shockwave

The musculoskeletal system (muscle, tendons, bone) directly reacts on mechanical stimuli. A specific exercise program i.e. can lead to changes of the structure of tendons, bone or muscle. Shockwave therapy uses specific acoustic waves, that can induce tissue regeneration due to biophysical interactions with the tissue. The treatment does not only relieve pain but also induces healing, with the aim to avoid surgical procedures.
