Shock Wave therapy (UHT)
A treatment method based on the effect of acoustic shock waves on body tissues.
Shockwave therapy is a sought—after treatment method in orthopedics, sports medicine, neurology and physiotherapy.
It is aimed at eliminating chronic pain, treating diseases of joints, muscles, soft tissues and their entheses (the place where tendons and fascia attach to bone), as well as improving bone regeneration after a fracture. UHT is used for conditions such as heel spur, epicondylitis, trochanteritis and other pathologies of the musculoskeletal system. UHT is safe and can be used both independently and in combination with other methods of restorative treatment. After the first sessions, patients feel a significant reduction in pain and an improvement in their quality of life.
Consultation with a physiotherapist. Appointment of additional studies (if necessary). Determination of suitable shock wave therapy parameters.
The doctor sets the parameters of the intensity and frequency of exposure, and then applies a special applicator to the patient's body, through which shock waves are applied. The procedure may cause discomfort in the area of exposure. After the end of the session, the patient can immediately return to normal life. The duration of the session is 5-20 minutes, the course includes from 5 to 10 procedures.
T-TOP "F-SW ULTRA" is an innovative installation for focused shockwave therapy. The MASTERPULS MP100 ULTRA is a powerful device for radial shockwave therapy.
To achieve maximum effect, the doctor may recommend limiting intense physical activity for 24 hours after the session, as well as physical therapy or additional physiotherapy procedures.
