How Does Shockwave Therapy Eliminate Pain?
A shockwave is an acoustic wave which carries high energy to painful spots and myoskeletal tissues with subacute, subchronic and chronic conditions. The energy promotes regenerating and reparative processes of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues.

How Does Shockwave Therapy Eliminate Pain?
Decrease of muscle tension, inhibition of spasms
- Hyperaemia is one of the basic effects of Shockwave therapy in the body. It provides better energy supply to hypertonic muscles and their ligamentous structures. Furthermore, it causes lessening of pathological interactions between actin and myosin. This leads to significant reduction of muscle tension.
Enhanced dispersion of substance P
- The activity of substance P (a pain mediator and growth factor) leads to stimulation of afferent nociceptive fibers. It also supports development of oedema and supports secretion of histamine. Reduction of muscle tension.

How does Shockwave Therapy allow for restoration of mobility?
Increasing of collagen production
- Production of a sufficient amount of collagen is a necessary precondition for repair processes of the damaged myoskeletal and ligamentous structures.
Improved metabolism and microcirculation
- The Shockwave Therapy technology accelerates removal of nociceptive metabolites, increases oxygenation and supplies damaged tissue with source of energy. It supports removal of histamine, lactic acid and other irritating agents.
Mobility Restoration
- Increasing resorption of calcium deposits
