Shockwave therapy – targeted impulses against pain
In recent years, it has been shown that treatment with radial shockwave therapy can be particularly effective in supporting regeneration in cases of muscular, fascial and tendon insertion disorders.
In shockwave therapy, a device generates a pressure pulse that is transmitted to the tissue being treated via a handle. The pulse wave penetrates to a depth of approximately 4 cm and triggers the release of messenger substances that initiate various pain-relieving and healing-promoting reactions in the body. This results in pain reduction and dilation of blood vessels, leading to improved tissue healing.
Shockwave therapy is indicated for the following disorders:
Myofascial trigger points
Myofascial trigger points are areas in the muscles that can become hardened due to overuse and cause pain, restricted movement, and loss of strength.
Achilles tendon problems
Overload along the tendon and at the insertion point of the heel.
Tennis- u. Golferellenbogen
Overload of the tendon insertion point in the area of the inner (golfer's elbow) or outer (tennis elbow) elbow.
Back pain

Often, tendon problems are accompanied by trigger points in the corresponding muscles. These tendon problems and muscle strains are usually the result of overuse or improper use. Such problems can only be permanently resolved by identifying and addressing the underlying cause.
Therefore, every treatment begins with a physiotherapy assessment to understand these connections. A targeted therapy plan is then created. This plan includes the correct dosage and location of the shockwave application and suitable exercises to support regeneration.
To remain symptom-free in the long term, it is essential to first reduce the triggering factors and then increase one's own performance capacity. This gives the body time to recover and to renew and strengthen damaged tissue.
