Shock wave therapy (or UHT) is a non-surgical method for treating a number of diseases of the musculoskeletal system using acoustic waves.
A shock or acoustic wave is a low-frequency sound wave that penetrates the tissues of a person’s body and affects painful points.
Cost: 7.47 bel. rubles for 1 procedure. Duration: up to 7 minutes. Minimum course: 4-6 procedures.
The basic principle of shock wave therapy:
The basic principle of shock wave therapy is the targeted local transfer of therapeutic energy to the treatment area without disturbing the skin. Shock waves increase the permeability of cell membranes without destroying the cells themselves, fat metabolism and lipolysis are activated. Shock waves stimulate microcirculation and lymphatic drainage. Due to these conditions, fat can be quickly broken down and removed with blood flow. The impact of the shock wave contributes to the resorption of fibro-scar tissue, reduce internal edema, increase skin elasticity due to the germination of new microvessels and dramatically improve nutrition.
A shock wave is an acoustic wave that carries high energy to pain points. This energy accelerates the healing processes, regeneration of tendons and soft tissues. Due to the pulsed and targeted impact, the shock wave reduces pain, improves blood circulation in the tissues. This technology promotes the excretion of catabolism products, activates the function of macrophages.
Advantages of the method:
outpatient treatment does not disrupt the patient’s usual rhythm of life
treatment takes place in a short time with the rapid achievement of a long therapeutic effect
combined with other physiotherapeutic procedures.
In the course of treatment, 2 types of effects are distinguished:
