Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a multidisciplinary device used in orthopaedics, physiotherapy, sports medicine, urology and veterinary medicine. Its main assets are fast pain relief and mobility restoration. Together with being a non-surgical therapy with no need for painkillers makes it an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and cure various indications causing acute or chronic pain
 
Mechanism of Action
Shockwave is an acoustic wave which carries high energy to painful spots and myoskeletal tissues with subacute,subchronic and chronic conditions. The energy promotes regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues. Shockwaves are characterized by jump change in pressure, high amplitude and non-periodicity. The kinetic energy of the projectile, created by compressed air, is transferred to the transmitter at the end of the applicator and further into the tissue

Therapy Sequence
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment. The application is simple and easy. Initiate therapy in 3 steps:
1.Location of the area to be treated (The area to be treated is located using palpation in order to deliver the therapy precisely)
2.Gel application (Sufficient amount of gel is applied to the area located in step 1. Use of gel is necessary to transfer the acoustic waves efficiently and smoothly)
3.Therapy initiation (The shockwave applicator is slightly pushed against the area to be treated and the start button is pressed)
