How Does The Shockwave Therapy Device Work?
Swiss Shockwave Therapy creates pulsating mechanical energy waves that is deeply targeted at the painful muscle to alleviate your pain fast and enhance blood flow to the area. It also has a beneficial effect on the tissue, making other treatments more successful.
Chronic pain can be caused by scar tissue or adhesions that form in tendons, ligaments or soft tissue after an injury. The Swiss Shockwave Therapy effectively resets these chronic problems, as it often puts pressure on nerves that can cause pain. Breaking up the scarring and adhesions reduces the pressure on the nerve and enhances the circulation to the area, allowing the body to heal more effectively. Additionally, it will help improve your limited range of motion and activates cellular regeneration.
How Effective Is A Shockwave Therapy Treatment?
In clinical studies, about 91% of patients reported successful results, including a decrease in chronic pain, increase in mobility, and other health improvements. Roughly 80% of all patients report satisfaction with the results of this treatment. (Material Socia-Medica)

An International Story Of Shockwave Therapy Success
Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Treatment (EPAT), Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy Technology (ESWT) and Shockwave Therapy (SWT), was developed after Haeusler & Kiefer’s first non-direct contact disintegration of a kidney stone in 1971. (ISMST)
This is a non-invasive procedure which utilizes a series of high-peak acoustic wave pulsations generated by the shockwave device to be applied directly to the injured tissue. Shockwave Therapy works by stimulating the body’s metabolism and increasing blood circulation to the damaged area, thereby accelerating the healing process.
