With shock wave therapy, we offer an efficient and painless procedure in our range of services in our practice in Potsdam. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy ESWT and trigger point shock wave therapy TPST are non-invasive procedures for the treatment of acute and chronic pain in the musculoskeletal system. Based on piezo single and double surface technology, these treatment methods provide the correct shock wave source for a wide range of indications in orthopedics: point-focused, planar and - as a world innovation - linearly focused.
With ESWT, it is possible to treat the internal structures of the musculoskeletal system externally without the need to intervene with a scalpel or other surgical aids.
In lieu of invasive procedures, we utilize state-of-the-art technology for shock wave therapy in our practice in Potsdam, which generates pressure waves that have similar properties to sound waves and are administered externally. These high-energy shock waves penetrate from the surface of the body into the deeper tissue, where they can have a therapeutic effect on pathologically altered structures.
The non-invasive shock wave therapy with virtually no side effects has proven itself highly effective, particularly in the case of inflammatory joint ailments such as tennis elbow, inflammation of the fascia of the sole of the foot, heel spurs, inflammation on the shoulder due to calcium deposits, inflammation of the Achilles tendon or in the absence of bone healing pseudarthrosis after fractures.
In our practice in Potsdam, we also consider shock wave therapy for a variety of other possible uses, which may be less well known, but are just as promising. If you are interested in this procedure or other options, contact us to schedule an appointment.
