Shock wave therapy: testimonials, results, procedure at the Shakhtar sanatorium

Apparently, pain in the back and in the joints was felt by almost every one of you. The statistics are disappointing. More than a half of the adult population suffer from the diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The commercials are replete with a variety of drugs that promise to relieve pain syndrome. Of course, they will reduce pain and discomfort for a while, but their action will be short-lived. And with uncontrolled use, you risk only aggravation to your health. However, today there is an absolutely innovative method of treatment, the name of which is shock wave therapy based on the German Zimmer apparatus.

The basis of the technique is the effect of the propagation of an acoustic wave that penetrates the tissues of the human body and affects the pain points. The task of SWT is not the destruction of tissues, but the stimulation of interstitial structures. The shock waves cause microtraumas and hematomas, which result in the activation of osteoblasts, bone marrow growth and bone marrow restoration. Anesthesia and stimulation of the formation of new microvessels in the places of connection of bones and tendons take place. The modern technique of shock-wave therapy has been used in various fields of medicine. But, most often used with the following illnesses:

• radial and elbow epicondylitis;
• tendinitis of the knee joint area;
• tendinitis of the shoulder joint;
• osteoarthritis of the joints of the foot;
• muscle pain (trigger points);
• plantar fasciitis, achillodynia, heel spurs;
• Peyronie’s disease;
• Dupuytren’s contracture.

Treatment with shock wave therapy in Truskavets

The method is considered rather new, the one that requires special equipment, the cost of which is not small. For this reason, not every medical center will offer you a shock wave therapy session.

However, the Zimmer shock wave therapy apparatus was purchased by the Shakhtar sanatorium for the convenience of its clients. You have the opportunity to go through a treatment session and feel the effect of the modern method. The responses of many patients indicate the following improvements:

• pain and inflammation decreased;
• blood circulation improved;
• improved nutrition of affected tissues;
• resistance of tendons, muscles and ligaments increased;
• elasticity of tissues increased;
• mobility in the area where damage had occurred increased.

I would like to note that the procedure is painless. During the procedure, the parameters of exposure of the disturbing area are individually determined, in order for the patient to be comfortable. Analgesic effect will be felt immediately at the end of the procedure.
