The biological processes in our bodies can be supported by various physical methods, including shockwave therapy. In this procedure, affected areas—such as poorly circulated muscles—are treated with pulsed ultrasound at a specific frequency. Below are some conditions where shockwave therapy can be applied.
The main task of our kidneys is to filter and cleanse the blood. They remove excess water along with toxic metabolic waste and excrete it as urine. If the kidneys function only partially or stop functioning altogether, it's called renal insufficiency. Shockwave therapy can stimulate the formation of new blood vessels in kidney tissue, improving circulation and potentially restoring kidney function.
Shockwave therapy has been used in orthopedics since the 1990s. Muscles, tendons, joints, and calcifications (e.g., “calcific shoulder”) are specifically treated with shockwaves. Painful muscle tension, in particular, can gradually be relieved through improved blood flow.
Let's be honest, ladies - most of us have a few dimples on our thighs, abdomen, or buttocks. That's completely normal, but some women find cellulite distressing. Shockwave therapy can also be used to treat connective tissue, as it stimulates lymphatic flow and may lead to visible improvement in skin texture.
Erectile dysfunction is often caused by poor circulation, which itself may be linked to metabolic disorders (e.g., diabetes). Shockwave therapy can improve blood flow, which in turn may help restore erectile function.
Shockwave therapy has many more areas of application, which we would be happy to explain to you in a personal consultation.
