Shock waves have been used successfully in urology for around three decades. For some time now, they have also been used successfully in modern pain therapy and trigger point treatment. The term "shock wave therapy" refers to mechanical pressure impulses that are used therapeutically in the human body. These impulses propagate as a wave and stimulate the regenerative abilities of the organism in the areas to be treated.
Shock waves affect a large area of the diseased parts of the body and accelerate the self-healing process in a targeted manner. Metabolism is improved and localised blood circulation is increased, allowing inflamed or damaged tissue to regenerate more quickly. Painful calcium deposits in joints can also be dissolved with shock wave treatment so that they can be absorbed by the body over time and removed and excreted via the bloodstream. Another area of application is the treatment of trigger points. Trigger points are thickened, pain-sensitive areas on muscles and tendons. They are often the cause of pain that does not necessarily occur in the vicinity of the trigger point, but is localised in completely different areas of the body (distant triggers).
