Shockwave has analgesic effects, accelerates tissue healing, improves mobility and stimulates blood flow. The effects are quickly felt and long-lasting. It is usually necessary to undergo several treatments to get the desired results. For this reason, a package of 5 sessions is a great way to save money and schedule treatments accordingly.
Depending on the individual's pain threshold and area of application, the patient may experience pain or discomfort (a feeling of pressure, tingling) during the treatment. In general, however, the therapy is well tolerated, and any pain subsides soon after the session.
Contraindications to shock wave therapy include pregnancy, blood clotting disorders, cancer, active infections in the treatment area. Shockwave is not recommended near the head, spine, ribs and lymph nodes.
