EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY (ESWT) IMPACT ULTRASOUND. High-intensity sound waves that have been successfully applied to treatments involving chronic pain since the early 1990s. Diagnosis and treatment of many painful conditions of the musculoskeletal system.

Immediate treatment of both chronic and acute pain. Treatment almost painless and with results from the first few sessions

Focused shock waves stimulate the epidermal fibres of peripheral nerves, thus triggering pain points in deeper and superficial layers of muscle fibres, achieving immediate bio-recovery of tissues that have a musculoskeletal pathology.

In general, shock waves are identified as acoustic pulse as they impinge during the application of the treatment on the tissue, activating the natural processes of the body's recovery. Parameters related to the process of the impact of this wave are pressure, energy density on the focused surface, force and power, which are regulated by the physiotherapist.

Advantages of the therapy

• Immediate relief from pain.
• Treatment with immediate improvement in the patient's mobility.
• Treatment without the requirement of hospitalization.
• Treatment avoiding immediate surgery.
• Reduction in the use of pharmaceutical preparations.
• Treatment without side effects.

Non-invasive method of treatment without causing pain to the operator

With the use of percussive ultrasound it is observed:

• Increase in metabolism and microcirculation of blood due to dilation of small arterioles and capillaries.
• Dissolution of calcium deposits (deposition of calcium salts in the tissues of the joint).
• Apodymic action; anti-inflammatory action.
• Increase in collagen production in the tissues.
• In-depth action through controlled focused energy emission provided by the device. It is a treatment that does not require anesthesia as well as has no side effects.
