Shockwave therapy is performed on the apparatus of the famous Swiss company Storz Medical. The main feature of the equipment is that the acoustic wave is generated naturally (pneumatically). Penetration depth - is up to 7 centimeters, this allows the device to be used for various indications. Storz Medical equipment has a wide range of options for controlling the frequency and power of impact, which allows you to reduce the course of treatment due to the high efficiency of the procedures. It is worth saying that during the impact of the acoustic wave, no heat is released and no electromagnetic field is formed. This means that the UVT procedure can be performed even in the presence of metal structures. For example, in the case of treatment of complex fractures with installed metal pins.
Depending on the diagnosis, the specialist adjusts the strength and intensity of the wave, as well as the penetration depth. Next, a gel is applied to the area to be treated - its goal is to improve the acoustic wave permeability. Then the doctor directs the sensor of the device to the affected area. During the procedure, discomfort and pain impulses may be felt. But with each subsequent procedure, this passes, and the effect of the treatment, on the contrary, increases.
A single shockwave therapy session takes about 15-20 minutes. After the session, redness may appear on the skin in the place of the device influence, and during the next day, there is a feeling of muscle soreness, like after physical exercise.
To achieve the best effect, it is necessary to take a course of 3-6 procedures with an interval of 4-7 days. The next course is recommended to be repeated after 6-12 months – according to the indications of your attending physician.
