SWT for the treatment of intervertebral hernia: features of the technique

Shockwave therapy (SWT) is a procedure that provides exposure to the structures of the spine with acoustic low-frequency waves. Cavitation is created, which leads to deep penetration of the waves when the device comes into contact with the skin. This ensures a mild stress therapeutic effect on the tissues.

Shock wave therapy for hernia will provide:

1. Reduction of pain sensations. In the treatment area, the production of endorphins is stimulated, which have a tangible analgesic effect.
2. Launch of recovery processes. Shockwave therapy can intensify the process of tissue regeneration, including intervertebral discs. The process of natural restoration of structures and their rapid growth is launched.
3. Intensification of local blood circulation. Provides faster tissue recovery and healing. It also improves the permeability of cell membranes.
4. Relieving muscle spasm. After the procedure, the muscles that hold the spine relax, which will eventually lead to a reduction in the load on the intervertebral discs.
5. Elimination of chronic inflammatory processes by activating mast cells. Collagen, procollagen production is also stimulated.

The effect is already felt after the first procedure, but to ensure the most durable result it is recommended to take a course. Doctors of our medical center will tell you more about it during consultations. They will also choose the optimal number of procedures based on the condition of the patient’s spine.
