New at AFI: Shockwave therapy for acute pain relief and injury prevention
News20. 09. 2024
The AFI Veleslavín Clinic now offers radial shockwave therapy using the state-of-the-art BTL-6000 RSWT PRO device. This device assists physiotherapists in treating clients with musculoskeletal pain.
What is shockwave therapy and how does it work?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment method for pain and inflammation in muscles and tendons, utilizing acoustic waves to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. The device is designed to effectively target and treat issues related to joint pain, spinal discomfort, and heel spurs. This therapy significantly aids in wound healing and tissue repair, increases collagen production, reduces muscle tension, and provides an analgesic effect that greatly alleviates pain. Shockwave treatment is indicated by a rehabilitation doctor or physiotherapist and can be supplemented with traditional physiotherapy techniques as needed.
Why choose shockwave therapy?
- Effective Solution for Chronic Pain: Shockwave therapy is an ideal choice for treating chronic pain that conventional methods cannot fully alleviate.
- Non-invasive and Safe: It is a non-invasive treatment that does not require medications or local anesthesia, reducing the risk of side effects and allowing for quicker return to regular activities.
- Fast Results: Device therapy provides pain relief and accelerates the healing process in a short time, meaning fewer clinic visits and more time for the activities you enjoy.
