Shockwave therapy at the Wellcome Health Centre
In recent years, it has been shown that treatment with shock wave therapy can be particularly effective in supporting regeneration of muscular, fascia and tendon problems.
In shock wave therapy, a device generates a pressure pulse that is transferred to the tissue to be treated via a handle. The pulse wave spreads to a depth of about 4 cm and releases messenger substances that trigger various pain-inhibiting and effect-enhancing reactions in the body. This reduces pain and expands the blood vessels, resulting in improved tissue healing.
Shock wave therapy is indicated for the following disorders:
Myofascial trigger points
Myofascial trigger points are areas in the muscles that harden due to excessive strain and can cause pain, restricted movement and loss of strength.
Achilles tendon problems
Overload in the course of the tendon and in the attachment area of the heel.
Tennis - u. Golfer's elbows
Overload of the tendon attachment point in the area of the inner (golfer's elbow) or outer (tennis elbow) elbow.
Back pain

Trigger points in the associated muscles are often found in tendon problems. Tendon problems and muscle overload are usually the result of excessive or incorrect strain. Such problems can only be permanently eliminated by identifying and correcting the cause.
Therefore, every treatment begins with a physiotherapy examination to determine these relationships. A targeted therapy plan is then drawn up. The therapy plan includes the correct dosage and localization of the shock wave application and suitable self-exercises to support regeneration. In order to be symptom-free in the long term, it is essential to initially reduce the triggering factors and then increase your own performance. This gives the body time to recover and to renew and strengthen damaged tissue.
