Shock wave therapy is a non-invasive treatment method based on the use of sound, so-called "shock" waves. Such waves have a low frequency and are able to penetrate into the tissues of the body, affecting the points where the disease is localized.
Many patients worry, is shock wave therapy harmful? Absolutely not. Moreover, according to world statistics, more than 90% of patients who underwent SWT show positive dynamics:
- the pain resulting from the injury disappears;
- accelerates the healing of damaged tissues;
- the processes of blood renewal are improved.
