ESW (Extracorporeal Shock Wave therapy)
We carry out extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESW), which is an effective natural method for dealing with certain painful conditions. ESW treatment can in some cases (shoulder) replace surgery or arthroscopy.
The apparatus acts on the same principle as that used for breaking down kidney stones.

Are you suffering from the following symptoms?
- Shoulder pain with restricted mobility
- Chronic elbow pain (tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow)
- Exertional patella pain (patellar tendinopathy)
- Chronic Achilles tendon pain (achillodynia)
- Heel pain (calcaneal spur)
- Chronic neck, shoulder or back pain and tension (trigger points)
- Other forms of insertion tendonitis

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy
has done the trick. |
As evidenced by various scientific studies, many patients have been relieved of their chronic pain as a result of extracorporeal shock wave therapy.
Proven shock wave efficacy
Shock waves rather than injections or surgery – rediscover painless mobility!
Are you among the many patients who are suffering from chronic pain and have tried everything possible to get rid of it? Injections, medication, physiotherapy, relaxation methods, and so forth. And hasn’t your pain always returned after a short while, often worse than ever before.
Chronic pain is often caused by inflammations or calcifications of tendons or soft tissue located close to muscles or by tensed-up muscles, muscular nodosity (trigger points) or inappropriate loading.
A necessity rather than luxury:
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is considered one of the most innovative developments in recent pain therapy.
Contrary to conventional treatment methods, ESWT allows the causes of pain to be eliminated directly at the point of origin without any medication or surgery. Successful results are achieved after a few treatment sessions.
How does ESWT actually work?
| First of all, the doctor localizes the pain region by palpation and following the patient‘s indications of pain. After the source of pain and the pain region have been identified, the area of pain is subjected to short pulsed shock waves. |
Shoulder treatment |
| These high-energy acoustic pulses improve the metabolism in the pain region, increase blood circulation and thus effectively stimulate the body‘s intrinsic repair mechanisms. In other words, ESWT is all about activating the body‘s self-healing abilities. |

Benefits of extracorporeal shock wave therapy
- Outpatient therapy without medication or surgery
- Minimum expenditure of time (5 to 10 minutes per session)
- Excellent therapy success after only 2 to 4 treatment sessions
- Treating causes instead of symptoms
- Pain relief and recovery of full mobility after a few days in case of favourable therapy progress
- Minimum side effects (reddening, minor swelling)
- Patients can usually get back to sports and resume work after a few days without any pain
ESWT available on a private basis
