Every second inhabitant of the Earth, regardless of age, is diagnosed with he alth problems. According to statistics, more than 75% of people have pathologies with the musculoskeletal system. The causes of total disorders are often associated with mechanical injuries, professional activities, a sedentary lifestyle, overweight, chronic infections and senile deformities.
Over time, if medical care is not provided, the cartilage tissues of the joints, muscle fibers, bones and spinal column are destroyed. In some cases, traditional treatment is powerless. The most effective and safe procedure is wave shock therapy, which has proven itself on the positive side.
Some information
First of all, it should be explained what the methodology is. The shock wave is the most powerful energy related to the infrasonic spectrum (low frequency), which the human ear cannot catch. It is usually caused by various natural disasters and man-made factors.
Wave shock therapy helps to cure a number of diseases. It has long been used in various medical fields: cosmetology, orthopedics, urology and traumatology. The principle of its operation is based on cavitation - the emitted acoustic impulse is converted into a sound wave, which freely penetrates into the deep tissues of the body without causing harm. The treatment helps restore lipid and metabolic processes, regenerate cells and improve nutrient absorption.
The technique was first used in the 1990s in German clinics. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy has been used in orthopedics for fractures and bone injuries. At first, the generators were bulky, but over time, scientists managed to create compact models of SWT, which are now actively used in almost all hospitals, clinics and centers.
Acoustic pulses are divided into several types: electro-hydraulic, electromagnetic, piezoelectric and pneumatic. Each is effective in its own way and is used only taking into account individual physical indicators.
Spur treatment with shock wave therapy: results
A scar in the upper part of the plantar ligament causes a lot of inconvenience to the patient. Rough formations provoke inflammation of nearby tissues and severe pain. SWT is very effective in correcting this pathology. A pulsed source of sound waves is directed to the affected area, which helps to reducediscomfort, significantly improves blood flow to the tissues, helping them regenerate.
Shock wave therapy (reviews, contraindications should be known in advance) relieves swelling, soreness and stops the growth of growth. In 90% of cases, positive dynamics is observed after the second session. To completely eliminate the spur, you will need to go through seven procedures for half an hour.
Be sure to take three-day breaks between sessions. If earlier the heel spur was removed only by the method of surgical intervention, today medicine has stepped forward. SWT is the salvation for many people suffering from this ailment.
The effect of sound waves on the body
Physiotherapy is a well-studied and proven practice. Its main advantage is instant results. Usually, after the first session, a slight soreness is observed in the area of impact of the impulse, which disappears on the second day. This reaction is due to the splitting of fibrous and bone formations.
As a result, metabolic processes, joint mobility and blood supply improve. Wave shock therapy does not cause harm, does not cause complications, unlike surgery. It is effective in the fight against osteoarthritis and simple inflammation in the joints. Destroys calcium and s alt accumulations, returns motor activity to patients.
Indicated for intervertebral hernia. Treatment is aimed at eliminating the inflammatory process,reduction of trauma to the vertebral nerves and improvement of lymph flow. Elderly people who underwent course therapy noted a significant reduction in pain.
The technique is used for lordosis and curvature of the spine. Prevents the growth of formations on the discs, restores damaged tissues, restores efficiency and strength. SWT removes the stiffness of the joints of the limbs already on the second day, according to more than 95% of patients.
Shock waves against orange peel
Beauticians around the world consider UVT an effective procedure in the fight against cellulite in different parts of the body. This is a real breakthrough in medicine. The impact of acoustic impulses does not injure the epithelial tissue, does not cause pain, swelling. Rehabilitation is not required after passing the sessions. Wave shock therapy gives a lasting cosmetic effect.
Repeated procedure can be carried out after a year. It is used to reduce body fat in combination with massage and diets. Ineffective for deep and chronic stretch marks. Experts say that UVT removes dimples and spider veins, improves skin elasticity.
Who is forbidden to have a physiotherapy?
The technique has certain limitations, like any medical manipulation. It is contraindicated in varicose veins, vascular fragility, dermatological diseases (ulcers, rashes), thrombosis, liver and kidney pathologies. Not carried out during the period of bearing a child. It is dangerous to use it in diabetes mellitus andmalignant tumors.
Treatment with acoustic waves is prohibited during hormone therapy and any bleeding disorders. The procedure is not assigned to persons under 18 years of age. Sessions should be conducted by a qualified specialist who is well aware of all contraindications. Places where wave sources should not be directed are large arteries, skull, lungs, intestines.
SWT: patient testimonials
People talk positively about this treatment. There is no pain during the session, swelling of the skin. Patients report that acoustic shock waves speed up the recovery process after severe injuries. The physiotherapy method is the best alternative to surgery. No risks, side effects or dangerous complications.
What is the cost?
Everything depends on the status of the medical center, the complexity of the disease and the region of the procedure. For example, in the Moscow region for one session you will have to pay at least 1200 rubles. Shock wave therapy, the price of which, in principle, is affordable, is carried out in 5-7-day courses. This is one of the few methods that does not require special preparatory measures.
