"With Shockwave therapy the primary effects are visible right after the first treatment when considering a painful syndrome. Then the pain can get a bit worse, but after the second to fourth procedure, it usually subsides completely. Additional effects we observe are increased joint mobility, regeneration of the joint capsule and as a result improvement of the quality of life of the patient. As I’ve already mentioned, these effects can be seen in 2-4 weeks after initiating the therapy.  

In my opinion, the main advantage of the Shockwave therapy and High Intensity Laser is that they prevent surgery. The therapies are non-invasive, more comfortable, have no recovery period, which there always is after surgery. That is, that this procedure contributes to better quality of life. 

We have found a differentiation in use between the High Intensity Laser and Shockwave therapy. The Shockwave therapy is particularly suitable for the treatment of chronic conditions. As to avoiding pain medication we recommend the High Intensity Laser for cases of acute pain and acute traumatic injuries. This is my recommendation."
