A realistic alternative to surgery.
Shock Wave Therapy experienced its first medical application in grinding kidney stones.
The principle has been applied in various university hospitals with substantial success since 1989 to treat bone fractures that were healing badly or not at all. In 1991 the Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) was used as an alternative to surgery for the first time in the case of calcifications of the shoulder and pain-sensitivity in the bones and tendons.
Shock Waver therapy is applied in a day clinic and takes place under local anaesthetic.
The treatment can be given as a single treatment or in a programme of a few sessions. By using the Evotron the single treatment or a maximum of three sessions with an interval of a few weeks is to be given.
Depending on the symptoms, the doctor will establish the number and the strength of the shock waves. Each treatment will last 10 to 20 minutes. In the case of pseudo-arthritis, the treatment can last one hour.
The therapy as described has been successfully applied in more than 70% of the cases. Definite pain reduction will be experienced only a few days after the start of the treatment. In the case of some individuals, it can take a few weeks before the recovery starts. The therapy may be repeated in a few cases to guarantee that the treatment is successful.
Shockwave therapy through the use of HMT's Evotron s shockwave device, has gained the USA's FDA (food and drug administration) approval for treatment of tennis elbow and heel pain. There are many other studies which show the efficacy of this form of treatment.
