Shockwave is a therapy that uses the action of acoustic waves able to generate a mechanical force with a dual action: it stimulates the processes of tissue repair and creates a beneficial anti-inflammatory and painkiller. 

This therapy is mainly recommended in patients with soft tissue pathologies, such as tendon and muscle dysfunction. It is applied, however, also in traumatology in cases of delayed consolidation of fractures, in order to prevent surgical interventions, or to stimulate the healing of superficial skin wounds with reparative difficulties.

Shockwave therapy can be performed only on prescription and after diagnostic examination (Rx, Rm, Ultrasound).
