Important COVID-19 Message:
Due to the current situation we have instituted important changes to our clinic to increase safety of our patients & staff:
- We have the option of selected few Private Visits which allows the patient to be alone in the whole clinic with the doctor & his assistant. No other patients would be scheduled at the same time. (Please inquire specifically for this option)
- We offer telemedicine & virtual visits for consultations. We also offer same day consultation and procedure.

What are Shockwaves?
Everywhere in everyday life we encounter shock waves. The sonic boom of an airplane as well as a Sylvesterknaller. From a physical point of view shockwaves are nothing more than very short sound pulses of very high energy. Their use in medicine is not new. Already since the beginning of the 80s, urology has used shockwaves to break kidney stones with great success.
At the end of the 80s first experiences in the orthopedic field were collected. It was found that non-healing fractures could be cured faster by shock wave treatment. The shock waves stimulated the bone-forming cells; For the first time, the bony constructions of fractures without surgery could be decisively promoted.
Since the shock waves act on the outside of the body, the therapy with shock waves since then as “extracorporeal shockwave therapy” (short: ESWT) referred.
What are Shockwaves
A new Advanced Technology widely accepted and proven in Europe for many years is now available in America.
New Blood Vessel Formation*
Blood flow is necessary to start and maintain the repair processes of damaged tissue structure. The application of acoustic waves creates capillary microruptures in tendon and bone. Due to microruptures the expression of growth factors such as eNOS, VEGF, PCNS and BMP is significantly increased.
As a result of these processes arterioles are remodeled, stimulated to grow and new ones are formed. The new blood vessels improve blood supply and oxygenation of the treated area and support faster healing of both the tendon and the bone.
Dissolution of Calcified Fibroblasts*
Calcium build-up is most often a result of micro-tears or other trauma to a tendon. Acoustic waves break up the existing calcifications. Shockwave therapy starts the biochemical decalcification of the calcium build-up of a toothpaste-like consistency and treats the tendon. The granular particles of calcium are then removed by the lymphatic system
Reversal of Chronic Inflammation*
Chronic inflammation can damage healthy tissue and results in chronic pain. Mast cells are one of the key components of the inflammatory process. Their activity may be increased by using pervasive acoustic waves.
Mast cell activation is followed by the production of chemokines and cytokines. These pro-inflammatory compounds first enhance the inflammatory process and in the next step help restore normal healing and regenerative processes.
Dispersion of Pain Mediator
“Substance P”
Substance P is a neurotransmitter that mediates pain information through C-fibers. This neuropeptide is generally associated with intense, persistent and chronic pain. It relays pain messages to the central nervous system. Lowering the concentration of Substance P reduces the stimulation of afferent nociceptive fibers and thus reduces the pain. Decreasing Substance P, histamines and other nociceptive metabolites also helps inhibit development of inflammatory oedema. Acoustic waves generated by Shockwave therapy lower the Substance P concentration and trigger pain relief.
Stimulation of Collagen Production*
The production of a sufficient amount of collagen is a necessary precondition for the repair processes of the damaged myoskeletal and ligamentous structures. Shockwave therapy accelerates procollagen synthesis. The therapy forces the newly created collagen fibers into a longitudinal structure which makes the newly formed tendon fibers more dense and stiff and creates a firmer structure.
Shock Wave Therapy: Cost & Side Effects
Most important to the patient, shockwave therapy provides him with a virtually risk-free, painless, and successful therapy for treating common orthopedic conditions.
In rare cases, local bruising or short-term exacerbation of pain has been reported, but other complications have not been previously reported.
