What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a modern and highly effective treatment option in orthopaedic and rehabilitation medicine. The term shockwave refers to mechanical pressure pulses that expand as a wave in the body. In modern pain therapy, shockwave energy is conducted from the point of origin - the shockwave generator - to the painful body regions, where it applies its healing capacities.
The first medical treatment with shockwaves was lithotripsy. This allowed focused shockwaves to essentially dissolve kidney stones without surgical intervention. Today, over 98% of all kidney stones are treated with this technology. The use of shockwaves to treat tendon related pain began in the early 1990s.

Behandlingen funkar bra för en del, i hälsenor (lite beroende på VAR tendinosen sitter) och även andra senor, har jag för mig... Men det är dyrt och inte alltid lätt att få tag på en bra behandlare som använder metoden
Har ingen aning om ifall det används på diffusa höftproblem/smärtor, eller vad prognosen är vid behandling av höftsmärtor...
