Chronic Pain

If you have sustained an injury to a tendon, elbow, or hamstring, shockwave therapy may be recommended by your physician. It is understandable to be hesitant or skeptical about this novel technology, particularly if you are unsure of what to expect or if you question its value. Many patients with chronic pain have often seen various doctors and tried numerous therapies before finding relief, which can lead to doubt and skepticism. We recognize these concerns and wish to assure you that this method represents a sophisticated, modern approach to pain management. Premier Shockwave's Spark Wave/SoftWave therapy has proven successful in treating musculoskeletal conditions.

Musculoskeletal pain can greatly impede a patient's mobility and participation in daily activities. TRT/Spark Wave Therapy provides an innovative and effective alternative to medicinal and surgical interventions for a broad spectrum of orthopedic issues.

As a non-invasive procedure, Premier Shockwave's Spark Wave Therapy is recognized as safe, well-tolerated, and effective.

Premier Shockwave's Spark Wave/SoftWave Therapy functions in orthopaedics by reactivating the dormant healing process during sub-acute and chronic stages, and by initiating a swift and effective healing phase in acute stages. It stimulates the tissue's inherent healing abilities and triggers the following cellular-level biological reactions:

• Activating the release of growth factors
• Inducing stem cell proliferation and migration
• Enhancing cell metabolism
• Stimulating angiogenesis and vasculogenesis
• Modulating inflammatory processes
• Promoting tissue remodelling and regeneration

Collectively, these elements enhance the body's natural regenerative and repair mechanisms, foster the growth of new, healthy tissue, and lead to better symptom relief throughout the healing process.

Which orthopaedic indications is Premier Shockwave’s Spark Wave/SoftWave Therapy qualified for?  

Tendinopathies:  

• Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
• Rotator Cuff (Calcifying) Tendinitis
• Elbow Epicondylitis Humeri Radialis / Ulnaris
• Gluteal / Trochanteric Tendinopathy
• Quadriceps / Hamstring Tendinopathy
• Patellar Tendinopathy
• Achillodynia
• Plantar Fasciitis / Heel Spur
• Stress Fractures  

The treatment typically takes place on an outpatient basis and does not require anesthesia. The area for treatment is identified either by palpation or X-ray, based on the diagnosis. Before starting the therapy, ultrasound gel is applied to the area. Then, the therapy head is passed over the targeted region, emitting Spark Wave pulses. The number and strength of these pulses are adjusted according to the specific medical indication.

Premier Shockwave’s Spark Wave/SoftWave Therapy is a non-invasive, safe, and effective therapy system for regenerative medicine that can:  

• Relief pain.
• Improve blood circulation and tissue supply.
• Anti-inflammatory action.
• Prevent disease progression or loss of function.
• Restore function and mobility in musculoskeletal disorders, and most importantly
• Improve patient´s quality of life.
