What is a radial shock wave therapy?

Radial shock wave therapy is a modern, physical therapy method for the treatment of chronic pain syndromes in muscle, tendon and fascia tissue. High-energy pressure waves are applied to the painful areas using a special therapy device.

Promote these impulses:

  • the blood circulation of the tissue
  • the metabolism in the affected region
  • the self-healing power of the body
  • the reduction of limescale deposits

The treatment is carried out externally on the skin - without needles, without medication, without surgery.

I had an acute back problem and managed to get some last-minute appointments with Pascal. Although he hardly had any free slots at first, he even gave up his lunch break to help me. I really appreciated that. He was able to help me a lot, and thanks to the exercises, my back has been significantly better ever since. Highly recommended.

I have been to see many physiotherapists about my jaw and the only one that truly helped and who I trust is Thomas Reupke

Häufig gestellte Fragen zur Stosswellentherapie

Die radiale Stosswellentherapie ist ein modernes Verfahren, bei dem energiereiche Schallwellen auf schmerzhafte Bereiche des Bewegungsapparates übertragen werden. In unserer Praxis in Basel nutzen wir diese Methode, um die Durchblutung zu steigern, den Zellstoffwechsel anzuregen und die körpereigenen Selbstheilungskräfte zu aktivieren. Kalkablagerungen können zertrümmert und chronische Entzündungen effektiv gelindert werden.

Wir setzen die Stosswellentherapie bei PhysioArt Basel besonders erfolgreich bei folgenden Beschwerden ein:

 

  • Fersensporn (Plantarfasziitis)
  • Kalkschulter (Tendinosis calcarea)
  • Tennisarm oder Golferellenbogen (Epicondylitis)
  • Achillessehnenbeschwerden (Achillodynie)
  • Patellaspitzensyndrom (Jumper’s Knee)
  • Chronische Triggerpunkte und Muskelverspannungen

Die Dauer der Therapie ist individuell. Meist zeigt sich bereits nach der ersten Sitzung eine Besserung. Für einen nachhaltigen Erfolg sind in der Regel 3 bis 5 Sitzungen im Abstand von jeweils einer Woche erforderlich. Das macht die Stosswellentherapie zu einer sehr zeiteffizienten Behandlungsmethode.

Während der Behandlung werden die Stosswellen als klopfende oder pulsierende Impulse wahrgenommen. Dies kann kurzzeitig unangenehm sein, ist aber meist gut auszuhalten. Unsere erfahrenen Therapeuten passen die Intensität während der Sitzung kontinuierlich an Ihr Empfinden an, um ein optimales Ergebnis ohne unnötige Schmerzen zu erzielen.

In der Schweiz wird die radiale Stosswellentherapie oft über die Zusatzversicherung für Komplementärmedizin oder Prävention abgerechnet. Unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen und bei ärztlicher Verordnung ist auch eine Abrechnung im Rahmen der Physiotherapie über die Grundversicherung (KVG) oder Unfallversicherung (UVG) möglich. Wir beraten Sie gerne zu den Abrechnungsmodalitäten in unserer Praxis.

Die Stosswellentherapie ist eine nicht-invasive Alternative zum chirurgischen Eingriff. Es gibt keine Operationsrisiken, keine Narbenbildung und keine langen Ausfallzeiten. Patienten können direkt nach der Behandlung ihrem Alltag nachgehen, was sie besonders für Sportler und Berufstätige in Basel attraktiv macht.
