Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) | Innovative treatment method

Chronic pain

Do you suffer from acute or chronic pain in your muscles, tendon insertions, shoulders or heels, or do you have headaches or back pain that has been present for years, as a result of which your natural movements and quality of life are significantly restricted?

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a modern, highly effective treatment method in pain therapy. Focused high-energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy is used primarily to treat chronic overuse injuries such as tennis or golf elbow, calcific tendonitis of the shoulder, or heel spurs. It is now also used to treat postural disorders, myofascial syndrome and dysfunctional movement patterns with trigger points, as well as to eliminate cellulite.

Therapy with ballistic (radial) shock waves is not only possible for chronic manifestations, but also for acute complaints. Radial shock wave therapy is particularly effective for acute sports injuries involving muscle and tendon strains.

We have a state-of-the-art shock wave machine and many years of experience in this field. Dr. Surminski is a member of DIGEST (the German-speaking International Society for Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy).

Which conditions can be treated?

• Calf tendonitis – pain in the calf tendon with restriction of mobility
• Tennis or golf elbow – chronic elbow pain
• Patella tip syndrome (“jumper's knee”) – pain on weight-bearing at the kneecap
• Tibial crest syndrome – pain in the shinbone due to periostitis
• Achillodynia – chronic pain along the Achilles tendon
• Heel spur – usually chronic, painful inflammation under the heel bone, often with local calcium deposits
• Trigger point treatment – muscular chronic tension and pain in the shoulder, neck and back, as well as chronic headaches
• Knee arthrosis
