Shockwave therapy
Orthospec - unique shock wave therapy system
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy ESWT
An electrode generates a high voltage spark in an elliptical reflector filled with water. The resulting acoustic pressure wave reflects and forms the patented therapy zone, which creates a mechanical effect inside the tissue.
Orthospec is a revolution in orthopedic and rheumatologic therapy. For the first time, doctors can use a system that eliminates the need for X-ray or ultrasound localization. Patients are not exposed to radiation. The effective energy is distributed over a large zone, allowing painless treatment without anesthesia.
Impressive advantages
- New development with patented, wide treatment zone
- No X-ray or ultrasound localization necessary
- No anesthesia necessary
- Shorter treatment time
- Simple handling
- Tested for the following indications
- Calcifications in tendons ("calcified shoulder")
- Calcifications in bursae (bursitis)
- Tendon attachment inflammation
- Delayed fracture healing
- Areas of application
- Orthopedics
- Sports medicine
- Rheumatology
- Rehabilitation
- Physical medicine
- Traumatology
Effect of shock wave therapy
Effect hypotheses
- Destruction of cell membranes
- There is no longer a so-called generator potential between the inside of the cell and the outside. This means that pain signals can no longer be sent.
- Stimulation of the nociceptors
- This causes flooding and blockage of nerve conductions to the central nervous system (spinal cord and brain).
- Formation of free radicals
- and thus change the chemical milieu in the environment. In this way, increased pain-inhibiting substances are produced.
- Change in the regulatory circuit controlling muscle and vascular tone.
- The resulting change in reflex pattern leads to normalization of movement sequences.
