SHOCK WAVE TREATMENT
Why shockwave therapy?
We at Alta Vita Fysioterapi use shock wave treatment or also called shockwave, which is an effective treatment method against a number of injuries and problems, especially in muscle and tendon structures. Shock wave is used, among other things, for the treatment of:
Heel spur (plantar fasciitis)
Hälsenebesvör (achillestendinos, achillestendinopati)
Jumping knee (patellar tendinosis, patellarapicit)
Running knee (ITB syndrome)
Tennis, golf elbow (lateral / medial epicondylalgia)
Shoulder pain (ex impingement, bicepstendinos, calcareous shoulder)
Muscle pain
This treatment method is effective, well-proven and there is good scientific documentation behind it.

​Shock wave stimulates increased blood circulation and initiates the healing process in the treated area. The shock waves also break down damaged tissue, scar tissue and calcium deposits. At the time of the new visit, a thorough examination is carried out to ensure that the shock wave is the optimal treatment for your particular problem.
Who should not undergo shockwave therapy?
Which should not be treated with a shock wave? Those who are undergoing treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs, blood-thinning medications or have recently received a cortisone injection in the problem area should wait with shock wave treatment. Even those who are pregnant, have an increased tendency to bleed or have heart problems should not undergo this treatment.
