The sound waves also cause the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis and vasculogenesis), which improves circulation and stimulates the body\u2019s self-healing mechanisms, making it possible for damaged or degenerated tissue to regenerate and heal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also thought that shock wave therapy can cause stem cells to migrate and \u201ccome home\u201d. In the case of calcium deposits, such as calcific tendonitis of the shoulder, it is possible to directly shatter the deposit. This causes it to break down into small parts that are easily metabolized by the body. ESWT also has a direct impact on pain transmission: first, the cell walls of the pain receptors are affected, causing them to transmit fewer negative impulses. Secondly, ESWT causes sensory overload in affected tissues and nerves, reducing their ability to transmit pain. In particular, chronic pain can be alleviated in the long term using this method. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using ESWT, extremely rapid and sustainable improvements can be achieved without radiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Ideal applications for ESWT: <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>All types of tendon inflammation <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All types of tendonitis (non-inflammatory painful degeneration of the tendons), i.e., the Achilles tendon <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tennis elbow \/ golf elbow <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trochanteric pain syndrome (hip) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tendinitis calcarea (calcification in the tendon anchor area of the shoulder) and frozen shoulder <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plantar fasciitis \/ heel spurs <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fascia therapy <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Old cicatrized muscle injuries <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fresh muscle injuries (low intensity and focused) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skeletal muscle pain <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patellar tip syndrome and Morbus Schlatter disease (MOB) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>OCD in adults (degeneration of the cartilage bone area, usually in the knee or ankle joint) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pseudarthrosis of the small bones (=Non-union of fractures)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stress Fracture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shin splints <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>M.

Es werden auch m\u00f6gliche  Komplikationen, wie oberfl\u00e4chliche Bluterg\u00fcsse oder Schwellungen etc.  besprochen. Eine Einwilligungserkl\u00e4rung sollte unterschrieben werden.  Meistens sind dann vier (in seltenen F\u00e4llen bis zu sechs) Behandlungen  mit der Sto\u00dfwelle erforderlich. Dabei wird ein spezielles Hautgel  aufgetragen, damit die Sto\u00dfwellen ohne Energieverlust in den K\u00f6rper  eindringen und an der Problemstelle ihre Wirkung entfalten k\u00f6nnen. Die  Behandlung selbst dauert jeweils f\u00fcnf bis zehn Minuten, wobei der Arzt  w\u00e4hrend der Behandlung erkl\u00e4rt, was er gerade macht. Die ESWT hat bei  korrekter Indikationsstellung eine sehr hohe Erfolgswahrscheinlichkeit \u2013  aber nat\u00fcrlich kann ein Therapieerfolg nie mit 100% garantiert werden  und h\u00e4ngt auch ab von der Massivit\u00e4t und der Dauer der Beschwerden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sportambulatorium.wien\/en\/patientenservice\/#service-toggle-kosten\"> Fee schedule &gt;&gt;<\/a>
