Shockwave
therapy

When one spot has hurt for months — the heel, the elbow, a tendon.

Wavefronts: a mechanical pulse into the tendon attachment

/ Method

What it is

What it is

High-energy acoustic waves delivered through a handpiece precisely into the problem spot.

A detail worth knowing

A chronic tendon stops healing — the body seems to have “forgotten” about it. The shockwave gives a mechanical stimulus that restarts the repair process in the tissue.

What it feels like

We apply gel and the device delivers pulses — from a tapping sensation to noticeable discomfort exactly in the painful spot.

No pain

That is normal: we are looking for that exact spot. We adjust the intensity during the session, guided by you.

/ An important difference

Focused,
not radial

In price lists it is one word — “shockwave”. In reality these are two different technologies, and which one stands in the room decides whether the pulse reaches where it hurts.

Ours

A focused wave

The energy converges at a point at a set depth and arrives there at full strength. That is why focused waves are used for deep tendinopathies, calcifications in the shoulder and delayed bone healing.

The device costs several times more than a radial one — which is why it is far from every clinic in the city.

Most common in the city

A radial wave

Most of the energy stays on the surface and then disperses inward. For superficial trigger points and muscle spasm that is enough.

But it simply does not reach a deep tendon or a calcification — and the course goes by with no result.

Radial is not “bad” — it is about something else. But if it hurts deep and for months, the difference is decisive, and it is worth asking about at any center you go to.

How a session
goes

  • We apply gel and the device delivers pulses — from a tapping sensation to noticeable discomfort exactly in the painful spot.
  • That is normal: we are looking for that exact spot. We adjust the intensity during the session, guided by you.
  • we set the intensity together — if it is unpleasant, we lower it
  • right after the session you can work with your body

/ How long

How long
it takes

Shockwave is not about one visit and not about daily procedures. The tissue needs time between pulses.

5–10 minutes

The session itself

Short but noticeable: we work exactly in the spot that hurts.

The price is per pulse

How much it costs

You pay not for time but for the number of pulses: 1,000 — UAH 1,000, 2,000 — UAH 2,000, 3,000 — UAH 3,000. How many your area needs the therapist will say on the spot — a large tendon takes more, a point on the heel takes less.

The day after

A possible reaction

The area sometimes responds during the day — that is an expected tissue response to the stimulus, not a complication.

Once every 3–5 days

The interval between sessions

The tissue has to have time to respond to the pulse. The minimum is once a week; more often than every three days makes no sense.

From 5 sessions

The full course

A chronic tendon does not change in one visit. We do not call fewer than five procedures a course; we determine the exact number after the examination and revise it as we go.

/ When we prescribe it

When shockwave makes sense

  • heel spur and plantar fasciitis
  • tennis elbow and golfer elbow
  • Achilles tendinopathy
  • shoulder pain, including with calcifications
  • chronic trigger points that do not respond to massage
  • pain that stays in one and the same spot for months

The key word is chronic. A fresh injury is not treated with shockwave. When it does not suit If the pain appeared days ago and there is swelling, this is the acute phase. Other methods work here, and shockwave would only do harm.

/ Contraindications

When shockwave is not used

  • an acute injury, fresh swelling, inflammation
  • clotting disorders, taking anticoagulants
  • cancer in the treatment area
  • pregnancy
  • the area over large vessels, nerve trunks, the lungs
  • growth plates in children and teenagers
  • a pacemaker — only by agreement with a doctor
  • The final decision is up to the physical therapist. At the assessment we ask about everything that could be a contraindication.

Tell us about it at the assessment. It changes the choice of method — we will pick another one that works in your case.

“We did 5 shockwave therapy procedures, a few sessions, they showed me the exercises — and in a month I was fully back to playing volleyball, and even better than before the injury.”

/ Questions and answers

Frequent questions

Does it hurt?+
In the painful spot — noticeably. But you are in charge: say “enough” and we lower it. After the session there may be a light echo over the next day, which is expected.
How many sessions are needed?+
A course is from five procedures, with an interval of once every 3–5 days. This is a benchmark, not a rule: some people need more, and it depends on how long the condition has lasted, how deep the tissue lies and how it responds to the first sessions. We name the exact number after the examination and revise it as we go.
Can I train between sessions?+
Yes, and that matters — the wave alone does not remove the cause. But in the first days after a session we dose the load on that area.
How is your shockwave different from others?+
We have a focused wave, not a radial one. Focused waves converge the energy at the needed depth and reach a deep tendon; radial ones deliver most of their energy at the surface. The devices cost differently, which is exactly why radial ones are more common in the city.
Why not right after an injury?+
Because in the acute phase the tissue is already inflamed. An extra mechanical stimulus is unnecessary here.
