Extracorporeal shock wave therapy | ESWT

Do you suffer from acute or chronic pain in muscles, tendon attachments, the shoulder or heel? Do you have a long history of headaches or chronic back pain that considerably restricts movements and the quality of your life?

ESWT is a modern, highly effective method of pain management. In particular, chronic stress damage to tennis or golf elbow, as well as shoulder calcification and heel spur can be treated with focused high-energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy.  New is the possibility of treating posture disorders, myofascial syndrome and disturbed movement patterns with trigger points, as well as removing cellulites.

Treatment with ballistic (radial) shock waves is not only possible for chronic symptoms but also for acute complaints. It is particularly effective in the treatment of acute sports injuries involving muscles and tendon strains.

We operate a modern shock wave device and have many years of experience in the field. Dr. Surminski is member of a German speaking international society for extracorporeal shock wave therapy (DIGEST).
