Shock Wave Therapy

Shock wave therapy (rázová vlna) at Infinity Clinic is delivered using two dedicated 2024-vintage German devices that cover both focused extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and radial pressure wave therapy — a dual-modality capability that distinguishes this clinic from typical single-device practices. The physical principle behind both technologies is the generation and transmission of acoustic pressure waves into biological tissue. These waves…

During a session, the therapist applies a coupling gel to the treatment area and positions the applicator head against the skin. Focused shock waves are directed precisely at deep-seated lesions such as calcified tendons, bone stress areas, or enthesopathies (tissue attachment points). Radial waves, which disperse across a broader area, are more appropriate for superficial trigger points, plantar fascia, and large muscle groups. The therapist adjusts…

Conditions commonly addressed include: plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, calcific rotator cuff tendinitis, lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow), patellar tendinopathy, and myofascial pain syndromes. The treatment is also used as an adjunct to physiotherapy for chronic musculoskeletal disorders and post-surgical rehabilitation.
