What is shockwave therapy and how does it work?

The human body is an amazing biological machine. Think about it for a moment: when you cut your finger while cooking, your internal systems kick in automatically. They close the blood vessels, build new skin tissue and fully repair the area. This laboratory works inside us 24/7 and protects us from damage.

But this raises the question that everyone in pain asks: if the body is so smart, why does this system suddenly “get stuck” when it comes to a stubborn heel spur, an inflamed tendon or another chronic pain? Why does the inflammation stay for months, despite rest, painkillers and attempts at treatment?

The answer is that sometimes the natural healing mechanism simply needs an external “starter” to get it going again. This is exactly where shockwave technology comes in:

✔ Targeting and delivering energy: the device sends powerful acoustic pulses (sound waves) that deliver deep energy straight to the root of the problem, not only to the symptom.
✔ Restarting the healing mechanism: the body reads the shockwaves as a “new, controlled injury” and reawakens its natural healing process in an area stuck in chronic inflammation.
✔ Faster recovery: at Q-room we draw on the biomechanical experience gained over 90 years of activity to make sure this energy turns into increased blood flow, oxygen and regenerating tissue, for a fast and precise recovery.

Important information about the treatment protocol:
The cost of shockwave therapy depends on the number of sessions needed and on your personal medical condition. For this reason, we recommend starting with a professional assessment so we can build an accurate treatment plan for you.

How shockwave therapy reduces pain and speeds up recovery

Shockwave therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment for a range of orthopaedic conditions, such as tendon inflammation, chronic pain, calcifications, heel spurs and sports injuries. Using high-intensity sound waves, the treatment encourages the body’s natural healing processes and may help reduce pain and improve function.

At Q-room every patient starts with a professional assessment. Only after the assessment do we build a personal treatment plan, based on the medical condition, the treatment goals and the patient’s stage of recovery.

Who may benefit from shockwave therapy?

  • Patients with chronic pain that did not improve after conservative treatment

  • Tendon inflammation, calcifications and recurring overuse injuries.

  • Heel spur pain, Achilles tendon, shoulder, elbow, knee and other orthopaedic conditions.

  • Patients looking for an alternative to invasive treatments, as recommended by a professional.
At Q-room we combine a professional assessment, clinical experience and Focused Shockwave technology to match each patient with the right treatment plan. Our goal is not only to reduce pain, but also to improve function and allow a return to daily life as safely as possible.

The big advantage here is that the treatment does not “silence” the pain temporarily like a pill or an injection. It restarts the body’s natural healing mechanisms and tells it: “stop waiting, start building healthy tissue”. This is a deep process with long-term results, with no downtime and no significant side effects.

  • Breaking down calcifications and adhesions: the shockwaves break up the small “lumps” that form around tendons, restrict movement and cause sharp pain. The body then absorbs and clears these deposits naturally.
  • Encouraging new blood vessels: the waves stimulate the growth (neovascularisation) of new capillaries and blood vessels at the pain site, restoring the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the tissue.
  • Stimulating cell regeneration (collagen): the treatment encourages the body to produce new collagen, the main protein that rebuilds and strengthens damaged tendons and ligaments instead of weak scar tissue.

The result: the treatment does not just “silence” the pain temporarily like a pill or an injection. It makes the body rebuild itself in a healthy, strong way for the long term, with no downtime and no significant side effects.

This action triggers three important responses that speed up recovery:

Unlike regular therapeutic ultrasound devices, focused shockwaves (Focus Shockwave) are very high-energy sound pulses, delivered at a fast rate and penetrating precisely deep into the inflamed tissue.

Understanding the wave: what happens inside the tissue during treatment?

How is the treatment done at Q-room, and what will you feel?

01

Personal assessment and a tailored treatment plan

Before we start, the therapist carries out a thorough professional assessment to understand the source of the pain and what caused it. Based on the findings and the type of problem, a personal treatment plan is built for you. Where needed, shockwave therapy is included as part of the rehabilitation process.

02

The treatment

After the assessment, treatment begins according to the plan built for you. Where needed, shockwave therapy is added, and the way it is delivered is adapted to your condition and goals.
Progress is monitored throughout, and the treatment plan is adjusted as needed according to your response and improvement.

03

Follow-up and next steps

At the end of each session you will get instructions for the following days, based on your condition and treatment plan. In many cases a series of sessions is needed, depending on the type of problem, how long it has existed and your personal response to treatment.
Progress is monitored throughout, and the treatment plan is updated according to your rate of recovery.

Injuries and chronic pain that shockwave therapy treats:

Shockwave therapy may help reduce pain and improve function in suitable cases of heel spur and plantar fasciitis.

A much shorter recovery time and restored flexibility for the thickest tendon in the body.

Shoulder calcifications
(Supraspinatus)

Breaks down the calcium deposits that limit lifting the arm and frees up the range of motion.

Targeted treatment of the muscle attachment points at the elbow for fast pain relief

Reduces swelling in the tendon sheath and restores smooth finger movement without catching

Stimulates bone cells (osteoblasts) to build a new bone bridge in complex cases

We don’t just run a machine – we manage a clinical process:

The market is full of shockwave devices, but the real difference lies in the hands holding the device. At Q-room, treatment is based on in-depth knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics. We know how to locate calcifications to the millimetre and make sure the load is managed correctly.

Precise focused technology (Focus Shockwave):

Unlike devices with a wide head that spread the energy in every direction, our device has a small, precise treatment head. It concentrates the full power of the wave exactly on the damaged spot, ensuring maximum effectiveness with minimal impact on the surrounding tissue.

Why Q-room's precision is your winning advantage

Beating pain starts here

The latest research shows that shockwave therapy is not only cheaper and easier than surgery, it is simply more effective in the long term for most chronic conditions. Shockwave therapy helps relieve chronic pain, and it is not limited to one area of the body. The beauty of shockwave therapy is that while the device stays the same, its settings are completely personal. Shockwave therapy for the knee is not fundamentally different from shockwave therapy for the shoulder in terms of the physical mechanism, but the precise positioning and the calibration of intensity change according to the tissue and the depth of the injury.
The secret lies in combining consistent physical power with personal adjustment and anatomical precision.
Whether it is shockwave therapy for the knee, for the shoulder or targeted shockwave therapy for the heel, the scientific mechanism stays powerful, while the depth of penetration, the pulse intensity and the exact position change completely according to the type of tissue and the nature of the injury.
At Q-room, this versatility lets us offer a shockwave solution for chronic pain that is tailored precisely to you, with controlled penetration through the layers of tissue straight to the source of the problem.

So instead of taking another pill that only masks the problem, or booking surgery that needs months of recovery, shockwave therapy at Q-room gives you a way to rebuild your body. Shockwave therapy saves you a lot: the pain of surgery, rehabilitation time and money.
The reason shockwave therapy at Q-room succeeds in many cases where others have failed is the combination with Avidor’s knowledge. Instead of being “chronic patients” moving from doctor to doctor, come to Q-room for a technological solution that really works. We don’t promise magic. We promise thorough clinical work, first-class technology and a team that truly cares about your movement.

Shockwave therapy: questions and answers

The treatment is ideal for people with chronic musculoskeletal pain that did not respond to conservative treatment. It is especially effective for heel spurs, Achilles tendon inflammation, shoulder calcifications, tennis elbow and knee inflammation. If you are considering surgery because of ongoing pain, this is the recommended technological solution for you.

The treatment feels like rhythmic tapping on the affected area. Because we treat the inflamed spot directly, you may feel some discomfort or a “releasing pain”. At Q-room the therapist controls the device’s intensity in real time and adjusts it to your personal pain threshold, so the treatment is effective but completely bearable.

The average treatment protocol is 5 to 10 sessions, once a week. While some patients feel initial relief after the first session, the deep biological change and the building of new tissue usually happen around the third or fourth session. It is important to complete the full series for the best result.

The medical statistics are very impressive: for heel spurs the success rate is around 85%, and for shoulder inflammation and calcifications around 80%. It is a highly effective method backed by hundreds of clinical studies, allowing many patients to return to full function and avoid surgery or injections.

Shockwave therapy is considered very safe, with no significant side effects. After a session you may feel local sensitivity, redness or mild swelling in the treated area, but these pass quickly. Unlike injections or surgery, there is no downtime and you can return to your routine right after the session.

At Q-room, beating pain is based on the precise meeting of clinical expertise and cutting-edge technology. Our treatment starts by identifying the biomechanical source of the pain. Combining the team’s deep anatomical knowledge with advanced equipment lets us calibrate the intensity and depth of treatment individually and target the exact source of the problem.

Shockwaves are especially effective for chronic conditions, but they can also be used in acute cases to speed up recovery. The treatment encourages increased blood flow and collagen production, helping athletes return to activity faster and more safely while strengthening the damaged tissue.

A heel spur is actually chronic inflammation of the connective tissue in the heel, sometimes with painful calcification. Shockwave therapy at Q-room penetrates deep into the damaged tissue, breaks up the calcium deposits and encourages increased blood flow to repair the inflammation. With a success rate of around 85%, it is the most effective and fastest way back to walking freely without the painful morning pain.

When inflammation becomes chronic, the body sometimes “gives up” and stops the healing process. Shockwave therapy at Q-room creates a “positive shock” in the inflamed tissue that reawakens the immune system and stimulates the building of new collagen fibres. Combining the power of the equipment with our therapists’ anatomical precision turns stubborn inflammation into a process of healing and rebuilding.
