Doctor of Rehabilitation Morta Mažeikaitė's service: shock wave therapy (20 min)

Shock Wave Therapy

Shock wave therapy is a modern, scientifically based treatment method aimed at treating chronic muscle, tendon, and soft tissue problems. During the procedure, high-energy acoustic waves are transmitted into the tissues, promoting blood circulation, tissue regeneration, and reducing pain.

At Santaros, we perform this service using the top-class medical device "Gymna ShockMaster 500" (Belgium) - one of the most reliable and technologically advanced shock wave devices on the market.

Why "Gymna 500"?

Our device belongs to the professional clinical class and is substantially different from many "compact" or economical models used on the market. "Gymna" is one of the oldest and most authoritative rehabilitation equipment manufacturers in Europe, working only with solutions intended for medical professionals. The device operates with a silent oil compressor system (trolley type) - without vibrations, without noise, ensuring maximum comfort for the patient and doctor. The device allows working up to ~5 bar pressure, with a wide frequency range, thus effectively reaching deeper tissues, treating more complex or long-lasting disorders. Various attachments are used, adapted to different body areas - from surface muscles to deep tendon structures.

Procedure Performed by Doctors

Unlike many clinics where shock wave procedures are performed only by physiotherapists, at Santaros, this service is provided by doctors with clinical experience and working according to an individual treatment plan.

This means:

• more accurate indication selection,
• lower risk of incorrect treatment,
• higher procedure effectiveness,
• fewer required sessions.

Who is Shock Wave Therapy Applied to?

The procedure is suitable for:

• chronic tendon problems (e.g., Achilles, patellar),
• calcifications (calcified shoulder),
• "tennis" or "golfer's" elbow,
• trigger points,
• muscle tension,
• fascia,
• post-sport injuries,
• long-lasting pain without a clear reason.

What Makes a High-Class Device Different Practically?

Using a professional, scientifically validated device:

• achieves faster results,
• reduces the number of procedures,
• reduces the risk of causing pain or discomfort,
• treatment becomes predictable and manageable, not based on "trial and error".

Result

Shock wave therapy is not just a procedure, but a doctor-controlled treatment process, based on:

• top-class technology,
• individual clinical evaluation,
• standardized treatment protocols,
• and a real goal – faster return to movement without pain.
