Service of Rehabilitation Doctor Goda Bernotė: Shockwave Therapy, performed by a rehabilitation doctor (20 min)

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave 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 to the tissues, which stimulate blood circulation, tissue regeneration, and reduce pain.

In Santara, we perform this service using the highest class medical device "Gymna ShockMaster 500" (Belgium) - one of the most reliable and technologically advanced shockwave devices on the market.

Why "Gymna 500"?

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

Procedure performed by doctors

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

This means:

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

Who is shockwave therapy for?

The procedure is suitable for:

• chronic tendon problems (e.g., Achilles, patellar),
• calcifications (calcifying shoulder),
• "tennis" or "golfer's" elbow,
• trigger points,
• muscle tensions,
• fasciae,
• after sports injuries,
• long-lasting pain without a clear cause.

How does a high-class device differ practically?

Using a professional, scientifically validated device:

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

Result

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

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