goals and benefits
What shockwave therapy is and how it works
Shockwaves are high-energy sound impulses transmitted to body tissues to stimulate regeneration and cellular healing. There are two main types:
- Radial shockwaves: suitable for superficial and widespread conditions.
- Focused shockwaves: deeper and more concentrated, ideal for localized lesions.
Therapeutic effects include:
- increased microcirculation;
- stimulation of collagen production;
- reduction of inflammation;
- elimination of tendon calcifications.
Applications and conditions treated
When shockwave therapy is recommended
Shockwave therapy is recommended in physiotherapy for numerous chronic conditions, including:
- Chronic tendinopathies (shoulder tendinitis, Achilles tendon, tennis elbow);
- Plantar fasciitis and heel spur;
- Trochanteric bursitis;
- Iliotibial band syndrome;
- Epicondylitis and epitrochleitis;
- Musculoskeletal calcifications;
- Vascular erectile dysfunction (in andrology);
- Delayed bone healing and chronic ulcers.

How a session works
The protocol usually involves 3–5 sessions, on a weekly basis. During therapy:
- the physiotherapist applies conductive gel to the treatment area;
- the applicator head is positioned, generating impulses adjustable in intensity and depth;
- the patient feels a sensation of pressure or slight discomfort, but the treatment is generally well tolerated.
Expected results and timing
The first benefits typically appear after 2–3 sessions, with a significant reduction in pain and improved joint mobility. Optimal effects are observed within 1–3 months, with progressive consolidation in the following months. Clinical studies report a success rate of over 80% in many of the conditions treated.

What Our Patients Say
Patient Reviews
A wonderful discovery!
My three-year-old son attends occupational therapy at this center, and we are extremely satisfied. Organization, communication, professionalism, and reliability in every aspect. Always greeted with a smile and clear results, even in delicate situations they know exactly how to act.
Recommended to everyone. Exceptional ☺️🍀
Dopo una passeggiata in montagna, ho avuto un mal di schiena allucinante che non mi dava tregua. Su consiglio di Elisa, maestra di Pilates, mi sono rivolta a Lorenzo Villa, fisioterapista e fin da subito mi sono sentita seguita e ascoltata.
Grazie a una combinazione di esercizi mirati e massaggi, la mia schiena è tornata come nuova in pochissimo tempo. Lorenzo non si è limitato a trattare solo quel problema, ma mi ha aiutato anche con altri dolori che avevo da tempo, dimostrando grande professionalità e attenzione.
Ora so con certezza che, se dovessi avere bisogno di nuovo in futuro, da Lorenzo sarò sempre in ottime mani!!
Consigliatissimo 😊
