Enthesiopathies II. Radial Shock Wave Therapy of Tendinopathies

In a comprehensive practical section, „Enthesiopathies II“ provides physicians,
physical therapists and sports scientists with information about indications and
therapy recommendations for radial shock wave therapy (RSWT). Numerous colour illustrations and diagrams contribute to easier understanding and visualise individual aspects. The book furthermore imparts important background knowledge: topics
such as the mechanism of action of shock waves, diagnostic sonography, the current state of scientific studies and contraindications are addressed. Finally, supplemental physical exercises for shock wave therapy patients are described. The author has many years of practical experience in the field of shock wave therapy and has been decisively involved with its development in the past. The publication is supplemented by multiple contributions from experts.
