Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT)

Centum Neurology Clinic uses shockwave systems from both Dornier of Germany and Storz of Switzerland — the finest available. With shockwave therapy, the quality of the equipment can make a decisive difference to the result.

Extracorporeal shockwave (ESWT)The effect of

Pain reliefRelieves pain by stimulating the nerve endings that generate it
Removal of inflammation and calcificationBreaks down and clears inflammation and calcified tissue around the tendon
Blood circulationIncreases blood flow to the treated area, improving circulation
Tissue regenerationInduces regeneration of damaged ligament and surrounding tissue
Functional recoveryAs pain and inflammation subside, recovery of joint and muscle function accelerates

Focused shockwave

Focused shockwave

Uses equipment from DORNIER of Germany, the world's number one
A focused mode that concentrates energy deep into the painful area.

Radial shockwave

Radial shockwave

Uses radial shockwaves developed by STORZ MEDICAL of Switzerland
The shockwave spreads radially and broadly from the skin surface to relieve pain, making it applicable over wide areas.
It is highly effective for myofascial pain and pain in the body's large muscles, and combining it with focused shockwave therapy yields even better results.

Advanced Equipment

  • SIEMENS3T AI MRIWe add AI imaging (Deep Resolve) to a proven Siemens 3T MRI to examine neurological conditions faster and more clearly.
  • MRACerebrovascular and carotid MRAIt accurately evaluates the degree of atherosclerosis, stenosis, structural abnormality, and the presence of aneurysm in the vessels of the brain and neck.
  • Carotid USCarotid UltrasoundCarotid wall thickness and plaque are examined to assess stroke risk.
  • NCS / EMGNerve conduction studiesNerves in the arms, legs, and face are safely stimulated electrically and the responses recorded, establishing whether peripheral nerve damage is present and how severe it is.
  • EPEvoked potential testBy safely stimulating the visual and auditory pathways electrically, damage to the cranial nerves can be identified.
  • EEGAI digital EEGBeyond the conventional identification of epileptiform waveforms, quantitative EEG with the latest AI software aids in assessing brain function in headache, anxiety, and depression.
  • VNGVideo nystagmographyBy recording and analyzing involuntary eye movement on video, this test is useful for distinguishing dizziness disorders such as BPPV and Meniere's disease.
  • HRV / SSRAutonomic Function TestEquipment that objectively assesses the balance between the body's sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves.
  • PWV / ABIArterial elasticity testingBy measuring vessel elasticity and the degree of atherosclerosis, it readily assesses the risk of circulatory disturbance and cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease.
  • Wearable ECG/BPWearable cardiac function testingA micro-sensor continuously analyzes blood pressure and ECG over 24 hours to identify cardiac dysfunction capable of causing a stroke.
  • SNSB / CERADNeuropsychological testingIt distinguishes simple forgetfulness from dementia and objectively evaluates cognitive function including memory.
  • LABBlood and genetic testingWe identify risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, including dyslipidemia, and look for high-risk dementia genes in advance so that prevention can begin.
