Manche Wunden widerstehen hartnäckig jedem Behandlungsversuch. Solche chronische Wunden bereiten nicht nur Schmerzen, sondern können auch zu einer psychischen und finanziellen Belastung werden. Umso wichtiger ist hier eine moderne, multidisziplinäre Wundtherapie. In diesem Behandlungskonzept sollte auch die extrakorporale Stoßwellentherapie nicht fehlen.
