摘要:
Disclosed is a medical apparatus for treating a human or animal body by means of mechanical pressure waves or shock waves. Said apparatus comprises a device for generating the pressure waves or shock waves. The device is equipped with at least one applicator part (18; 64; 94), to which shocks can be applied at a proximal end in order to generate the pressure waves or shock waves, and which couples the pressure waves or shock waves into the body at a distal end. The apparatus (10; 60; 90) is additionally designed to extracorporeally generate at least one additional physical effective parameter and coupling the same into the body, said additional parameter being selected from among the group encompassing electric power, electromagnetic waves, especially light, ultrasound, and/or another mechanical effect.
