People treated with US or ESWT for HS can achive significant health benefits in pain reduction and improvement in quality of life. This book provides scientific results of own and other Authors’ experiences based on systematic reviews. The proofs in this book will become a contribution to improving the therapeutic effects and the health benefits in patients suffering from HS.
