What is Focused Shock Wave Therapy?
Focused shock wave therapy - sometimes known as Focused Shockwaves - can provide more depth penetration for deeper tissue than radial waves, focusing its output into more localised, more profound areas.
Focused waves are made through a cone of crystals, and these cones focus the energy field when an electrical current is applied. The energy causes a pressure wave that can move through the skin without losing power in a concentrated zone.
This accuracy feature makes Focused Shock wave Therapy much better for treating issues affecting tissues deeper within the body (hips and lower limb conditions).
Focused shockwaves can be generated using electrohydraulic, electromagnetic, and piezoelectric methods, each with distinct mechanisms: electrohydraulic uses an underwater spark plug to create a shockwave, electromagnetic uses a coil and a magnetic field, and piezoelectric uses a crystal that deforms to create a pressure pulse. These different technologies result in varying focal zone sizes and wave characteristics that are important for different medical applications.
Electrohydraulic
Mechanism: An electric spark is created in a fluid (like water), causing a rapid bubble expansion that generates a shockwave.
Focal Zone: This method produces the largest focal zone, meaning more cells are affected by each wave.
Characteristics: Known for having very short rise times.
Focusing: The shockwave is focused toward a target using a reflector.
Electromagnetic
Mechanism: A strong electric current induces a magnetic field, which interacts with another magnetic field to generate a shockwave.
Focusing: The wave is formed in the focal zone where the intensity reaches its maximum.
Characteristics: Rise time is longer than electrohydraulic systems, resulting in more oscillations in the wave.
Piezoelectric
Mechanism: Piezoelectric crystals are arranged on a sphere and rapidly contract or expand when an electric charge is applied, creating a pressure pulse that forms a shockwave.
Focal Zone: Generates the smallest focal zone among the focused methods.
Characteristics: Considered the only direct focused shockwave technology, where the energy is sent directly to the target without bouncing, which can lead to greater accuracy and consistency.
KEY BENEFITS:
Not only is the effectiveness better with Focused-ESWT, but the skipping-the-skin part means you don't stimulate the skin sensory network; this leads to a more comfortable session. and due to the comfort levels being better higher doses can often be used
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is the application of Shock Waves in medicine.
It is clinically proven that pressure waves, when applied to injured tissues, stimulate metabolic reactions:
Reduction of pain felt by nerve fibers
Increase of blood circulation in surrounding soft tissues
Beginning of healing process triggered by stem cells activation
When do you need shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy is mainly used for pain relief and tissue regeneration.
Shockwaves cause increased blood circulation and angiogenesis (formation of new vessels), which leads to a reduction in concentration of chemicals that sensitise structures to pain.
This treatment method can also be used to treat sports injuries and chronic pain conditions such as:
Plantar fasciitis
Tennis elbow
Heel pain
Heel spurs
Frozen shoulder
Morton's neuroma
Calcific rotator cuff tendinitis
Achilles tendinopathy
Tendonitis
Trigger point therapy
Jumper's knee
Focused vs Radial Shockwave Therapy

In rehabilitation therapy, shockwaves are channelled to the area to accelerate healing. Focused
Shock Wave Therapy can provide more depth penetration for deeper tissue than radial waves,
focusing on more localised areas. Focused waves are made through a cone of crystals, and these
cones focus the energy field when an electrical current is applied. The energy causes a pressure
wave that can move through the skin without losing power in a concentrated zone.
The applicator has minimal impact on the skin, limiting the damage to surface skin and underlying
soft tissues making it safer and more comfortable. While radial waves are applied all over a local area,
focused shockwave theory treats defined points within the body and can be adapted depending on the
required depth. This accuracy feature makes focused shockwave therapy much better for treating
issues affecting tissues deeper within the body such as hips and lower limb conditions.
Focused Shockwave Therapy: How It Works
This Focused Shockwave device, uses an electromagnetically generated shock wave
produced within a hand-held applicator (F-SW Handpiece). The shockwave is generated
by discharging a high voltage capacitor located in the control unit into a cylindrically shaped
coil system in the handpiece which is surrounded by a cylindrical metallic membrane. The
transient magnetic field produced by the coil induces eddy currents in the metal membrane,
causing it to repel from the coil, producing a pressure wave. The membrane is immersed in
water and the pressure wave produced by the membrane propagates through the water to a
concentric parabolic reflector, where it is reflected to a focal point outside of the handpiece in front of the reflector.
The Benefits:
With its progressive technological advancements, Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology
(EPAT/ESWT) delivers an evidence-based*, non-surgical solution for patients suffering from chronic heel pain.
It addresses the increasing demand for patient convenience, less down-time and risk, as well as better
clinical and economic outcomes, and improved practice efficiencies and cash-flow.
