Shockwave Therapy
Is shockwave therapy painful? Most patients report some discomfort during shockwave therapy, but
most do not find it painful. The amount of discomfort depends in part on the person, their injury,
and whether the damaged tissues are close to a bone.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy treatment (ESWT) is a clinically proven treatment available for patients presenting
primarily with chronic tendon disorders. This is a successful second line treatment for patients who fail to respond to
appropriate conservative management including physiotherapy
How shockwave therapy helps heal sports and overuse injuries
this is like a deep tissue massage." "It feels like a little jackhammer." "It hurts so good!"
The list of ways patients describe extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is almost as long as the list of conditions
this advanced treatment can help heal.
ESWT is an advanced treatment that uses acoustic shockwaves to break up soft tissue calcifications, enhance collagen
synthesis, release growth factors, and stimulate your body's healing process to improve pain and help you stay active.
This therapy enhances blood circulation and accelerates the healing of stubborn musculoskeletal conditions in bones,
tendons, ligaments, and muscle.
Depending on the injury, patients can avoid invasive treatments such as steroid injections or surgery. ESWT requires
no incisions or downtime. Most patients see long-term results after only three treatments, which take about 15 minutes each.
I am a physiotherapist. What is the best type of shockwave for me to use?
As a physiotherapist, you are likely to deal with functional disorders and muscle imbalances that result from
tendinopathies or calcifications.
A radial shockwave will cause strong mechanical stimulation and release the cycle of pain and muscle stiffness.
In addition, you will appreciate the combination of static and dynamic applications, not only in the affected area,
but also in the surrounding tissues.
I am an orthopedist. Can I combine both shockwave technologies?
You as an orthopedist usually focus on structural problems and treat the disorder locally. You also know best
how deep the damaged tissue is.
This gives you the unique ability to combine both shockwave technologies based on the depth of the damaged tissue.
A focused shockwave is a versatile tool, while a radial shockwave can be used for less severe conditions and superficial tissue.
What is Focused Shockwave Therapy
Focused Shockwave Therapy involves passing short, intense sound waves into damaged tissues,which increases blood flow,
has a pain relieving effect and stimulates the repair and regeneration process. The treatment puts the cells into repair mode
and allows your body to restart its own accelerated healing process.
Mechanism of Action
The focused shockwave causes deep cell stimulation that releases growth factors responsible for tissue regeneration and
the initiation of healing processes in the damaged tissues.
It is a gold standard treatment for deep-lying tendinopathies, calcifications, and delayed bone healing conditions, such
as pseudoarthrosis.
Focused vs Radial Shockwave Therapy
Image of Shockwave equipment showing the different depth of treatment using focused shockwave versus radial shockwave
treatment 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.
