Shockwave Therapy

What is Shockwave Therapy?

It uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and relieve chronic pain in the musculoskeletal system.

Focused Shockwave (FSWT)

Focused Shockwave Therapy (FSWT) is a medical technology that uses high-energy shockwaves to treat pain and stimulate bodily recovery. The shockwaves used in FSWT are high-intensity and can be precisely focused on the desired treatment area, making it suitable for large or superficial areas. Side effects may include some post-treatment pain, which is usually minimal.

The benefits of FSWT in treatment.

1. Treat chronic pain.

• Chronic tendon inflammation, such as Achilles tendinitis.

• Shoulder pain from rotator cuff tendinitis.

2. Stimulates tissue regeneration and cell repair.

• Increase blood flow to the injured area.

• Stimulates collagen production and repairs damaged tissue.

3. Maintain bone and joint health.

• Helps stimulate new bone growth, suitable for osteoporosis or rehabilitation after fractures.

• Used to treat non-union fractures.

4. Helps dissolve calcium deposits in tendons.

• Used to treat calcific tendinitis.

5. Used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED).

• Shock waves help increase blood flow to the genitals.

• Stimulates the formation of new blood vessels.

Caution:

• pregnant

• Areas with tumors or cancer.

• Bleeding disorder / Using blood thinners

• Areas where metal devices or vital organs are placed, such as the heart, brain, or lungs.

• Children who are still growing

• Numbness or loss of sensation in the treated area.

• Patients with pain sensitivity/anxiety.

• This should be done by specially trained personnel.
