Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (musculoskeletal conditions) Physiotherapy machine
Product Description
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive procedure for treating a number of painful musculoskeletal conditions. ESWT uses shockwaves to stimulate healing of the problematic tissue.
What are some common indications for ESWT?
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis or golfer's elbow
- Calcific tendinopathy of the shoulder
- Patellar tendinopathy
- Achilles tendinopathy
What are The Benefits of Radial Shockwave Therapy?
Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) offers a range of therapeutic benefits for those suffering from various musculoskeletal conditions. Here are some key advantages of this innovative treatment:
- Improves Blood Flow: Enhances circulation and oxygenation to aid healing.
- Reduces Inflammation: Fights inflammation, reducing chronic pain.
- Boosts Collagen Production: Stimulates collagen for better tissue support.
- Decreases Calcification: Clears calcium deposits in damaged tendons.
- Interrupts Pain Signals: Lowers pain perception by reducing Substance P levels.
- Relaxes Trigger Points: Alleviates muscle tension to ease pain.
How does shockwave therapy work?
Shockwave therapy is a modality that is becoming more common in physiotherapy. Using a much lower energy than in medical applications, shockwave therapy, or extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), is used in the treatment of many musculoskeletal conditions, primarily those involving connective tissues such as ligaments and tendons.
WHAT CAN IT BE USED FOR?
Shockwave therapy can be used for a wide variety of sports injuries and musculoskeletal conditions and particularly those involving the areas of the body where connective tissues attaches to the bone. For example:
• Plantar Fasciitis and heel spurs
• Achilles tendonitis
• Patellar tendonitis
• Shin pain/splints
• Rotator cuff tendonitis and calcification
• Trochanteric bursitis (hip)
• Tennis elbow and Golfers elbow
• Muscles- various trigger points and tension
• Bones- non-union stress fractures

Five advantages of ESWT in brief:
1. Pain relief:
Shock wave therapy is known for its ability to relieve pain. The high-energy sound waves penetrate deep into the tissue, reducing inflammation and providing rapid pain relief.
2. Stimulation of blood circulation:
The application of shock waves improves blood circulation. This is particularly beneficial for the healing of tissues and can accelerate regeneration.
3. Acceleration of the healing process:
By increasing the body's own regenerative capacity and improving metabolism, shock wave therapy can allow damaged tissue to regenerate and heal, leading to a faster recovery.
4. Non-invasive treatment:
As a non-invasive treatment method, shock wave therapy offers a gentle alternative to invasive procedures. It does not require surgery, reduces the risk of complications and shortens recovery time.
5. Versatile application options:
Shock wave therapy can be used for a variety of conditions, including heel spur, tennis elbow, shoulder pain and muscle tension, making it a versatile treatment option.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does Shockwave Therapy feel like?
You might feel a bit of discomfort during shockwave therapy, but for most, it's like a quick, mild sting. However, the intensity can be adjusted to keep you comfortable throughout the treatment.
2. Will I be in pain afterward?
A day or two after the treatment, you may feel a slight discomfort, like a bruise, but that is normal and is a sign that the treatment is working.
3. What is the difference between radial shock wave therapy and focused shockwave therapy?
The main difference between radial shock wave therapy and focused shockwave therapy is the type of energy used. Radial shock wave therapy uses ballistic sound waves that penetrate through soft tissue, while focused shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic pulses directed at a specific point. Additionally, the treatment area for radial shockwave therapy tends to be larger than for focused shockwave therapy. Both types of shockwave therapy have been shown to be effective in treating pain and promoting healing.
4. What conditions can be treated with Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy?
ESWT is commonly used to treat musculoskeletal disorders such as calcific and non-calcific tendinopathy, medial tibial stress syndrome, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and tennis elbow. It has also shown promising results in treating erectile dysfunction and kidney stones.
