Radial shock wave Therapy

Radial-Shockwave (2).webp

🔹 Radial shockwave therapy is an effective and non-surgery solution using acostic shockwave to enhance healing and reduce pain in  musculoskeletal disorders and chronic pain conditions.

🔹 It increase blood flow, breaks down calcification, and promotes new blood vessel formation. 

🔹 RSWT is used for conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, shoulder tendinopathy and other chronic soft tissue injuries.

🔹 A projectile in the applicator creates a mechanical pressure wave that is transmitted to the body through a working head and spreads through the tissue.

What indications can shockwave therapy solve?

Physiotherapy:

🔹 Shockwave therapy can be used in orthopaedics, physiotherapy, sports medicine, urology and veterinary medicine. The main functions of shockwave therapy machine are to relieve pain and regain mobility.

🔹 Together with being a non-surgical therapy with no need for painkillers makes it an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and cure various  indications causing acute or chronic pain.

ED treatment:

🔹  Most men experience erectile dysfunction because of vascular issues that reduce blood flow to the penis, making it difficult to achieve and maintain an erection.

🔹  Shockwave Therapy for ED can have a highly effective results. The shockwave are focused on the area to be treated creating new blood vessels in penile tissue, enabling patients to achieve and maintain firm spontaneous erections.

Before

🔹 Enlarged fat cells push the skin up and compress the circulatory system, reducing inflow of nutrients and outflow of waste products. 

🔹 Diminished exchanges in circulation lead to a gradual stiffening of the connective tissue, pulling down on the skin. The push/pull effect creates the appearance of cellulite.

During

🔹 The mechanical action of shockwave disrupts the connective tissue to firm and smooth the skin. It causes neo-vascularization, improves circulatory exchanges (the root cause of the proble), leading to thicker, more elastic skin through collagen production.

Another indications

🔹  Insertion tendinopathy         

🔹  Tendon problems

🔹  Chronic inflammation

🔹  Hypertonic muscle systems

🔹  Hemotoma treatments

🔹  Pain management

🔹  Spine management

🔹  Fascia treatment

🔹  Sports injuries

🔹  Tennis elbow

🔹  Tendonitis

🔹  Plantar fasciitis

🔹  Frozen shoulder

🔹  Achilles tendonitis

🔹  Ankle, knee, shoulder, wrist injuries

🔹  Erectile dysfunction

🔹  Fat reduction

Highlights of Radial Shockwave

1. Non-Invasive

🔹 Patients can have an effective, non-invasive and non-surgical to reduce the risks associated with invasive interventions and minimizing recovery time.

2. Minimal Side Effects

🔹 Compared to traditional pain management technologies, RSWT has fewer side effects. Most patients experience only mild discomfort during treatment, with no significant adverse effects reported.

3. Quick Treatment Sessions

🔹 Each RSWT session typically lasts between 10 to 20 minutes, providing patients with busy schedules a convenient option.

4. Safety and Effective

🔹 Numerous studies have show the efficacy and safety of radial shockwave therapy in  pain management and healing promotion. It is widely used in clinics and rehabilitation centers.

5. No Downtime

🔹 Patients can usually keeping their normal activities immediately after treatment, as there is no significant recovery time involved. This makes RSWT an attracting option for those looking to maintain an active lifestyle.

6. Combined Treatment

🔹 Radial shockwave therapy can combine with other physiotherapy technologies: such as focus shockwave therapy, magnetotherapy, PEMF therapy, high power laser therapy, ultrasound therapy, tecar therapy, to maximize the treatment results and to support long-lasting recovery.

7. Cost-Effective Option

🔹 RSWT is a cost-effective solution for managing chronic pain and musculoskeletal conditions compared to more invasive procedures or long-term medication use.
