Focused Shockwave Therapy (FSWT)
Focused Shockwave Therapy (FSWT) is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes high-energy sound waves directed at a specific area of the body. Unlike radial shockwave therapy, which disperses energy over a broader area, FSWT concentrates the energy on a precise focal point, allowing for deeper penetration and targeted treatment.
How focused Shock Wave therapy works:
- Sound Wave Generation: A device generates focused shockwaves, which are high-energy acoustic waves that are directed at a specific area within the body.
- Deep Tissue Penetration: The focused waves can penetrate deeper into the tissues compared to radial shockwaves, reaching areas like bones, tendons, and deep muscle tissues.
- Tissue Regeneration: FSWT promotes tissue regeneration by stimulating blood circulation, enhancing cellular repair, and reducing inflammation.
- Pain Relief: It also helps in reducing pain by desensitizing nerve endings and breaking down calcifications in tissues.
Some of the conditions that can benefit from Focused Shockwave Therapy include:
- Achilles Tendinopathy
- Patellar Tendinopathy
- Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
- Calcific Tendonitis
- Shoulder Calcifications
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Chronic Heel Pain
- Non-Union Fractures
- Delayed Bone Healing
- Avascular Necrosis
- Osgood Schlatter’s
- Hip Pain
- Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome
- Wrist/hand pain
- Lumbar and Cervical Spine Pain
- Facet Joint Syndrome
- Osteoarthritis
- Joint Degeneration
- Myofascial Trigger Points
- Deep Muscle Pain
- Post-Surgical Scars
- Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
- Knee Ligament Injuries
Benefits:
- Targeted Treatment: Allows for precise treatment of specific areas, making it ideal for deep tissue injuries.
- Non-Invasive: No need for surgery, with minimal downtime.
- Stimulates Healing: Enhances the body’s natural healing processes, improving recovery times.
- Minimal Side Effects
