An Innovative Solution for Musculoskeletal Treatments
Shockwaves are high-energy acoustic pulses used in medicine to treat various musculoskeletal conditions. There are two main types:
– Focused shockwaves: They have high intensity and deep penetration, allowing for precise treatment of specific areas. They are indicated for calcifications, chronic tendinitis, heel spurs/plantar fasciitis, and fractures with difficult consolidation.
– Radial shockwaves: They have lower intensity and disperse on the surface, making them more suitable for treating muscle pain, superficial tendinopathies, and trigger points.
Both stimulate tissue regeneration, improve circulation, and reduce pain.
