Focused Shock Wave Therapy Machine FSWT
What is Focused Shock Wave Therapy?
Focused shock wave therapy - sometimes known as Focused Shockwaves - can provide more depth penetration for deeper tissue than radial waves, focusing its output into more localized, more profound areas.
Focused waves are made through a cone of crystals, and these cones focus the energy field when an electrical current is applied. The energy causes a pressure wave that can move through the skin without losing power in a concentrated zone.
Fortunately, the site of the applicator on the skin experiences a minimal impact, limiting the damage to surface skin and underlying soft tissues (safer & more comfortable).
While radial waves are applied all over a local area, FSWT treats at defined points within the body and is adapted depending on the required depth.
This accuracy feature makes Focused Shock wave Therapy much better for treating issues affecting tissues deeper within the body (hips and lower limb conditions).
KEY BENEFITS:
Not only is the effectiveness better with Focused-ESWT, but the skipping-the-skin part means you don't stimulate the skin sensory network; this leads to a more comfortable session. and due to the comfort levels being better higher doses can often be used
While radial waves are good at providing relief over a wider area and can treat low-depth issues such as those on the Achilles or elbow, other conditions can require more focused treatments.
Radial waves are characterised by three key points
- they have lower maximum intensity,
- they have a divergent wave
- they deliver their maximum intensity to a ‘superficial’ area i.e low depth. This depth is usually around 3 - 4cm.
Focused shock waves allow for ‘adjustable’ penetration depending on where needs to be treated and are ideal for treating deeper problem areas such as hamstring, pelvic or hip issues.
Focused waves are characterised as having a higher maximum intensity, delivered as a convergent wave with an adjustable depth of focal area. This can range between 2 and 30cm.
The reason the waves are different is down to how the therapy is applied. While
- RSWT follows a pneumatic principle, using compressed air and transmitters to determine the wave shape
- FSWT follows an electroacoustic principle, using electromagnetism and coupling pads to apply deeper, focused and adjustable waves.
