Focused Shockwave Therapy can hugely accelerate the healing process of pains and injuries. It doesn't just help heal soft tissue injuries, such as tendinopathies and muscular injuries but it can also help heal bone conditions, including stress fractures, non-unions, Spinal facet joints, Osteoarthritis, and even issues such as Morton's neuroma, ED and over active bladder syndrome.

What makes Focused Shockwave Therapy so special in the MSK world?
Focused Shockwave Therapy is considered to be very special in the world of Shockwave Therapy. It is often compared to Radial Shockwave Therapy but in reality it is a completely different treatment with very different attributes due to the precision, depth, and ability of Focused Shockwave to deliver high energy to deep, specific anatomical targets.
Focused Shockwave Therapy can help disrupt calcifications (tiny calcium deposits), reduce tight or poorly organized tissue and can be applied to very deep and precise tissue and with a very high amount of tolerable energy.
Unlike other therapies such as massage, acupuncture or even Radial Shockwave Therapy, Focused Shockwave sends acoustic (sound) waves to a very specific point inside the body. This precision is especially useful for treating problems that are deep beneath the skin, like certain tendon or bone-related conditions. It hugely kick starts the body's natural repair processes.
Here are the key aspects that make Focused Shockwave the stand out non-invasive solution for pain and injuries.
1. High precision and deep penetration.
-
Convergent Wave: Unlike the widely spreading (divergent) waves of Radial, Focused generates a true acoustic shockwave that is focused. The waves converge at a specific, controllable point (a "focal zone").
-
Targeted Energy: This allows the practitioner to concentrate the maximum energy precisely at the site of injury, which may be a deep tendon insertion, calcification, or bone tissue.
-
Depth: Focused can reach depths of up to 12.5 cm, making it the superior option for deep-seated conditions like hip issues, deep hamstring tendonitis, or conditions close to the bone.
2. Efficacy for specific conditions.
Due to its ability to deliver high, concentrated energy, Focused is uniquely suited for:
-
Calcifications: It is highly effective at physically breaking down calcium deposits (e.g., in calcific shoulder tendinopathy) to promote their resorption.
-
Bone Healing: It is often used to stimulate healing in cases of delayed bone union or non-union fractures where deep tissue access is essential.
-
Chronic & Deep Issues: It is often the preferred choice for long-standing, chronic pain that originates from structures deep within the body, which radial therapy cannot effectively reach.
3. Energy profile and biological effect.
-
Maximum Energy at Target: With Focused, the energy is minimal on the skin's surface and increases significantly only at the deep focal point. This makes it more comfortable for the patient on the surface, allowing the use of higher total energy to treat the underlying issue.
-
True Shockwave: Focused produces a true acoustic shockwave characterised by an extremely rapid pressure rise (in nanoseconds) followed by a negative pressure phase (cavitation). This unique physical property is highly effective at stimulating specific regenerative processes, such as:
-
Angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels).
-
Stimulation of growth factors (like VEGF - Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor)
-
The new way to treat MSK.
Focused Shockwave Therapy has been a complete game changer in the MSK treatment world.
Target specific pain and injuries with the most advanced treatment therapy available on the market for MSK issues such as tendinopathies.
The amount of energy that Focused Shockwave therapy machines produce is very high and really targets the injured tissue cells to stimulate the body's natural repair process in an incredibly effective way. Even where other types of treatment therapy have already failed to heal the pain and injury.
Whether you visit our clinic for Shockwave Therapy for pain and injuries, Erectile Dysfunction or AWT, we pride ourselves on ensuring every single patient is given the best possible treatment session that is catered to their specific needs.
Focused Shockwave Therapy is game changing technology that stands our clinic apart from other therapists. This is because it has completely revolutionised the way we heal pains and injuries and has elevated our patients recovery times to a whole new level compared to other therapies that are more frequently available.
