Focused Shockwave Therapy is the evolutional way to treat MSK pains and injuries.
Focused Shockwave Therapy doesn't just help heal soft tissue injuries such as tendinopathies and muscular injuries. It can also help heal bone conditions, including stress fractures, non-unions, Spinal facet joints, Osteoarthritis, Morton's neuroma, ED and over active bladder syndrome.
We are very highly trained experienced professionals in the world of Shockwave Therapy.
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.
We can speed up your recovery from injury with a combination of Radial and Focused Shockwave Therapy.
Take your recovery to the next level with scientifically proven Shockwave technology which is clinically proven and well approved by top orthopaedics, and now used by well established professional sports bodies, such as Premier League Football clubs and Rugby Union teams.
Suffering from acute or chronic pain. Struggling to get better or want to speed up your healing time to get back to playing sport quicker or back running or hitting the gym?
Book an appointment today to see how we could help heal the root cause of your problems.
3-6 sessions are generally required for most people to gain complete pain relief and full recovery.
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.
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.
What is so special about Focused Shockwave Therapy?
Focused Shockwave Therapy (FSWT) is considered special, compared to Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT), due to its precision, depth, and ability to deliver high energy to deep, specific anatomical targets.
Here are the key aspects that make Focused Shockwave therapy so special:
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)
