Focused Shockwave – How It Works

Focused shockwave therapy works by generating high-energy acoustic waves that are precisely concentrated into a small focal point beneath the skin. This allows energy to penetrate deep tissues, usually 6–12 cm, without damaging the skin surface.

When these waves reach the target tissue, they create mechanical stress and micro-cavitation, which stimulate a series of biological responses:

• Cellular activation – the cells in tendons, muscles, or bones are stimulated to produce growth factors and healing proteins.

• Neovascularization – new capillaries form in the treated area, improving blood supply and oxygen delivery.

• Tissue repair and regeneration – bone healing is accelerated, tendons and ligaments regain strength faster.

• Pain reduction – shockwaves disrupt pain receptors and reset nerve sensitivity, providing long-lasting relief.

Because the energy is concentrated in a pinpoint area, focused shockwave is especially effective for treating chronic conditions, deep injuries, erectile dysfunction, and bone-related problems.

Radial Shockwave – How It Works

Radial shockwave therapy works differently. Instead of concentrating energy in one point, it produces waves pneumatically (using compressed air) and spreads them outward in a radial pattern from the applicator head.

This means the energy disperses as it enters the body, mainly affecting superficial tissues up to about 3–4 cm depth. The mechanical action is more gentle and covers a wider surface area.

The main effects include:

• Muscle relaxation – loosens tight muscles and fascia.

• Improved circulation – stimulates local blood flow and metabolism.

• Connective tissue remodeling – smooths and firms the skin, often used for cellulite reduction.

• Recovery support – accelerates healing of sports injuries and reduces soreness.

Because it works more broadly and at shallower depths, radial shockwave is commonly used for large muscle groups, soft tissue injuries, and cosmetic applications.

The Difference in Simple Words

• Focused shockwave = precision and depth. Like a laser beam, it goes deep and targets a very specific spot.

• Radial shockwave = surface coverage. Like a flashlight, it spreads out and treats larger, shallow areas.

Focused shockwave therapy is widely used in orthopedics, sports medicine, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, urology, and dermatology. Because it penetrates deeply and acts precisely, it is particularly effective for chronic, hard-to-treat conditions.

1. Musculoskeletal Disorders

• Chronic Tendinopathies

  • Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)

  • Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)

  • Patellar tendonitis (“jumper’s knee”)

  • Achilles tendonitis

  • Rotator cuff tendonitis and calcifications

• Plantar Fasciitis

  • One of the most common indications; focused shockwave reduces inflammation and stimulates tissue repair.

• Shoulder Problems

  • Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)

  • Calcific deposits in the shoulder joint

• Hip and Knee Disorders

  • Greater trochanteric pain syndrome

  • Knee osteoarthritis pain management

2. Bone-Related Conditions

• Delayed Union or Non-Union Fractures

  • Promotes bone healing by stimulating bone-forming cells (osteoblasts).

• Stress Fractures

  • Helps accelerate recovery in athletes.

• Avascular Necrosis

  • Enhances revascularization and slows down bone tissue degeneration.

3. Urology & Men’s Health

• Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

  • Particularly effective for vascular-related ED.

  • Promotes neovascularization in penile tissue, improving blood supply and enabling stronger, natural erections.

• Peyronie’s Disease

  • Helps soften fibrotic plaques, reducing curvature and discomfort.

• Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome

  • Improves blood flow and reduces pain in chronic pelvic floor dysfunction.

4. Dermatology & Aesthetic Medicine

• Cellulite Reduction

  • Restores connective tissue elasticity, improves skin smoothness.

• Scar Tissue & Fibrosis

  • Breaks down fibrotic tissue, enhances remodeling.

• Skin Rejuvenation Support (when combined with other therapies)

  • Stimulates collagen production, improves skin firmness.

5. Neurological & Pain Management

• Peripheral Neuropathy

  • Supports nerve regeneration and reduces neuropathic pain.

• Myofascial Pain Syndromes

  • Trigger point release in deep muscle layers.

• Chronic Low Back Pain

  • Especially effective when originating from facet joint stress or deep tissue inflammation.

Why Focused Shockwave Is Chosen for These Conditions

• Deep penetration (up to 12 cm) → can reach tendons, ligaments, bones, and vascular tissues.

• Precision targeting → energy is delivered exactly to the problem area.

• Biological repair stimulation → accelerates tissue regeneration instead of just masking symptoms.

• Non-invasive alternative → reduces need for surgery or long-term medication.

How Does Focused Shockwave Therapy Work? (Treatment Steps)

Step 1. Patient Preparation

• The treatment area is identified according to the diagnosis (e.g. heel for plantar fasciitis, shoulder for tendonitis, or groin for ED).

• The patient is positioned comfortably to ensure stability during therapy.

Step 2. Coupling Medium Application

• A special conductive gel is applied to the skin.

• This gel eliminates air pockets and ensures the shockwaves pass smoothly into the tissue.

Step 3. Device Parameter Setting

• Select the treatment protocol from the device interface (energy level, frequency, and number of pulses are often preset for common conditions).

• Adjust parameters individually based on patient tolerance and clinical need.

Step 4. Treatment Delivery

• The handpiece is positioned over the treatment zone.

• Focused shockwaves are transmitted into the tissue.

• During treatment, the therapist may slightly move the handpiece to cover the exact target area.

Step 5. Session Duration

• A typical session lasts 10–20 minutes, depending on the condition.

• The number of shocks per session usually ranges from 1500 to 3000 impulses.

Step 6. Post-Treatment Care

• After the session, the treated area may feel warm, slightly red, or sensitive.

• Patients are advised to avoid intense physical activity for 24–48 hours to allow natural healing to begin.

• Results accumulate progressively; most patients experience improvement after 3–6 sessions.

Contraindications & Precautions

Although focused shockwave therapy is safe and non-invasive, certain patients are not suitable for treatment:

1. Vascular disorders

   • Aneurysms, severe circulation problems, or clotting disorders.

2. Tumors or cancer

   • Do not treat over malignant or benign tumors.

3. Implanted medical devices

   • Pacemakers, defibrillators, or pain pumps in or near the treatment area.

4. Acute inflammation or infection

   • Avoid areas with open wounds, active infection, or severe inflammation.

5. Pregnancy

   • Not recommended during pregnancy, especially near the abdomen or pelvic region.

6. Epiphyseal plates in children

   • Not suitable for individuals whose bone growth plates are still open.

7. Other precautions

   • Avoid treatment over the spinal cord or directly on cartilage surfaces.

   • Patients taking anticoagulants or with severe osteoporosis should be evaluated carefully.​

Post-Treatment Care (After Focused Shockwave Therapy)

1. Normal Reactions

   • Mild redness, warmth, swelling, or slight bruising around the treated area may appear.

   • Temporary discomfort or soreness can last for a few hours up to 2 days.

   • These are normal healing responses and usually resolve on their own.

2. Activity Recommendations

   • Avoid intensive exercise, heavy lifting, or strenuous sports for 24–48 hours after treatment.

   • Light daily activities and gentle movement are allowed.

   • For athletes, gradual return to training should follow the therapist’s guidance.

3. Pain Management

   • Do not take anti-inflammatory medications (e.g., ibuprofen, aspirin) immediately after treatment, as they may interfere with the natural healing process.

   • If needed, simple pain relief methods such as ice packs.

4. Hydration & Recovery

   • Drink plenty of water after each session to help the body eliminate metabolic waste.

   • Adequate rest and sleep support faster healing.

5. Skin & Local Care

   • If the treated area feels irritated, apply a cold compress (avoid direct ice contact with skin).

   • Do not apply heat therapy (e.g., hot packs, sauna) within the first 24 hours.

6. Treatment Course

   • Patients usually require 3–6 sessions depending on the condition.

   • Improvement often begins after the first few treatments and continues to progress over several weeks.

7. When to Contact a Doctor

   • If pain increases significantly or unusual reactions persist longer than 3 days, consult a healthcare professional.​
