Shockwave therapy, also called acoustic wave therapy or extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), uses strong shockwave to help heal damaged tissues.
- It's a non-surgical treatment mainly used for muscle and tendon injuries, such as tendon problems, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow and many more.
- The shockwave encourage tissue repair, improve blood flow, and reduce pain. In the treatment, a device is placed on the skin, and it sends shockwaves into the injured area.
- This boosts blood circulation and stimulates the release of growth hormones, helping new tissue grow.
The new Intelect RPW 2 Shockwave unit is designed for comfort, ease of use, and compactness, making it one of the smallest and most efficient clinical devices available.
This device uses low-energy shockwaves (also called pressure pulses) to treat various conditions. The pressure pulse travels through the tissue, providing therapeutic benefits.
Some common conditions treated are:
- Achilles Tendon Issues
- Tendon insertion problems
- Muscle trigger points
- Pain and inflammation in joint conditions
- Plantar fasciitis
