Shockwave therapy has been used successfully for years in various orthopedic, surgical, and pain management applications. In radial shockwave therapy, mechanical energy is delivered precisely to the tissue. The shockwaves are generated by an accelerated projectile in the handpiece and penetrate significantly deeper into the tissue than manual therapy can achieve. The effectiveness of radial shockwave therapy is described and confirmed by numerous international studies and case reports.
Effect:
The application can promote blood circulation, stimulate metabolic processes in the tissue, and positively influence muscular and tendon structures.
