How ShockWave Works

Key Features of OUR High Energy Focused ShockWave

1. ENERGY: Our equipment is HIGH ENERGY ESWT ShockWave. The energy delivered by the treatment head is expressed in Bar or HectoPascal. Both are a measure of PRESSURE. This ShockWave is the strongest and most effective (and therefore unfortunately also the most expensive, also in terms of maintenance) ever produced and later models were made somewhat cheaper for marketing reasons, but unfortunately also weaker. And that is a pity, because it is precisely that pressure in depth with your condition that determines the response, or the healing effect in the tissue and therefore the improvement of the load capacity. Plus the sustainable improvement, because the tissue is actually improved "rebuilt". And that is what you want...!

2. FOCUS: it is FOCUSED ShockWave, which means: all energy goes inwards bundled. You lose nothing superficially and you don't want that of course. So all energy ends up where you want it: at the disease or the calcifications..!

IMPORTANT: Many physiotherapists use so-called UNFOCUSED LOW ENERGY RSWT [R stands for Radial ShockWave] equipment but call it 'ShockWave'. This is confusing for the patient. However, this (much cheaper) equipment does not have nearly the power of our High Energy ESWT and works mainly on the surface.

This form of therapy, which works with a kind of gun with a compressor (so-called ballistic type), is due to its deviating pulse shape [too long, and not enough pressure build-up!] not able to crush lime and the energy is transferred very much to the surface. As a result, the effects that can be expected from a treatment with this type of device, according to the literature, are much less for most treatment indications. In particular, it has been shown in the literature that this form has hardly any influence on deeper indications, such as shoulder calcifications and heel spur complaints. And those are precisely the 2 main indications!

You want the BEST treatment, don't you?

Then choose this ESWT ShockWave…!

Many have gone before you, with great success!
