Focused Shockwave Therapy (FSWT)
Focused Shockwave Therapy (FSWT) delivers high-energy waves deep into targeted points, making it suitable for chronic or deep injuries.
How It Works: Uses electromagnetic, piezoelectric, or electrohydraulic technology to send a concentrated wave that retains energy as it travels deeper into the tissue.
Penetration: Reaches approximately 6–12 cm beneath the skin, depending on the technology and treatment parameters.
Best For: Deep tendon issues, bone calcifications, stress fractures, non-healing fractures, and erectile dysfunction.
Sensation: Often more comfortable at the skin's surface because the energy is concentrated deeper within the targeted tissue.
Radial Shockwave Therapy (R-SWT / EPAT)
Radial Shockwave Therapy (R-SWT) distributes energy more broadly near the surface, reaching approximately 3–4 cm deep. It is best suited for larger, more superficial muscle and soft-tissue issues.
How It Works: Uses pneumatic, or compressed-air, force to propel a mechanical projectile that radiates energy outward like a ripple.
Penetration: Reaches shallow depths of approximately 3–4 cm, with the highest intensity near the skin's surface.
Best For: Plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, Achilles tendinitis, myofascial trigger points, and general muscle soreness.
Sensation: May feel stronger or more intense at the point of skin contact.
