ESWT Softwave Electromagnetic Focused Shock Wave Therapy Machine
What’s The Difference Between Radial & Focused Shock Waves (The Physics)?
While radial waves are good at providing relief over a wider area and can treat low-depth issues such as those on the Achilles or elbow, other conditions can require more focused treatments.
Radial waves are characterised by three key points
- they have lower maximum intensity,
- they have a divergent wave
they deliver their maximum intensity to a ‘superficial’ area i.e low depth. This depth is usually around 3 - 4cm.
Focused shock waves allow for ‘adjustable’ penetration depending on where needs to be treated and are ideal for treating deeper problem areas such as hamstring, pelvic or hip issues.
Focused waves are characterised as having a higher maximum intensity, delivered as a convergent wave with an adjustable depth of focal area. This can range between 2 and 30cm.
The reason the waves are different is down to how the therapy is applied.
While
- RSWT follows a pneumatic principle, using compressed air and transmitters to determine the wave shape
- FSWT follows an electroacoustic principle, using electromagnetism and coupling pads to apply deeper, focused and adjustable waves.
This treatment method can also be used to treat sports injuries and chronic pain conditions such as:
Plantar fasciitis
Tennis elbow
Heel pain
Heel spurs
Frozen shoulder
Morton’s neuroma
Calcific rotator cuff tendinitis
Achilles tendinopathy
Tendonitis
Trigger point therapy
Jumper’s knee
