About Focused Shockwave Therapy (FSWT)
Focused shockwave therapy (FSWT) is a non-invasive treatment delivering high-energy acoustic waves precisely to deep tissues, unlike radial shockwave therapy that largely disperses energy only superficially. FSWT treats tendinopathies (rotator cuff, Achilles, tennis elbow, etc.), plantar fasciitis, myofascial pain, bursitis, stress fracturs, sexual dysfunction, and wounds. The generated focused acoustic waves can be precisely tuned to penetrate tissue up to 12 cm/4.72 in, creating a controlled microtrauma to trigger healing.
How FSWT Works?
FSWT induce mechanotransduction, which are mechanical pressure spikes that stimulate fibroblasts, angiogenesis (new blood vessels via VEGF), and growth factors for collagen and BMPs for regeneration. These mechanical pressure spikes disrupt pain fibers, reduce inflammation by lowering cytokines, and break up calcifications and adhesions.
Key Benefits of FSWT
- Rapid Pain Relief: 70-80% success rate in chronic pain by blocking nociceptors for months-long effects.
- Tissue Repair: Accelerated tendon/muscle recovery, and bone healing outperforming placebo in clinical trials.
- Break-Up Calcifications & Adhesions: Unique ability to break up musculoskeletal calcifications & adhesions.
Typical FSWT Treatment Plan
Typically, 1 treatment a week for up to 6 weeks is recommended for most conditions. Treatments are 10 to 30 minutes. Maintenance booster treatments may be needed for chronic conditions. FSWT is usually combined with synergist treatments to maximize and accelerate therapeutic outcomes.
