Advanced Pneumatic Radial Shockwave Therapy

History of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) otherwise referred to as shockwave therapy, was first introduced into clinical practice in 1982 for the management of urologic conditions . The success of this technology for the treatment of urinary stones quickly made it a first-line, noninvasive, and effective method . Subsequently, ESWT was studied in orthopedics where it was identified that it could loosen the cement in total hip arthroplasty revisions. Further, animal studies conducted in the 1980s revealed that ESWT could augment the bone-cement interface, enhance osteogenic response and improve fracture healing . While shockwave therapy has been shown to be beneficial in fracture healing, most orthopedic research has focused on upper and lower extremity tendinopathies, fasciopathies, and soft tissue conditions.

ADVANCED PNEUMATIC RADIAL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY

Shockwave Therapy is a great machine even for manual therapists as it saves their hands and also a lot of your energy and time. This fine and effective way to break adhesions is a much needed device in every clinic.

Why Pneumatic Shockwaves are the Best for Physiotherapy?

Pneumatic Shockwave Therapy produce Radial shockwaves. They are called Soft Shockwaves and penetrate deep and effectively without focussing energy at a single point. This is the best and most effective technology used in pain management. Patients feel very comfortable during the treatment and pneumatic shockwaves have much wider range of applications.
Other methods of generating shockwaves employ – Electromagnetic. Piezo Electric and Spark Discharge methods. These shockwaves are focussed waves are essential for ‘surgical’ interventions, but given their destructive nature, they are less appropriate for therapeutic uses. Electromagnetic shockwaves are small table top low cost machines. Eventually they don’t last long and also need frequent maintenance as they heat up. Also the therapeutic efficacy is not comparable to the advanced Pneumatic shockwave machines.
