What does the shockwave do?
It can relieve pain and promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues. It accomplishes this by releasing growth factors in the injured tissue. Shockwave therapy is sometimes referred to as EPAT, or extracorporeal pulse activation technology.
Shockwave therapy is equipped with 6 transmitters specially used for pain management, available for different treatment areas. The upgraded transmitters are more powerful and achieve deeper energy penetration, more conductive to pain treatment.
Shockwave for Fascia Therapy (4PCS Transmitters)
Shockwave therapy gives a gradual release of trigger points and adhesions in the affected muscles and fascia via therapeutic pressure and gliding. This can provide enormous pain relief.
Shockwave for Spinal Therapy (3PCS Transmitters)
Shockwave is a treatment protocol in degenerative osteoporotic neuro-spinal pathology, heterotopic ossification due to spinal cord injury, cervical spondylosis, scoliosis, sacroiliitis, and coccydynia.

What sports injuries can be treated with shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy is used to reduce pain and promote healing from tendinopathy and many other sports injuries. Some examples include:
Foot pain: plantar fasciitis and Achilles' tendinopathy
Achilles' tendonopathies
Knee pain: patella tendinopathy (jumper's knee)
Leg pain: hamstring injuries
Hip pain: rectus femoris and lateral hip pain with gluteal tendinopathies
Elbow pain: Little League elbow and tennis elbow
Shoulder pain: rotator cuff injuries
How does shockwave therapy work?
Shockwave therapy is typically administered by a sports medicine physician or athletic trainer with a physician's supervision. An athlete's doctor typically has a detailed understanding of their health history. Athletic trainers have deep knowledge in the anatomy of joints, tendons, and ligaments and common patterns of sports injury.
During treatment, the clinician holds a shockwave device next to the skin. The device sends shockwaves into the injured tissues, stimulating increased blood flow and growth hormones to the area, promoting new tissue growth.
There are two types of shockwave therapy. Usually, patients receive both types:
Focused shockwave therapy sends waves into a small area.
Radial shockwave therapy delivers shockwaves over a broader area, for instance, along the length of an injured tendon.
Is shockwave therapy painful?
Most patients report some discomfort during shockwave therapy, but most do not find it painful. The amount of discomfort depends in part on the person, their injury, and whether the damaged tissues are close to a bone. (Treatments delivered closer to a bone are generally more uncomfortable.) The clinician will rub a topical gel on the skin to reduce the discomfort. As soon as the treatment is over, the discomfort typically stops.
How long does shockwave therapy take?
A single treatment usually takes between 15 to 20 minutes. Depending on the injury, a patient will usually receive three to five treatments over a period of several weeks.
How effective is shockwave therapy?
Sports medicine specialists at Boston Children's and other centers have observed significant healing in many of their patients who receive the treatment. Studies are currently underway to better understand the effectiveness of shockwave therapy.
It is important for patients to know that the results of shockwave therapy may not be apparent immediately but should increase over time as their injured tissues heal.
Shockwave therapy is often used in combination with other therapies such as physical therapy and platelet rich plasma injections. In the case of sports-related injuries, an injury-prevention specialist may work with the athlete to analyze their movement patterns and help them build strength and adjust their technique, so they are less prone to re-injury.
Laser Therapy
1. Theory of Treatment
High-powered lasers have a variety of applications in physical therapy, including:
2. Pain Management:
By targeting specific areas of discomfort, lasers can help relieve pain associated with conditions such as arthritis, muscle strains, and joint injuries.
3. Tissue Repair:
The energy of lasers can stimulate cell regeneration and promote tissue healing, aiding the recovery process of injuries or wounds.
4. Anti-inflammatory:
The anti-inflammatory properties of lasers can help reduce swelling and inflammation,
relieving conditions such as tendinitis and bursitis.
5. Improved Circulation:
Laser therapy can enhance blood flow and circulation to injured or damaged tissues,
promoting the delivery of oxygen and nutrients, thereby speeding up healing.
6. Muscle Relaxation:
The ability of lasers to penetrate deep into muscle tissue can help relax tense muscles, reduce tension, and improve flexibility.
