Low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (Li-ESWT) is a form of energy transfer that is of lower intensity (<0.2mJ/ mm2 ) relative to traditional Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) used for management of urinary stones. At this intensity and at appropriate dosing energy transfer is thought to induce beneficial effects in human tissues. The proposed therapeutic...Read More

Characteristics of chronic rotator cuff tears include continuous loss of tendon structure as well as tendon elasticity, followed by a high failure rate after surgical reconstruction. Several studies have already shown the beneficial effect of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) on tissue regeneration in tendon pathologies. Click here to read more.Read More

Shockwave is a rapid, short duration acoustic wave that carries energy and can propagate through tissue medium. This kind of physical force can be a mechanical stimulus that induces biological effects in living tissue. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) acts as a mechanical stimulus which promotes biological healing processes through a mechanotransduction. The biological effects of...Read More

Extracorporeal softwave therapy (ESWT) is widely used in clinical practice. In addition to its original use in kidney stone disintegration, shock waves are now used for the treatment of a variety of regenerative indications. Mechanotransduction stimulates the body’s biological healing processes at the cellular level. In areas of wound healing, orthopaedics or erectile dysfunction, very...Read More

Chronic tendonitis, or tendinopathy, is a degenerative condition marked by ongoing pain and reduced function. Repeated strain and incomplete healing often disrupt tendon structure, leaving patients with persistent inflammation and limited mobility. While injections are frequently used as a chronic tendonitis treatment, their impact is usually short-lived. This gap in lasting care highlights the need...Read More

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome (TTS) is a compression neuropathy of the posterior tibial nerve as it passes through the tarsal tunnel, a fibro-osseous canal located posterior to the medial malleolus. This condition is often underdiagnosed and can lead to chronic neuropathic pain, sensory disturbances, and functional impairment if not managed appropriately. What is Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome?...Read More

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a prevalent condition affecting millions worldwide, characterized by pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand and wrist. Left untreated, CTS can lead to significant functional limitations, impacting quality of life and daily activities. Fortunately, advancements in medical devices have revolutionized the way clinicians manage this condition. From modulating inflammation to...Read More

Shockwave therapy has emerged as a powerful non-invasive treatment modality for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. Clinicians and medical professionals use two primary types of shockwave machines: focused shockwave therapy machines and radial shockwave therapy machines. Though they both operate on the principle of delivering acoustic energy to the body’s tissues, their mechanisms of...Read More

Cardiac shockwave therapy leads to the regeneration of heart tissue after coronary bypass surgery, a study published in the prominent European Heart Journal showed.Read More

Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses pressure waves to stimulate metabolism, enhance blood circulation, and accelerate healing processes. By delivering acoustic pneumatic pulses into affected tissues, EPAT promotes repair and regeneration. It is applied across various musculoskeletal conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), shoulder tendinitis,...Read More
