True Focused Shockwave Therapy

True Focused Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), works by sending high-energy acoustic sound waves through the skin to the injured tissues, creating microtrauma that stimulates the body’s natural healing process, increasing blood flow. This promotes tissue regeneration and reduces pain. This non-invasive treatment uses a special handheld device that delivers precise acoustic energy pulses to the affected area, often feeling like clicks or taps.

Mechanism of Action

• Energy Output: Our Chattanooga Intelect F-SW unit uses D-Ionized water to create a projectile that strikes an applicator head, generating mechanical shockwaves that travel into the body.
• Cellular Response: These shockwaves create micro-trauma in the tissue, stimulating stem cells.
• Improved Circulation: The therapy promotes the formation of new blood vessels, enhancing blood flow and increasing the delivery of oxygen and essential nutrients to the affected area.
• Tissue Regeneration: The stimulation of stem cells and growth factors jumpstarts the body’s natural healing response.
• Pain Relief (Analgesic Effect): The acoustic energy helps reduce pain by influencing nerve endings (nociceptors) and modulating pain signals.
• Breakdown of Calcifications: In certain conditions, such as calcific tendinitis, the treatment may assist in breaking down calcium deposits.
