Focused shockwave therapy offers a significant step up in capability in comparison to radial shockwave therapy. There are very few focused shockwaves in the UK. For more information on the differences between radial & focused shockwaves.
Radial shockwave provides fast and effective treatment for:
Focused shockwave is very different to radial shockwave. Radial shockwaves are greatest at the skin surface and then weaken as they diverge within the body, limiting their use to treating conditions up to 3 cm deep.
Â
Focused shockwaves converge as they penetrate the body, reaching their maximum energy at the focus point, around 12.5cm deep. The actual treatment depth is adjustable by spacers, thus allowing treatment at any depth up to 12.5 cm.
Focused shockwave can deliver far more energy than radial shockwave and with far greater precision. As a result, focused shockwave can treat many conditions that are not possible with radial shockwave.
Focused shockwaves are high-energy sound waves that are delivered deep into damaged tissue with high precision. These high-energy waves increase blood flow, improve overall cell structure, stimulate stem cells, release growth factors and have an analgesic effect whilst stimulating the body’s natural repair and regeneration processes.

For most, treatment of conditions such as tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, or shin splints would be too painful with radial shockwave, and healing of a fractured bone would not be realistic with radial shockwave. Focussed shockwave offers treatment with far less pain.

Faster and better results have been witnessed by combining focused shockwave with EMTT treatment. Find out more about EMTT here
