FOCAL AND RADIAL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY

Focal and radial shockwave therapies use targeted acoustic energy to stimulate tissue regeneration, improve circulation, and accelerate healing. Together, they address both deep and surface-level tissue concerns, helping reduce pain, restore function, and enhance overall performance. These non-invasive treatments offer an effective, medication-free solution for improving mobility, supporting recovery, and promoting long-term wellness.

Focal and radial shockwave therapy are non-invasive treatments that use high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. These therapies can help reduce pain, improve circulation, and promote the body’s natural repair processes. Focal shockwave delivers targeted energy to deep tissues for precise treatment of specific injuries, while radial shockwave spreads energy over a broader area, making it ideal for larger or more superficial conditions.

Together, these therapies are effective for a variety of musculoskeletal issues, including plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, chronic joint pain, and sports-related injuries. Safe and minimally invasive, shockwave therapy can be used alone or alongside other treatments to accelerate recovery and restore function.

Focal Shockwave vs. Radial Shockwave Therapy

Focal Shockwave

Depth of Treatment: Targets deeper tissues, joints, tendon insertions, and bone-related areas
Energy Type: Focused, high-energy waves concentrated in a precise point
Best For: Chronic joint pain, deep trigger points, tendon disorders, and long-standing injuries
Sensation During Treatment: Feels like quick, deeper pulses
Treatment Goal: Stimulates deep tissue repair, collagen production, and long-term healing
Typical Use Case: Pinpoint, chronic, or hard-to-reach injuries

Radial Shockwave

Depth of Treatment: Works on more superficial tissues like muscles, fascia, and tendons
Energy Type: Broader, lower-energy waves that disperse over a larger area
Best For: Muscle tightness, myofascial pain, tendon irritation, and general soft-tissue soreness
Sensation During Treatment: Feels like rhythmic tapping or vibration
Treatment Goal: Improves circulation, reduces muscle tension, and supports overall recovery
Typical Use Case: Broader therapy for muscle recovery, tension, or widespread discomfort
