How ShockWave works

Key features of OUR High Energy Focused ShockWave

1. ENERGY: Our equipment is HIGH ENERGY ESWT ShockWave. The energy emitted by the treatment head is expressed in Bar or HectoPascal. Both a measure of PRESSURE. This ShockWave is the strongest and most effective (and therefore unfortunately also the most expensive, also in terms of maintenance) ever produced and later models have been made cheaper for marketing reasons, but unfortunately also weaker. And that is a shame, because it is precisely that pressure in the depth of your condition that determines the response, or the healing effect in the tissue and therefore the improvement in resilience. Plus the sustainable improvement, because the tissue is actually "converted" in an improved way. And that's what you want...!

2. FOCUS: it is FOCUSED ShockWave, which means: all energy goes in bundled. So superficially you don't lose anything and you obviously don't want that either. So all the energy ends up where you want it: at the condition or the calcifications...!

IMPORTANT: Many physiotherapists use so-called UNFOCUSED LOW ENERGY RSWT [R stands for Radial ShockWave] equipment, but they call this 'ShockWave'. So confusing for the patient. However, this (much cheaper) equipment does not have nearly the power of our High Energy ESWT and mainly works on the surface.

This form of therapy, which works with a type of gun with a compressor (so-called ballistic type), is unable to crush lime due to its different pulse shape [too long, and not enough pressure build-up!] and the energy is very much transferred to the surface. As a result, according to the literature, the effects that can be expected from treatment with this type of device are much smaller for most treatment indications. In particular, it has been shown in the literature that this form has little influence on deeper indications, such as shoulder calcification and heel spur complaints. And those are precisely the 2 main indications!

You also want the BEST treatment, right?

Then choose this ESWT ShockWave…!
