Why Opt for Focused Shockwave Therapy (F-ESWT)?

Focused Shockwave Therapy is highly effective for individuals dealing with chronic pain, deep tissue injuries, or calcifications that need precise, deep-reaching treatment. This therapy is especially beneficial for conditions such as chronic tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff injuries, and hip bursitis.

When paired with Radial Shockwave Therapy—which targets more superficial issues—Focused Shockwave Therapy offers a comprehensive solution to address both deep and surface-level injuries, enhancing your overall healing process.

Chronic Tendinitis Treatment
Focused Shockwave Therapy offers an effective solution for chronic tendinitis by targeting inflamed tendons deep within the tissue. This therapy stimulates healing, reduces pain, and supports recovery from conditions like Achilles tendinitis, tennis elbow, and shoulder tendinopathy—without the need for surgery or long-term medication.

Scar Tissue Reduction

Focused Shockwave Therapy is an excellent treatment for reducing stubborn scar tissue that restricts movement and causes discomfort. By breaking down the tough tissue and promoting collagen production, this therapy helps restore flexibility and improve mobility, all without the need for invasive procedures.

Calcification Breakdown

One of the standout benefits of Focused Shockwave Therapy is its ability to break down calcifications in soft tissues, such as the shoulders and hips. The focused waves dissolve calcium deposits, alleviating pain and stiffness while restoring range of motion and improving overall comfort.

Hip Bursitis Treatment

For chronic hip bursitis, Focused Shockwave Therapy targets inflamed bursae and the surrounding tissues, providing much-needed pain relief and improving hip function. With its deeper penetration compared to radial shockwaves, this therapy is perfect for treating conditions that affect the deeper layers of tissue.

Plantar Fasciitis Treatment

If you’re suffering from chronic plantar fasciitis, Focused Shockwave Therapy targets the underlying tissue, stimulating healing at a deeper level. The treatment helps break down scar tissue, reduces inflammation, and relieves heel pain, getting you back on your feet and back to enjoying your activities.

Deep Sports Injury Recovery

Athletes recovering from chronic injuries or deep muscle and tendon damage can benefit from Focused Shockwave Therapy. By targeting deep-seated tissues, this therapy helps speed up recovery, reduce inflammation, and decrease pain, so you can get back to your sport faster.
