Shock waves are acoustic waves carrying a high amount of energy through the tissues, that irradiate in the body until reaching the sore area. Shock waves are characterized by a rapid change in pressure, with great amplitude and non-periodicity.
The amount of energy that is transferred to the tissue is much higher than the energy produced by ultrasounds.
Our body reacts to the shock waves passing through it by increasing the metabolic activities in the treated area and facilitating the reduction of the inflammation caused by an analgesic effect induced by the local release of endorphins.
The healing process is thus stimulated and accelerated.
Our devices emit a radial (ballistic) shock wave, since the wave is generated by a special pistol-shaped probe, whose barrel is closed at its end by a metallic cap; a steel bullet is shot against this cap using compressed air (max pressure 5 bar).
The supraspinatus tendonitis is an increasingly common and painful pathology. This pathology, which involves the shoulder, is nothing but an inflammation of the supraspinatus muscle. It can cause very intense pain and functional and motor [...]
Plantar Fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain. This disease occurs mainly among athletes or who spend most of their day on their feet. Our foot consists of a long ligament, plantar fascia, [...]
The trochanteric bursitis is a femur inflammation; its name belongs to its effects on the mocous bursitis of the greater trochanter.
