WHAT IS FOCUSED SHOCK WAVE THERAPY?
In the world of regenerative medicine, Focused Intelect Shock Wave (F-SW) therapy by Chattanooga® stands out as a gold standard in noninvasive regenerative medical treatments. The Chattanooga® system delivers high-energy acoustic waves to treat and repair various musculoskeletal conditions in hard-to-reach places where other therapies have failed.
When these focused, high-energy acoustic waves are delivered to the affected body area, they reach deeper into tissues, stimulating the body's natural healing processes in a new and fresh way.
Treatment results in increased blood flow via neovascularization, enhanced neurological conduction, and connective tissue regeneration, culminating in better strength, mobility, and coordination. By stimulating the formation of new blood vessels and the production of new collagen fibers in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joint capsules, F-SW therapy helps repair and strengthen damaged tissues even long after an injury occurs.
CONDITIONS TREATED BY SHOCKWAVE
Focused Shockwave (F-SW) therapy is commonly used to treat musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those involving chronic pain and inflammation. Although certainly not an intensive list, some common conditions that F-SW therapy may be helpful for include:
Plantar Fasciitis
This condition commonly causes pain in the heel and along the bottom of the foot. F-SW therapy has been shown to effectively reduce pain and improve function in patients with plantar fasciitis.
Tendinitis/osis
Tendinitis or tendinosis is inflammation of a tendon, either due to an acute injury, chronic wear and tear, and/or inappropriate recovery from a previous injury. There are subtle but very important differences between tendinitis and tendinosis, which change the types of treatment required to recover from them.
Tennis and Golfer's Elbow
Tennis and golfers' elbow refer to two conditions that cause pain and tenderness on either side of the elbow. Depending on the details and timeline surrounding either injury, they may be a type of tendinitis or tendinosis.
Frozen Shoulder
A condition that causes pain and stiffness in the shoulder joint, which may take several months to resolve. F-SW therapy may help to reduce pain and improve the range of motion in patients suffering from frozen shoulder, drastically reducing their recovery time.
Chronic Neck and Back Pain
F-SW therapy may help reduce pain and improve function in patients with chronic neck and back pain when the cause is musculoskeletal, particularly if other treatments have been unsuccessful.
Hip and Knee Pain
F-SW therapy may help treat pain and inflammation associated with hip and knee conditions due to impingement syndroms, tendinitis, tendinosis, and osteoarthritis.
It is important to note that while FSWT can effectively treat these conditions, it may not be suitable for everyone. The best way to determine if F-SW therapy is suitable for you is to consult with a qualified healthcare provider.
