Shockwave Therapy

Piezowave2 Focused Shockwave Therapy 

What is shockwave?

Focused shockwave (f-ESWT) harnesses high energy sound waves which are delivered precisely to your injury to activate tissue repair mechanisms at a cellular level. 

Using piezo electric crystals precisely arranged in a concave bowl within the therapy source, the Piezowave2 produces high-energy sound waves which are focused to a shockwave at precise depths. The Piezowave2 is the only DIRECT focused shockwave meaning the energy is not bounced or reflected to create the focused every which means you get the most….

Are all shockwave technologies the same? Focused versus Radial 

Focused 

Focused Shockwaves generates the energy outside the body and is then delivered to a focal target area deep inside the body. Piezowave2 is the only technology that can create a shockwave which forms direct at the focus of treatment to ensure the delivered energy is maintained. 

Radial

Radial Shockwaves are actually pressure waves and differ considerably from focused shockwaves. The energy spreads radially on contact with tissues and the density of energy dissipates rapidly through the top layers of the skin reducing penetration depth. This makes Radial systems unsuitable for targeted deeper areas classically associated with ESWT applications.

Radial shockwave is not as accurate, powerful or as comfortable as focused shockwave.
