Radial Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy

Radial Pressure Pulse Therapy is also known as Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Therapy, the model LGT-2500F is a compressed air operated ballistic pulse energy generator transferring pulse energy to the transmitter in the hand piece. The motion and weight of the projectile accelerated by compressed air producing kinetic energy that is converted into pulse energy when the projectile strikes an unmoved surface (transmitter). This acoustic pulse energy is transformed into impact energy from the contact area into the therapeutic target tissue radiantly.

Research has shown that radial pulse wave therapy (shockwave) can effectively treat various tissue disorders in the extremities. This therapy can be a therapeutic tool for tendinopathies, “with success rates reported in the literature up to 91%” for conditions such as:

• Rotator cuff tendinitis (shoulder)
• Trocanteritis bursitis (a common type of chronic hip pain)
• Achilles tendinitis (the Achilles tendon)
• Plantar fasciitis (inflamed tissue across the bottom of the foot near the heel)
• Patellar tendonitis (often called jumper’s knee or runner’s knee)
• Lateral elbow epicondylitis (commonly known as tennis elbow).
