Shockwave therapy is a non surgical treatment in which sound energy is targeted to specific damaged tissues within the abnormal area. This is believed to cause a pro-inflammatory response by increasing the blood flow within the affected area, stimulating cell regeneration and healing, and decreasing local factors which can cause pain.

Shockwave Pro™ is developed by an FDA-registered manufacturer and holds a 510(k) exempt status. This means the device is pre-registered with the FDA, ensuring it meets specific safety and efficacy standards required for medical devices used in therapeutic treatments.

Providers may choose to return the device within 30 days of receipt for any reason, provided:

• The unit shows no noticeable signs of wear and tear.
• The device has not exceeded 2,000 impulses.

Moreover, Shockwave Pro™ includes a one-year full manufacturer’s warranty covering any defects or failures, excluding user-induced damage (e.g., drops, lack of surge protection, water damage). In case of issues within the warranty period, a replacement (loaner) unit will be dispatched immediately while the original is repaired.

Yes, Shockwave Pro™ offers adjustable wave power and depth settings (0.5 cm to 12 cm), allowing for customized treatments that can target both superficial and deep tissue structures effectively.

It is a tool for treating chronic pain with a long chain of clinical evidence demonstrating high success rates for patients. In addition, your patients will need fewer treatments that take less than 10 minutes each.

Although both shockwave technologies produce the same therapeutic effects, a focused shockwave allows for an adjustable depth of penetration with constant maximum intensity, making the therapy suitable for treating both superficial and deep-lying tissues.

A radial shockwave allows changing the nature of the shock by using different types of shockwave transmitters. However, the maximum intensity is always concentrated superficially, which makes this therapy suitable for the treatment of superficially lying soft tissues.

You may see many different terms used for shockwave therapy, including ESWT (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy), acoustic wave therapy, radial shockwave therapy, and focused/linear shockwave therapy (F-SW). However, not all shockwave therapies are the same. Only focused shockwave therapy devices are approved to be used by the regulatory body for treating sexual health conditions. Focused shockwave treatment provides a targeted treatment that reaches the cellular level of your condition.

Typically, a focused shockwave treatment would take no more than 10 minutes. Most patients typically need about 3-5 sessions for long-lasting therapeutic results. However, the number of sessions can vary based on the patient's condition, the medical specialist’s recommendations, and the desired therapy outcomes.

There are various benefits to choosing focused shockwave treatment over other types of shockwave treatment options. Focused shockwave treatment is a non-invasive, painless procedure that doesn’t require any numbing creams. Most of our patients can return to their daily activities once they are through with the treatment. Some additional benefits include:

• No Pain
• No Invasive Surgery
• No Anesthetic
• No Risk of Infection
• No Scars
• No Pills or Drugs
• No Downtime
• 80-90% Efficiency

The treatment itself can be painful during the application of the ESWT. The treatment is delivered according to patient response, if a patient is unable to tolerate the pain levels the settings will adjusted to reduce the discomfort. A mild ache may occur later that day but should pass after a day. A patient may therefore take analgesic pain relief such as paracetamol before or after attending the session. NSAID's are not recommended during treatment.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) have deemed this procedure to be safe treatment option with minimal reported side effects. You will experience some pain during the treatment, but you should be able to tolerate this. Following the treatment,there is a small chance you may experience some temporary redness or bruising to the area which normally resolves quickly. There is a small risk of tendon rupture and damage to the soft tissue.

Shockwave therapy devices may require the following consumables for proper operation and maintenance:

1. Applicators or handpieces - Attachments that emit shockwaves and may need replacement due to wear and tear.
2. Transmission gel - Ensures optimal shockwave transmission into the tissue.
3. Disposable protective covers - Maintain hygiene and prevent cross-contamination between patients.
4. Coupling membranes - Help focus and transmit shockwaves (for certain devices).
5. Cleaning and disinfection supplies - Maintain device hygiene and functionality.

Shockwave Pro™ comes with a one-year warranty that covers any manufacturing defects, ensuring peace of mind and protection for your investment.
