A New Alternative for Pain Relief and Tissue Regeneration At PYONG Rehabilitation Clinic, we are committed to providing treatment with advanced technology to alleviate pain and disorders of the musculoskeletal system. One of the techniques we use is Focused Shockwave Therapy, a non-surgical treatment that effectively accelerates tissue regeneration and relieves pain.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical method that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate tissue regeneration, reduce pain, and increase mobility. This treatment is suitable for chronic pain and sports injuries, as it helps stimulate the body’s natural repair mechanisms.
The Difference Between Radial and Focused Shockwave Therapy
There are two main types of shockwave therapy:
- Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) – Delivers energy in a dispersed manner, suitable for general muscle pain.
- Focused Shockwave Therapy (FSWT) – Delivers energy to a specific, deep layer of muscle that requires treatment.
At PYONG Rehabilitation Clinic, we use Focused Shockwave Therapy with 3D Dynamic Focusing, an advanced technology that allows the energy to be dynamically focused according to the characteristics of the muscle layers. This makes it more effective than traditional Focused Shockwave Therapy, which has a fixed focal point.
Comparison of Shockwave Therapy Types
Benefits of Focused Shockwave Therapy with 3D Dynamic Focusing
- Non-Surgical: It’s a safe procedure with no risks from anesthesia or surgery.
- Heals Injuries and Reduces Pain: The therapy helps reduce inflammation, increase mobility, and accelerate the body’s natural healing process.
- Precise and Targeted: The energy level can be precisely adjusted to reach the specific depth of the muscle being treated.
- Convenient and Fast: Sessions are quick, and you can return to your normal daily activities immediately afterward.
Conditions Treatedby Focused Shockwave Therapy
Focused Shockwave Therapy can effectively treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Plantar Fasciitis: Chronic heel pain caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia.
- Tendinopathies: Conditions like Tennis Elbow, Patellar Tendinitis (jumper’s knee), or Trigger Finger.
- Calcific Tendinitis: Pain resulting from calcium deposits accumulating in a tendon.
- Stress Fractures: The therapy stimulates the bone’s natural formation and repair processes.
- Myofascial Pain Syndrome: Reduces pain in the muscles and connective tissue.
- Osteoarthritis (OA): It can help reduce inflammation and improve the function of the muscles and tendons around the knee joint without surgery.
The Focused Shockwave Therapy Treatment Process
- Initial Assessment: A doctor will first evaluate your symptoms and medical history.
- The Treatment: A gel is applied, and a handheld device is used to deliver shockwaves to the affected muscle.
- Treatment Duration: Each session takes approximately 5-10 minutes.
- Follow-Up: We evaluate your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. For best results, we generally recommend continuous treatment once a week.
