What is Focused Shockwave Therapy? Focused Shockwave Therapy (FST) is a modern, non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to target areas of pain and promote healing in muscles, tendons, and joints. It’s a quick, drug-free solution for chronic pain and injuries (Park et al., 2017).

Why Choose Shockwave Therapy?

  1. Non-Surgical & Drug-Free: FST is a safe alternative to surgery, injections, and pain medications. It provides relief without the need for invasive treatments (Speed, 2014).
  2. Pain Relief: The sound waves help reduce pain by improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and speeding up the healing process (Rompe et al., 2009).
  3. Faster Healing: FST stimulates the body’s natural healing process, helping your tissues recover more quickly from injuries (Maier et al., 2003).
  4. Improved Mobility: This therapy can help restore flexibility and range of motion, allowing you to move with less pain and more ease (Liu et al., 2019).
  5. Treats a Variety of Conditions: FST is effective for:
    • Tendonitis and tendon injuries (Speed, 2014)
    • Plantar fasciitis (Rompe et al., 2009)
    •  Tennis elbow (Maier et al., 2003)
    •  Achilles tendon pain (Liu et al., 2019)
  6. Quick & Minimal Recovery: Most people feel better after just a few sessions with little to no downtime. You can get back to your routine faster than with other treatments (Park et al., 2017).

How Does It Work? Using a special device, sound waves are directed at the problem area. These waves stimulate blood flow and cell repair, which helps reduce pain and speed healing (Rompe et al., 2009).
