Overview- Radial pressure waves offer a non-invasive therapeutic option for tendon insertion and soft tissue pathologies.
- Local treatment of the affected area aims to modulate healing responses, reduce pain and restore function.
- With minimal adverse effects, radial pressure wave therapy is indicated for conditions that are often difficult to treat and is used in multiple clinical applications.
- Physiological effects include pain modulation (Gate Control theory), increased cellular metabolism, revascularization promoting tissue repair and recovery of muscle tone.
Intended useThe device is intended as a clinical therapeutic modality for healthcare professionals to treat pain, myofascial trigger points, disorders of tendon insertions, and to activate muscle and connective tissue.
Indications for use- Myofascial Trigger Points (MTrP)
- Localization and deactivation of trigger points (low energy ~2 bar for localization; higher energy ~3 bar for deactivation)
- Activation of muscle and connective tissue
- Increased local circulation
- Pulse vibration massage for relief of muscle strain
- Disorders of tendon insertions
- Plantar fasciitis, heel pain, heel spur
- Tendinosis calcarea / supraspinatus tendon (shoulder calcifications, chronic shoulder pain)
- Lateral and medial epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
- Achillodynia (Achilles tendon inflammation-related pain)
- Retropatellar pain syndrome
- Tibial edge syndrome
- Proximal iliotibial band friction syndrome / trochanteric insertion tendinopathy
