What is FSWT?
Focused Shock Wave Therapy (FSWT) is an advanced treatment method that uses high-energy shock waves directed deep into tissues to accelerate healing and reduce pain. Unlike traditional shock wave therapy, FSWT can reach up to 8 cm deeper into tissue, offering effective treatment for various musculoskeletal disorders.
It is commonly used as a primary treatment option for conditions such as erectile dysfunction in men, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis (heel spurs), and non-healing bone fractures.
Benefits of Focused Shock Wave Therapy
-
Enhances Deep Tissue Blood Flow:
By targeting shock waves to deep tissues, FSWT increases blood circulation. It is particularly beneficial in reactivating tissues in conditions like avascular necrosis. -
Effective in Non-Healing Fractures:
FSWT promotes bone healing by stimulating the ends of non-union fractures, offering a non-surgical solution. -
Accelerates Recovery:
It supports faster healing in joint, tendon, and bone injuries, as well as in sports-related trauma. -
Improves Erectile Dysfunction in Men:
FSWT provides a lasting and effective alternative or complement to medication in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, which is increasingly common. -
Supports Collagen and Elastin Production:
By stimulating cellular activity, FSWT enhances the production of collagen and elastin, aiding tissue and skin regeneration. -
Stimulates Bone Formation:
The focused energy activates biological processes that promote new bone growth.
