Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a powerful, non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to relieve pain and promote healing in injured tissues. At Solaceum Quick Relief, we offer two types of shock wave therapy: Radial Shock Wave Therapy (RSWT) and Focused Shock Wave Therapy (FSWT). Both therapies are effective, but they are used for different types of pain and injuries.

Radial Shock Wave Therapy (RSWT)

Best For:

• Muscle pain
• Heel pain (Plantar fasciitis)
• Tennis elbow
• Achilles tendinitis
• Muscle tightness and spasms

How It Works:

• RSWT uses energy that spreads out broadly, covering a larger area with lower intensity.
• It targets shallow tissues (0-3 cm) and works well for surface-level pain.

Key Benefits:

• Helps relax muscles and relieves tension.
• Affordable option for treating general musculoskeletal pain.
• Covers a larger area, making it ideal for treating sports injuries and conditions like foot pain management and shoulder injury treatment.

Side Effects:

• Mild pain or discomfort during or after treatment.
• Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising.

Session Duration and Frequency:

• Sessions last 10–15 minutes.
• Typically requires 3–6 sessions (spaced weekly).

Focused Shock Wave Therapy (FSWT)

Best For:

• Shoulder tendon pain (Calcific tendinitis)
• Deep muscle injuries (Hamstrings, gluteal muscles)
• Bone fractures that aren’t healing
• Erectile dysfunction (vascular issues)
• Chronic muscle stiffness and spasms

How It Works:

• FSWT focuses energy on a specific point with higher intensity, targeting deeper tissues (up to 12 cm).
• Ideal for more chronic conditions and deep injuries that need more precise treatment.

Key Benefits:

• Targets deeper tissues and specific areas more effectively.
• Helps promote healing for bone fractures, deep tissue injuries, and chronic conditions.
• Ideal for advanced sports injuries, neck and back pain relief, and chronic pain treatment without medication.

Side Effects:

• May feel more intense during treatment.
• Risk of mild nerve irritation.
• Rare, but a slight risk of tendon injury if misused.

Session Duration and Frequency:

• Sessions last 10–20 minutes.
• Typically requires 1–3 sessions (spaced a few weeks apart).
