What are Focus shockwaves?

Shock waves are audible high-energy sound waves. Since as long ago as 1980, they have been successfully used in medicine to treat many conditions, one such application being orthopaedic pain management.

Why is this procedure known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy? The term »extracorporeal« means »outside the body«, which is where these shock waves are generated. A therapy device is used to introduce them into the body, where they exert their effect. Depending on the field of application, the waves may be applied at either high or low doses. A major benefit of this treatment option is that, it is almost risk-free, pain-free and free from side effects.

he focused shockwave treats near-surface as well as deep targeted areas in the body. Focused shockwaves offer a small focal point, and can be used to target very specific areas.

This means they treat problems while limiting the damage to skin and underlying soft tissues. This is why it is imperative to treat urological dysfunctions with Focus Shockwaves. FSW deploys opposing magnetic fields to agitate a submerged membrane, generating a pressure wave within the area without losing any energy in the focused area of tissue.

Shockwave therapy can be effectively applied for the treatments for Erectile Dysfunction (ED) of vascular origin, Induratio Penis Plastica (IPP) and Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS).

Erectile dysfunction (ED) which can have many underlying causes, generally linked to underlying health conditions such as Diabetes, renal failure, COPD and vascular disease. Disorders like these can restrict blood flow to the penis. Men typically turn to medications like Viagra to provide temporary solutions.

Focused generated waves improve the blood flow in the penis by dissolving plaque buildup and promoting the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis). Unline medication this is treating the root cause and can provide lasting effects in patients. If there are external causes of the condition, such as diet and exercise, are addressed, the effects can even be permanent!

Scientific studies have proven the healing success of focused shock waves for these indications. The effectiveness of this modern shock wave equipment is determined by the individually selectable, dynamic and powerful energy range and the therapeutic depth of focus that can be chosen. Deep-lying areas can be treated easily. With its large focus zone it is easy to access these areas with a high degree of accuracy. These technical features also demonstrate the superiority of the treatment in comparison with other ESWT machines: due to the depth of focus, shock waves only have to be applied on one side of the penis
