Radial pressure waves offer a non-invasive treatment solution for long term insertion and soft tissue pathologies.Local treatment of the affected area will enhance and reset the healing pattern while reducing pain and improving function.With very few negative side effects, Radial Pressure Wave therapy is indicated for conditions that are normally very difficult to treat and is now widely used for many therapeutic and wellness applications.Physical effects of radial pressure waves include: pain reduction (Gate Control theory), increased metabolism, as shockwaves influence the tissues on a cellular level, revascularization effect, where the renewed blood flow promotes tissue healing and regeneration, and muscle tone recovery.Indications:Intended use:The device is intended to be used as a therapeutic modality by clinicians needing to provide patients with a powerful and a proven method of treating indications as pain, Myofascial trigger points, Disorders of tendon insertions, activation of muscle and connective tissue.Indications for use:Radial pressure wave therapy is indicated for the following: Myofascial Trigger Points (MTrP) Localizing and Deactivating Trigger Points Triggers are localized at the low energy level (approximately 2 bar) by passing the transmitter over the muscle region being treated (increased sensitivity to pain) and then deactivated using a higher energy level (approximately 3 bar). Activation of Muscle and Connective Tissue Increasing Circulation Promotes blood flow through the tissue and boosting metabolism.Pulse Vibration MassageSoothing relief from muscle strain and stress.
