Focus Shockwave Therapy (FSWT) –Applications
Focus Shockwave Therapy (FSWT) is a high-energy, deeply penetrating** treatment used for chronic, calcified, and deep musculoskeletal conditions. Unlike radial shockwaves, it delivers **precisely targeted energy**, making it ideal for stubborn cases where other treatments fail.
1. Orthopedic & Tendon Conditions
A. Chronic Tendinopathy
Rotator Cuff Calcific Tendinitis (shoulder) – *Breaks down calcium deposits & reduces pain
Achilles Tendinopathy (mid-portion & insertional)-Stimulates tendon healing
Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper’s Knee) – Improves collagen remodeling
Plantar Fasciitis (Chronic Cases)– More effective than radial shockwave for deep fibrosis
Gluteal Tendinopathy / Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome– Reduces inflammation & promotes healing
B. Ligament & Joint Issues
Lateral & Medial Epicondylitis (Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow) – Especially useful for chronic, recalcitrant cases
Hip & Shoulder Bursitis – Reduces inflammation in deep bursae
Pubic Symphysis Pain (Athletes, Postpartum) – Helps with osteitis pubis & adductor tendinopathy
2. Bone Healing & Non-Unions
Delayed Bone Union / Non-Union Fractures – Stimulates osteogenesis (bone regrowth)
Stress Fractures (Athletes, Military) – Accelerates healing in tibia, metatarsals, etc.
Avascular Necrosis (Early Stages) – Promotes revascularization in femoral head, knee, etc.

3. Sports Medicine & Athletic Recovery
Chronic Muscle Strains (Hamstring, Quadriceps, Calf)– Helps with scar tissue remodeling
Myofascial Pain Syndrome (Deep Trigger Points) – More effective than radial shockwave for deep muscles
Shin Splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)** – Reduces periosteal irritation
4. Other Specialized Applications
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) – Vascular & Neurogenic Types – Improves blood flow via neovascularization
Cellulite & Skin Tightening (in combination with other therapies)
Chronic Wound Healing – Stimulates angiogenesis in diabetic ulcers
Conditions Where Focus Shockwave Outperforms Radial Shockwave
When NOT to Use Focus Shockwave
✖Superficial conditions(radial shockwave is better)
✖ Acute infections or tumors
✖ Pregnancy (near abdomen/pelvis)
✖ Blood clotting disorders / Anticoagulant therapy
✖ Direct application over nerves, lungs, or major blood vessels
