EMFOCUS Electromagnetic Focused Shockwave System for Sports Injury Recovery Chronic Pain Management and Rehabilitation Therapy

EMFOCUS Electromagnetic Focused Shockwave System for Sports Injury Recovery Chronic Pain Management and Rehabilitation Therapy

What Is EMFOCUS Focused Shockwave Therapy?

The EMFOCUS Focused Shockwave System is a non-invasive therapeutic platform based on electromagnetic focused shockwave technology, designed to deliver high-energy acoustic pulses precisely into deep musculoskeletal and vascular tissues. By concentrating mechanical energy at a controlled focal depth, EMFOCUS initiates a cascade of biological responses that support pain reduction, tissue regeneration, microcirculation improvement, and functional recovery, making it suitable for rehabilitation medicine, sports therapy, orthopedics, and selected urological applications. This system is developed for clinics and rehabilitation centers seeking effective, evidence-based shockwave therapy with high precision and operational stability.

System Technology Overview

• Shockwave Type: Focused shockwave

• Generation Method: Electromagnetic induction

• Energy Medium: Water-based acoustic transmission

• Focusing Mode: Deep focal convergence

• Clinical Positioning: Non-invasive physical therapy and rehabilitation

Focused shockwave technology enables energy to be delivered beneath the skin surface, reaching pathological tissues without damaging superficial layers.

Electromagnetic Focused Shockwave Working Principle (In-Depth)

1. Electromagnetic Induction Mechanism

The EMFOCUS system utilizes an electromagnetic coil–membrane structure to generate controlled shockwave pulses.

• When electrical current flows through the electromagnetic coil, a rapidly alternating magnetic field is created.

• This magnetic field induces eddy currents in a metallic membrane positioned opposite the coil.

• The induced currents cause the membrane to accelerate abruptly away from the coil.

• This rapid displacement produces a high-pressure acoustic pulse within the surrounding water medium.

This method allows precise control of:

• Pulse intensity

• Pressure peak

• Energy consistency

• Repetition frequency

2. Focused Acoustic Energy Transmission

After generation, the acoustic pulse is:

• Transmitted through a water-filled chamber

• Concentrated by an acoustic focusing structure

• Delivered to a defined focal point within biological tissue

The focused design allows:

• Penetration depth up to 65 mm

• Targeted treatment of deep tissues

• Reduced stress on non-target areas

• Lower mechanical impact on adjacent bones

3. Cavitation and Mechanical Stimulation

As shockwaves propagate through tissue fluids:

• Microbubbles form due to rapid pressure changes

• These bubbles collapse instantly

• Collapse generates localized secondary pressure waves

This cavitation phenomenon enhances:

• Cellular stimulation

• Microcirculation activation

• Controlled micro-trauma that triggers repair mechanisms

Therapeutic Biological Responses

Mechanical-to-Biological Signal Conversion

Focused shockwaves convert mechanical energy into biological signals through mechanotransduction, influencing cellular behavior at the molecular level.

Growth Factor Activation

Shockwave stimulation promotes the release of regenerative mediators such as:

• VEGF, supporting angiogenesis and blood vessel formation

• BMPs, involved in bone and connective tissue repair

These responses contribute to:

• Accelerated tissue regeneration

• Improved oxygen and nutrient supply

• Enhanced collagen synthesis

Analgesic Effect via Neural Modulation

High-energy acoustic pulses temporarily overstimulate sensory nerve endings, leading to:

• Reduced transmission of pain signals

• Immediate pain relief in treated areas

• Improved tolerance to movement and rehabilitation exercises

Anti-Inflammatory Regulation

Focused shockwave therapy helps regulate inflammatory mediators, reducing chronic inflammation often associated with degenerative and overuse conditions.

Long-Term Clinical Benefits

Focused Shockwave Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction

Mechanism of Action

Erectile dysfunction is closely linked to vascular insufficiency and endothelial dysfunction. Focused shockwave therapy addresses these underlying factors by stimulating neovascularization and improving penile blood flow.

Shockwave-induced mechanical stress:

• Activates angiogenic pathways

• Enhances endothelial cell function

• Improves smooth muscle response

Treatment Advantages

• Non-invasive, no anesthesia required

• Suitable for in-office treatment

• Compatible with patients using nitrates

• Typical protocol: 6–12 sessions

• Progressive improvement during and after treatment

• Effects may continue to develop up to 3 months post-therapy

• Repeatable treatment with minimal side effects

Preparation & Operation FAQ

How is water added to the system?

Please follow the official operation video when filling water into the system.

How often should water be replaced?

Water should be replaced every two weeks to maintain system performance:

1. Drain existing water

2. Refill with clean water

Why is water required for operation?

The system relies on a water-based acoustic transmission environment to ensure accurate shockwave propagation. Water is removed before shipment to prevent leakage during transportation.

What type of water should be used?

Only distilled or purified water should be used. Impurities in regular water may cause scaling and affect the cooling and transmission system.
