Focused shockwave therapy (FSWT) is one of the few methods that allows real impact on the pathological focus, such as the source of pain. The method is a non-invasive alternative to surgical treatment for a number of conditions.
ESWT – a modern and effective method of treatment using “shock” acoustic waves in traumatology, neurology, and urology.
Low-frequency acoustic impulses initiate restorative processes in human tissues

In the 1990s, the technique was first applied to pseudoarthrosis (false joint), poorly healing fractures, “heel spur,” and diseases of ligaments and tendons. The treatment results caused a real sensation in the medical community. Shockwave therapy firmly entered the practice of orthopedic doctors, traumatologists, neurologists, urologists, physiotherapists, sports medicine specialists, dermatologists, and cosmetologists.

Mechanism of Action of Shockwave Therapy

The wave itself affects soft tissues through oscillation and cavitation. This initially leads to local tissue damage, up to the destruction of the extracellular matrix at high energies (which is not always necessary), and inflammation. Then, against the background of local damage, a pronounced regenerative reaction is formed, leading to improved blood supply, including through the growth of new vessels, and the restoration of connective tissue cells, muscle fibers, and bones. This has a favorable effect on recovery from injuries, sprains, tears, and even in cases of complex bone fractures. A direct analgesic effect is observed – pain reduction occurs right during the procedure (which also depends on the intensity of the wave, which is adjusted by the doctor individually). Studies have been published showing the effect of better division and growth of stem cells during shock wave therapy.

Indications for MRI-guided focused ultrasound

– Myofascial syndrome – acute and chronic pain in the back, neck, shoulders, thighs – Recent and old injuries to muscles, ligaments, tendons, and their consequences – Enthesopathies – diseases of tendon attachment sites – Urological disorders: Peyronie’s disease, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, erectile dysfunction – Cellulite, stretch marks, scars, ulcers, and skin burns – Weight loss The effect of the wave is directed at breaking down fibrous formations and accelerating metabolism . This is one of the painless and safe methods for eliminating cellulite and localized fat deposits with their natural subsequent removal from the body. New indications for shockwave therapy emerge annually, and treatment protocols are being improved.

Key advantages of this method

– Quick and Long-lasting Treatment Effect. You will forget about pain after the first procedure and enjoy life without limitations – Does not require surgical intervention or medication. Focused shockwave therapy uses the energy of ultrasound waves and therefore has no contraindications or dangerous side effects – Eliminates the cause of pain, not just the symptoms, ensuring a lasting positive impact on the body – Ability to treat a wide range of conditions, including osteochondrosis, arthritis, tendinitis, muscle pain, and many others – High success rate – more than 85% of procedures successfully help relieve pain syndromes.We look forward to seeing you for focused shockwave therapy procedures at our clinic!#FocusedShockwaveTherapy #BuzaevClinic #MechanismOfActionFUVT #IndicationsFUVT
