FOCUSED, UNFOCUSED AND LINEAR SHOCK-WAVES THERAPY

A SUCCESSFULLY TECHNIQUE
The recent introduction of extra-corporeal shock-waves therapy changed the general approach to several important
pathologies of bone but also particularly of tendons and muscles.

The innovative shock-waves transmission device designedby the

R&S laboratories of Elettronica Pagani, is made bya special

chamber where shock-wave is generated, con-trolled and

delivered outside from the applicator to the pa-tient thanks to a

special membrane which gets in touchwith patient’s skin

where energy density is transmittedover a quite large area

and is keeping around the samearea for 4-4,5 cm inside the

different soft tissues.

The main advantage of a quite large focus is that on thisway it is

possible to use therapeutic area able to involvenot only the

source of pathology, but also the surroundingarea, in order to

provoke biological process, such as neo-capillarogenis and antalgic

effects, which are able to ma-ke positive actions
