SmartWave Shock Wave Therapy Equipment
Shock Wave Therapy Equipment, ESWT extracorporeal shockwave therapy, also called Acoustic Wave Therapy Equipment, mainly for physical therapy treatment, sports injury and rehabitation treatment.
Alternative names: shock wave therapy (UHT) with a pneumatic source, shock wave extracorporeal therapy (UVECT), shock wave therapy, English: Shock Wave Therapy, Extracorporeal shockwave therapy. Shockwave therapy is a method of treating and preventing certain diseases with the help of high-energy acoustic waves. The method is used in many branches of medicine - in urology, in traumatology and orthopedics, in cosmetology.

Shockwave therapy is a relatively new treatment option in orthopedic and rehabilitation medicine. The effect of shockwaves was first documented during World War II when the lungs of castaways were noted to be damaged without any superficial evidence of trauma. It was discovered the shockwaves created by depth charges were responsible for the internal injuries. This created a great deal of interest and research into the biological effects of shockwaves on living tissue. The first medical treatment developed from this research was lithotripsy. This allowed focused shockwaves to essentially dissolve kidney stones without surgical intervention. Today, over 98% of all kidney stones are treated with this technology. The use of shockwaves to treat tendon related pain began in the early 1990s.A clinical shockwave is nothing more than a controlled explosion that creates a sonic pulse, much like an airplane breaking the sound barrier. The primary effect of a shockwave is a direct mechanical force. The exact mechanism by which shockwave therapy acts to treat tendon pathology is not known. The leading explanation is based on the inflammatory healing response. It is felt the shockwaves cause microtrauma to the diseased tendon tissue. This results in inflammation, which allows the body to send healing cells and increase the blood flow to the injured site.

Radial Shock Wave Therapy – A treatment for tendons
Uses for Radial Shock Wave Therapy
Radial Shock Wave Therapy (RSWT) is used for treatment of a tendon overuse injury, or “tendinopathy”.
This includes conditions such as Achilles pain, heel pain (plantar fasciitis), tennis elbow and painful calcium deposits in tendons (“calcific tendonitis”).
Background
Shock waves have been in use for medical purposes since the 1970s. Originally developed for treating stones in the urinary tract and salivary gland, shock waves were later used for treating soft tissue injuries in the 1990s. Research has demonstrated the effectiveness and safety of treatment with shock waves for musculoskeletal conditions including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy, gluteal tendinopathy and tennis elbow.
How it works
A radial shock wave is a low-medium energy pneumatic wave generated by an air compressor inside the device. At Narrabeen Sports & Exercise Medicine Centre we use radial shock waves which have a lower peak pressure and longer rise time than extracorporeal or focused shock waves. Radial shock waves have the benefit of being lower energy, hence less painful, and the radial nature of RSWT emission means the waves can propagate over a wider area of the body.
When applied to musculoskeletal tissue, the shock waves have been shown to stimulate the release of tissue growth factors, new blood vessel formation and stem cell activation, all of which promote tissue regeneration. Substance P, the messenger in pain nerve fibres is also depleted, resulting in the nerves being unable to transmit pain for a short period.
The treatment
Each treatment involves application of the hand-piece of the device to the affected tissue and the transmission of shock waves. We recommend a minimum of 3 treatments, approximately 1 week apart.
Benefits and advantages
- Non-invasive
- Decreases pain
- Improves function
- Can be used with other treatments apart from cortisone
- No down-time from sport or work is necessary
- Effects can be rapid
- Minimal side effects

THE NON-SURGICAL SOLUTION REDUCING PAIN, PROMOTING FASTER HEALING
Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) combines radial pressure waves, focused shockwaves and vibration therapy. It delivers simple, non-surgical treatment for chronic musculoskeletal problems, persistent pain or niggling joint issues, and it is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). Shockwave Therapy is clinically proven, covered by private health insurers, recognised by the top orthopeadic hospitals and used by high profile professional sports bodies such as the English Institute of Sport.
Shockwave therapy is a highly effective treatment for conditions such as Achilles Tendinopathy, Plantar Fasciitis and Calcific Tendonitis of the shoulder, to name a few. The therapy eliminates pain, restores full mobility and greatly improves quality of life, with beneficial effects typically experienced after only one or two sessions.
Shock Wave As Part Of Stem Cell Treatment
BIOLOGIC EFFECTS OF SHOCK WAVE ARE BELIEVED TO INCLUDE:
• Change of cell membrane permeability
• Release of neurotransmitters
• Antibacterial effects
• Release of NO (nitric oxide)
• Release of growth factors (VEGF, eNOS, BMP-2, PCNA)
• Induction of vessel growth
• Stem cell migration and differentiation
Discs: Cushioning discs between vertebrae can bulge or rupture. This may put pressure on nerves or the spinal cord, leading to pain or numbness in your neck, back, arms, or legs.
Nerves: Message-carrying nerves can become irritated, pinched, or stretched. This can cause pain, numbness, or tingling in your back or in other parts of your body.
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is used in a number of indications in the medical field. A number of tendinopathies show good and excellent results due to evidence based medicine. The treatment of lateral epicondylitis is known to show conflicting results. This overview of the published RCT's on ESWT for lateral epicondylitis tries to show the reasons for this conflicting data-base and point out, why we think that this is still a main indication for extracorporeal shockwave therapy.

What is Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology EPAT?
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) is the most advanced and highly effective non-invasive treatment method cleared by the USA approved. This proprietary technology is based on a unique set of pressure waves that stimulate the metabolism, enhance blood circulation and accelerate the healing process. Damaged tissue gradually regenerates and eventually heals.
This non-invasive office/clinic based procedure represents a breakthrough treatment option for a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions.
What disorders can be treated?
Generally, acute or chronic musculoskeletal pain and/or pain that significantly impairs mobility or quality of life including:
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Achilles Pain
- Tendon and/or tendon insertion pain
- Chronic Heel Pain
- Morton's Neuroma
- Trigger Points
What are the expected results?
The beneficial effects of EPAT are often experienced after only 3 treatments. Some patients report immediate pain relief after the treatment, although it can take up to four weeks for pain relief to begin. The procedure eliminates pain and restores full mobility, thus improving your quality of life. Over 80% of patients treated report to be pain free and/or have significant pain reduction.
Is it safe?
Yes. This USA approved cleared technology was developed in Europe and is currently used around the globe. A wealth of medical experience, state-of-the-art engineering and optimal quality have been built into each EPAT device, and extensive clinical studies and tests have confirmed its safety and efficacy.
When performed by a qualified caregiver, Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) has virtually no risks or side effects.
What is the duration of treatment and how many sessions will I need?
Treatment sessions take approximately 5-10 minutes depending on the disorder to be treated. Generally, 3 treatment sessions are necessary at weekly intervals.
How is the treament performed?
Coupling gel is applied to the treatment area of interest to enhance effectiveness. After these preparations, EPAT pressure waves are released via the applicator moved over the area of interest in a circular motion.
What are the possible side effects/complications?
The non-invasive EPAT treatment has virtually no risks or side effects. In some cases patients may experience some minor discomfort which may continue for a few days. It is normal to have some residual pain after intense exercise or a full day of work.
