Elettronica Pagani E-SWT
shock-wave
The recent introduction of shock-waves therapy has changed the therapeutic approach and the therapeutic possibilities of several pathologies relating to the muscles, tendons and also articulations. Shock-wave is defined as an acoustic wave made by a high peak pressure that can be regulated in a small frequency range. On the front of the wave, the positive pressures quickly increases from the value of the environmental pressure to that of the maximum pressure. This is generally followed by a shorter period of negative pressure.
The advantages of Shock-waves
The use of shock-wave therapy is increasing rapidly, it has evolved and adapted to the various therapeutic purposes. Today ESWT is one of the best and versatile expression of the modern apparatuses for shock-wave therapy.
More powerful
The intensity is largely enough for getting benefits in treating muscles, tendons and the small articulations.
Less painful
Pain is now more contained and haematomas are significantly reduced due to the best distribution of the energy.
More effective
Controlled and higher energy can be transferred onto the various tissues without causing big pain and bad feeling; all the properties of shock-waves such as pain reduction, increasing of local vascular processes, stimulation of collagen are present.
