Two Powerful Modalities

Radial & Focused Shockwave Therapy

Benefits Of

Shockwave Therapy

Radial shockwaves, also called soft shocks, use compressed air to generate pressure waves that deliver their greatest energy at the skin’s surface but lose intensity as they penetrate deeper. This makes them ideal for treating broad superficial conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow and Achilles tendon issues. Transmitters can address both local spots and wider areas by breaking up adhesions, releasing trigger points and accelerating the healing process.

In contrast, focused shockwaves, also known as hard shocks, use a cylindrical coil to generate high energy pulses that converge in a precise deep tissue focal zone, targeting calcifications, non unions and tendon pathologies close to bone while limiting damage to surrounding soft tissues.

Combining Therapies

At Pulse Therapy we seamlessly integrate radial and focused shockwave treatments into a single session when needed. This ensures each patient benefits from the ideal combination of surface coverage and deep-tissue penetration for optimal healing.

Target & Depth

Focused shockwaves concentrate high-energy pulses into deep structures (up to 12 cm) for bones, calcifications and non-unions, while radial waves disperse medium-energy pulses across superficial soft tissues (up to ~4 cm).

Non-Invasive & Zero Downtime

Both modalities avoid surgery. Radial guarantees zero downtime and immediate return to activity, and focused delivers precision with only mild, brief discomfort.

Biological Stimulation

Focused therapy drives deep growth-factor release, angiogenesis and tissue regeneration; radial therapy enhances superficial microcirculation and fibroblast activation.

Adjustable Penetration

Swappable focused attachments let you dial in deep targets to 12 cm, and radial applicators fine-tune treatment within the top 3–4 cm.

Quicker Recovery

Blended Treatments

Combine the two shockwave therapies for a treatment that first uses radial waves to ease surface pain and improve circulation, then switches to focused waves to break up deep calcifications and promote tissue repair.

You’ll experience minimal discomfort, shorter sessions and quicker recovery—so you can get back to your routine faster and with more confidence in your results.

Yes! This type of therapy is considered safe, non-invasive, low cost and without the dangers of the surgical procedure and postoperative pain.

We apply shock waves through a specially designed hand piece that produces strong energy pulses for short periods of time. These high energy acoustic waves are transmitted through the surface of the skin directly to the affected tissue areas in a controlled procedure. Shockwaves have a mechanical effect on the tissue which stimulates the cells in the body which are responsible for healing. The micro trauma of the repeated shockwave creates new blood flow to the area. It is the new blood flow that promotes tissue healing.

Focused shockwave therapy works by generating high-energy acoustic pulses outside the body and focusing them via an acoustic lens or electromagnetic transducer to a precise point within deep tissues. Upon impact, these pulses create rapid pressure changes that induce mechanotransduction—converting mechanical forces into biochemical signals—which triggers the release of growth factors, promotes neovascularization and fibroblast activity, and breaks down pathological calcifications. The combined primary mechanical effects and secondary biological responses accelerate tissue repair, reduce pain through analgesic pathways, and restore function in chronic and acute musculoskeletal conditions.

Shockwave treatment is usually done once a week for 3-6 weeks, depending on results. The treatment itself can cause mild discomfort, but it only lasts 4-5 minutes, and the intensity can be adjusted to keep it comfortable.

After the shockwave session you will be able to move the body part normally. Many of our patients feel a significant reduction in pain following a shockwave treatment. However, normally within 2-4 hours after the session they experience some temporary soreness and tenderness in the area.

In the days following shockwave therapy, you may experience swelling and redness in the treated area. This can make your pain feel worse, but this is indicative of the healing process, is completely normal and will subside within a day or two.

Shockwave therapy produces an acute inflammatory process in the treated tissues. Your body responds by increasing the metabolic activity around the impacted area which in turn stimulates and accelerated the body’s own healing mechanisms. Therefore, do not use anti-inflammatory medication or cold therapy, as this will interfere with the body’s self-healing processes. If needed you can use Tylenol for pain control. Bruising and swelling are also possible side effects of the treatment but should resolve in a few days.

What Is

Focused Shockwave Therapy

Focused shockwave therapy delivers high-energy acoustic pulses into precise deep-tissue targets to accelerate healing, promote angiogenesis and relieve pain.

Its high-density energy and fast impulse make it ideal for chronic tendinopathies, bone stress injuries and deep trigger points, with proven use in orthopedics, sports medicine, urology and dermatology.

Benefits Of

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy accelerates the healing process in the body by stimulating the metabolism and enhancing blood circulation to regenerate damaged tissue. Strong energy pulses are applied to the affected area. These pulses occur for short periods of time, creating micro-cavitation bubbles that expand and burst.

The force created by these bubbles penetrates tissue and stimulates cells in the body that are responsible for bone and connective tissue healing. In many instances, shockwave therapy is most effective in cases where the human body has not been able to heal itself on its own.
