FOCUS EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Experience Pain Relief with Focus
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (F-ESWT)
Focus Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (F-ESWT) is a powerful, non-invasive treatment designed to target chronic pain and deep tissue injuries. This innovative therapy uses highly focused shockwaves that penetrate deeper into tissues, providing targeted relief for stubborn or localized conditions. By breaking down scar tissue, promoting blood flow, and stimulating cellular repair, Focus Shockwave Therapy accelerates recovery and provides long-lasting relief—without surgery or medication.
​
Whether you’re dealing with persistent pain, calcifications, or a complex musculoskeletal condition, Focus Shockwave Therapy offers a precise and effective solution to help you regain mobility and live pain-free.

What Can You Expect from Focus Shockwave Therapy
(F-ESWT)?
Deep Pain Relief: F-ESWT targets pain at its source, modulating pain signals and promoting long-term relief.
Precise Tissue Regeneration: Focus shockwaves stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration at deeper levels, helping repair damaged tendons, ligaments, and muscles.
Breaking Down Calcifications: One of the key benefits of Focus Shockwave Therapy is its ability to break down calcium deposits deep in soft tissues, reducing pain and stiffness while restoring mobility.
Neovascularization: The therapy promotes the growth of new blood vessels, improving circulation to injured tissues, accelerating healing, and boosting recovery time.
Why Choose Focus Shockwave Therapy (F-ESWT)?
Focus Shockwave Therapy is ideal for patients with chronic pain, deep tissue injuries, or calcifications that require targeted, deep-reaching treatment. It’s particularly effective for conditions like chronic tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff injuries, and hip bursitis.
​
When combined with Radial Shockwave Therapy, which treats more superficial conditions, Focus Shockwave Therapy can provide a comprehensive and effective solution for both deep and surface-level injuries.
Chronic Tendinitis Relief
Focused Shockwave Therapy is a highly effective treatment for chronic tendinitis. The focused waves target inflamed tendons at a deep level, stimulating tissue repair and reducing pain. Whether you're dealing with Achilles tendinitis, tennis elbow, or shoulder tendinopathy, this treatment can help you recover without surgery or long-term medication.
Scar Tissue Reduction
Focused Shockwave Therapy is ideal for reducing deep scar tissue that restricts movement and causes discomfort. This non-invasive treatment breaks down tough scar tissue while stimulating new collagen formation, leading to improved mobility and flexibility.
​
​
​
Calcification Breakdown
One of the key strengths of Focused Shockwave Therapy is its ability to break down calcifications in deeper tissues, such as shoulders and hips. This treatment dissolves calcium deposits that cause stiffness and pain, restoring range of motion and reducing discomfort.
​
​
​​
​
 Hip Bursitis Treatment
If you’re struggling with chronic hip bursitis, Focused Shockwave Therapy targets the inflamed bursae and surrounding tissues, relieving pain and restoring hip function. This therapy works deeper than radial shockwaves, making it perfect for addressing conditions that affect the deep layers of tissue.
​
​
Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
For those suffering from chronic plantar fasciitis, Focused Shockwave Therapy offers targeted relief by stimulating the healing of the plantar fascia at a deeper level, breaking down scar tissue, and reducing inflammation. Say goodbye to heel pain and get back to enjoying your favorite activities.
​
​​​
Deep Sports Injury Recovery
Athletes dealing with chronic injuries or deep muscle and tendon damage can benefit greatly from Focused Shockwave Therapy. The therapy helps repair deep-seated tissues, reducing recovery time, inflammation, and pain, so you can get back in the game faster.
