Radial vs focused SHOCKWAVE
Radial shockwave spreads energy broadly across larger surface areas. It’s ideal for soft tissue conditions close to the skin and muscle chains with multiple trigger points.
Ideal for:
-
Postural Tension: Ideal for "warming up" large muscle groups before an adjustment to make the manipulation easier and more effective.
-
Myofascial Trigger Points: Best for treating widespread "knots" in the upper back, neck, and shoulders.
-
Secondary Compensations: Treating the calf or hip muscles that have become tight due to primary spinal misalignment.
Focused shockwave delivers deeper, more intense energy with pinpoint accuracy. It’s best for stubborn, deep-seated issues like calcific tendinopathies and chronic joint pain.
Ideal for:
-
Chronic Low Back Pain: Penetrates the deep connective tissue around the lumbar spine that manual therapy often cannot reach.
-
Facet Joint & Disc Health: Emerging 2026 protocols use focused waves to stimulate regenerative activity in worn cartilage and intervertebral discs.
-
Stubborn Radiculopathy: Targets the specific deep trigger points (like the piriformis) contributing to sciatica or other nerve-related pains.

-
Reduce the amount of chronic inflammation around those structures

Help release trigger points
