Erica, PT - sharing some Shockwave Therapy knowledge. Did you know the different types of shockwave therapy and what their appropriate uses are?
There are two types of Shockwave - Focused (Focal) and Radial
🔍Focused Shockwave uses pinpointed waves and penetrates deep (10-12cm) enough to break up kidney stones.
🔊Radial Shockwave uses acoustic waves that dissipate (3-4cm) into targeted areas.
Radial Shockwave is a great and effective modality used by our PTs!
