1. Introduction

Radial Pressure Waves

Therapeutic shockwaves were introduced as a medical treatment for eliminating kidney stones without causing skin injury, over 20 years ago. Some of the benefits discovered while using this treatment, were bone healing and accelerated tissue healing in the areas treated with shockwave therapy. Today the use of radial shockwaves or Radial Pressures Waves (RPW) has been successfully extended to other therapeutic and wellness applications such as:

• Shoulder calcifications

• Myofascial trigger points

• Insertional tendonitis

• Muscle and connective tissue activation

Radial Pressure Waves is an excellent non-invasive treatment method with very few negative side effects, for indications that are normally very difficult to treat. For these indications we now know that RPW is a treatment method that reduces pain as well as improves function and quality of life.

2. RPW Technology

RPW Technology

Medworx Pneumatic Shockwave is compressed air-ballistic shockwave generator. Shockwaves are generated with a precision ballistic mechanism in the handpiece which generates a projectile of compressed air. The motion and weight of the projectile produces kinetic energy which moves along the transmitter and converts into sound energy in the form of an acoustic wave. The acoustic wave is transmitted into the tissue via a coupling gel and collectively this is known as “Radial Pressure Wave Therapy". The propagating acoustic waves functionally stimulate increased blood flow and metabolic activity within the cells.

3. Benefits

Radial pressure waves offer a non invasive treatment solution for both chronic and acute pain pathologies in soft tissue. Localized treatment of the pain area will enhance and reset the healing process. In today's medicine there are several other working hypotheses for the physical effects of radial pressure waves:

• Metabolically, Shockwaves create increased cell membrane permeability which allows old, damaged and weakened cells to be removed and replaced with healthy viable cells.

• Neurologically, Shockwaves produce a counter irritation at the dorsal root ganglion. Actually modulating the amount of nocioceptive activity and decreasing the pain signal and actually closing the theoretical pain gate.

• Vascular changes such as increased blood circulation in tissues which increases the oxygen content and significantly reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the tissue which may stimulate the healing process.

• Based on the hypothesis towards associative pain memory (Wess), afferent pain signals are transmitted through the central nervous system by multiple synaptic junctions which eventually cause efferent fibers to control muscle tone.The reflex mechanism works just like a regulatory circuit.

4. Indications

Radial Pressure Wave therapy is indicated for:

• Myofacial Trigger Points

• Activation of muscle and connective tissue

• Resetting of tendon insertions

5. ED Therapy Protocol

1. Target to spongy tissue in 5 different areas

2. 300 impacts per area, total 1500 impacts in one treatment

3. Twice a week, treat consistently for 3 weeks,then stop for 3 weeks. And start next course.

4. Should be more impacts at the top end of penis and less impacts at the bottom of penis
   

6. Shockwave for Cellulite Reduction

Shockwave is a safe, non-invasive, FDA approved form of treatment for the reduction of cellulite and other body slimming benefits. Various parts of the body can be treated effectively.

As fat cells grow larger, cellulite gets trapped under the skin, causing the surface of the skin to bulge. This leads to the tell-tale dimpling appearance. Blood flow is restricted by the unhealthy fat cells.

Acoustic Wave Therapy has been found to be the first non-invasive treatment method to ensure effective and longlasting treatment of age-related connective tissue weakness, especially in the treatment of cellulite. Acoustic waves stimulate microcirculation in connective tissues and fat cells, then improves existing metabolic regulation to reduce the sizable signs of cellulite.

7. Features

Advantages:

1. Non Invasive, safe and fast way to ease pain

2. No side effects, precise targeted of areas of pain

3. Avoid opiates and narcotics

4. Improve blood circulation, at the same time to remove body fat and cellulite

5. Higher pressure, max pressure to 6BAR

6. Higher frequency, max frequency to 21HZ

7. More stable and consistent pressure waves 8. Higher quality for high volume, daily use

8. Applicator

Applicator can be used with a variety of transmitters for the generation of targeted shockwaves. Each transmitter has a specific range of use for targeting specific areas of the body

Flat Radisl Focus waveforms

1. Flat form: Direct impact on the treated body part

2. Focus and Radial Form: The focus form is focused on deep tissues, and the radial form focuses on mid range tissues.

3. The focus form can speed up the wave energy and focuses it on the body part being treated.

4. The radial form can spread the shock wave evenly over a larger treatment area.
