Shockwave Therapy at Home

Shockwave Therapy is an effective and safe non-surgical non-invasive alternative treatment modality for chronic pain, overuse injuries and chronic tendon disorders. Shockwave Therapy improves local blood flow and tissue vascularisation, enhances metabolism, stimulates tissue repair and speeds up natural healing processes. Shockwave Therapy also helps to alleviate pain and discomfort and helps to improve mobility.  

Shockwave Therapy utilises low energy acoustic ‘shock waves’ that carry high energy to pain centres and myoskeletal tissues to promote regeneration and tissue repair. The shock waves exert their therapeutic effects on target tissues, leading to resolution of painful conditions and problems. Shockwave Therapy is generally well tolerated and is normally applied by professionals in clinics and hospitals.
 
A range of small medical devices for Shockwave Therapy applications at home has been developed by a leading orthopaedic surgeon practising in Channel Islands on Guernsey, Mr Ranjan Vhadra and his colleagues. 
 
Mr Ranjan Vhadra’s range of mobile shockwave therapy devices for home use include the following devices:
 
  1. Sciaticalm Pulsed Rechargeable for Sciatica and Back Pain
  2. Kneease Pulsed Rechargeable for Knee Osteoarthritis and Kneecap Tendonitis
  3. Plantar Cure Pulsed Rechargeable for Plantar Fasciitis Pain Relief
  4. Tenease Pulsed Rechargeable for Elbow Pain Relief
More about Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy (i.e. Radial Shockwave Therapy or RSWT) is an advanced, non-invasive treatment used to relieve pain and accelerate healing in musculoskeletal disorders. RSWT works by delivering high-energy acoustic waves directly to the affected tissues, which stimulates blood circulation, promotes cell regeneration and reduces inflammation. It is particularly effective for treating chronic pain conditions, such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, tennis elbow, and shoulder tendinopathy. Shockwave therapy is also used to promote healing of delayed bone fractures and calcified shoulder issues.

The shockwave therapy process involves applying a hand-held device to the skin, which delivers targeted shockwaves to the problem area. These pulses stimulate metabolic activity and promote the body's natural healing processes. Shockwave Therapy is generally well-tolerated, and treatment sessions are short, typically lasting circa 15-20 minutes. Patients often experience significant pain relief after a few sessions, and improvements continue for several weeks following the course of treatment.

Shockwave Therapy offers numerous benefits, including faster recovery times, improved mobility, and reduced dependency on pain medications. Unlike surgical procedures, radial shockwave therapy does not involve incisions, anaesthesia or downtime, allowing patients to resume their daily activities shortly after treatment. Its effectiveness, combined with the lack of side effects, makes Shockwave Therapy a popular option among patients and healthcare providers.

Our range of Shockwave Therapy devices for home use listed above utilises state-of-the-art technology, ensuring reliable and efficient treatment for a range of musculoskeletal conditions. This therapy is perfect for people wishing to avoid invasive procedures while achieving significant improvement in pain management and physical function. 

Definition of Shockwave Therapy also called Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes high-energy acoustic waves to target areas of pain or injury, promoting healing, reducing inflammation and stimulating blood flow. Traditionally used in clinical settings for treating chronic musculoskeletal conditions such as tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and joint pain, Shockwave Therapy is now also available in compact devices designed for home use. These mini shockwave devices are designed to deliver similar therapeutic benefits, providing convenient at-home treatment for pain relief and musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Both clinical and home versions aim to accelerate tissue repair, improve mobility, and offer effective, drug-free pain management.

This definition of Shockwave Therapy encompasses both professional equipment and shockwave devices for home use, confirming that the term and description apply broadly across Shockwave Therapy types of medical equipment.

Shockwave Therapy devices for home use are portable, convenient and easy to use, effective and safe. They are perfect for mobile Shockwave Therapy at home and during travel!
