Therapeutic Technologies
Electrotherapy is the use of electrical currents to produce therapeutic effects on the body. This method of treatment has been proven useful for pain management, muscle stimulation, reduction of swelling, and increased blood flow.
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): Tiny impulses are sent through the skin to nerves via electrodes which alters your perception of pain by interfering with signals before they reach the brain.
IFC/IFT (Interferential Current Therapy): Uses a crisscross pattern of medium-frequency waveforms to create deep pulses within muscles or joints, highly effective for increasing circulation and reducing swelling.
Shockwave & Ultrasound Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a multidisciplinary device used in orthopaedics, physiotherapy, and sports medicine. Its main assets are fast pain relief and mobility restoration. Most men suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED) caused by vascular problems can also benefit as it creates new blood vessels in penile tissue.
Ultrasound therapy causes mechanical vibrations from high-frequency sound waves. The warming effect encourages healing in soft tissues by increasing metabolism at the level of tissue cells.
Indications & Applications
- Back and neck pain
- Arthritis & Osteoarthritis
- Strains and sprains
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tendonitis & Bursitis
- Myositis (muscle inflammation)
- Neuralgia
- ED Treatment
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between TENS and IFC electrotherapy?
While both manage pain, TENS uses low-frequency currents primarily for skin-level nerve stimulation. IFC uses medium-frequency waveforms that meet less skin resistance, allowing for deeper penetration into muscles and joints, making it more effective for circulation and swelling.
How long does the shockwave bullet last?
The bullet in this device has a high-performance lifespan of approximately 3 million shots, ensuring long-term reliability for clinical use.
Can this machine be used for ED treatment?
Yes, shockwave therapy is highly effective for vascular-related erectile dysfunction as it helps create new blood vessels in penile tissue, restoring spontaneous erections.
What are the main benefits of ultrasound therapy?
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to create microscopic stimulation and deep tissue warming. This increases metabolism at the cellular level, promoting faster healing for soft tissue injuries, strains, and inflammation.
How many treatment tips are included for the shockwave handpiece?
The device comes with 13 different transmitters (tips) designed specifically to target various body parts and therapeutic indications.
Is the treatment non-invasive?
Yes, all three technologies (Shockwave, Ultrasound, and Electrotherapy) are non-surgical, non-invasive treatments that provide safe alternatives to painkillers and invasive procedures.
