The recent introduction of extra-corporeal shock-waves therapy changed the general approach to several important pathologies of bone but also particularly of tendons and muscles. CONTROLLED

A quite large focus, such as the emission mode delivered thanks to the patented applicators, allows the operator to cover a quite large area from the surface to the deepest tissues without provoking bad feeling to the patient. Furthermore, thanks to the quite large focuse, any sonography or rx system is needed.

Unfocused (or radial) shock-waves therapy are useful for treating superficial parts such as muscles or for performing treatment over the trigger and/or tender points. Often, during each application, it is useful to combine controlled focused mode for deepest tissues to unfocused (radial) mode for stimulating local vasodilation and reducing pain.
Shock-waves emission is keeping homogeneous for few centimetres and those linear shock-.waves are useful for performing treatment over cellulite. Blood flow is improving, local vascolarization, molecular destabilization of trigliceridis are made thanks to the cavitation action of shock-waves.
POSITIVE RESULTS
The feedback coming from the clinical experiences are referring about more than 70% positive results. Dimensions of focus and features of the emission modes allow to treat without hard pain every patient and every pathology. ● Epicondilytis and epitrocleitis ● Shoulder pathologies,
insertional tendonitis, impingement, frozen shoulder ● Fascicitis and calcanear spur ● Rotuleos tendonitis ● Pubalgia ● Achille’s tendonitis ● Bursitis, contractures, and elongations ● Pseudoarthrosis and consolidation delay of small articulations ● IPP 8
MODE
PATENTED SHOCK-WAVES TRANSMISSION: DEEP IN ACTION AND PATIENT’S COMFORT by the R&S laboratories of Elettronica Pagani, is made by a special chamber where shock-wave is generated, controlled and delivered outside from the applicator to the patient thanks to a special membrane which gets in touch with patient’s skin where energy density is transmitted over a quite large area and is keeping around the same area for 4-4,5 cm inside the different soft tissues.
Controlled focused shock-waves are provided with intensity, depth and distribution able to grant: ● effectiveness by respecting patient comfort ● keeping homogeneous focus emission mode ● avoiding uncomfortable feeling ● treating all the suitable pathologies with any special collateral effects ● avoiding sonography and/or rx visualization during treatment.

The main advantage of a quite large focus is that on this way it is possible to use therapeutic area able to involve not only the source of pathology, but also the surrounding area, in order to provoke biological process, such as neocapillarogenis and antalgic effects, which are able to make positive actions: DECREASES INFL AMMATION PROCESS ACCELERATES LOCAL BLOOD CIRCUL ATION AND REDUCES PAIN
Treatments of cellulite and localised fat A special linear applicator along with unfocused applicator are available for performing treatments over cellulite and localised fat. Shock-waves produce a pressure wave that passes through the skin and fat to impact the fibrous septae. Pressure breaks up the collagen of the septae and releases the skin, allowing a smoother surface. Shock-waves provoke vibration of connective tissue, improves appearance of the skin, increases elasticity.
