Radial shock wave therapy device (RSWT)

  • Shockwave therapy is one of the most effective methods of treating pain, musculoskeletal disorders and professional aesthetic medicine treatments (dedicated transmitter). Based on over twenty years of experience, a new, improved model of the Impactis M+ shockwave therapy device was created . The device was designed with the comfortable work of physiotherapists in mind. It has all the features of the Impactis M device, trusted by thousands of specialists in the field of physiotherapy, as well as additional functions that increase the comfort of use and expand the therapeutic possibilities of the device. Intuitive operation, improved software of built-in treatment programs and a new pulse emission mode make the use of the device even more comfortable and friendly to the physiotherapist and the patient.

  • Thanks to the use of a frequency range from 1 to 25 Hz, Impactis M+ allows for increased patient comfort during the procedure, and a specially designed, comfortable bag makes the device a fully mobile support in environmental therapy. Shockwave therapy is a fast and non-invasive way to eliminate annoying pain. Patients feel the positive effects of the treatment after a series of 3-4 treatments with a week's break. The duration of the procedure is only about 10 minutes.

How does a shock wave affect the human body?

The shock wave has the following effects

  • Analgesic and anti-inflammatory by blocking the triggering and transmission of pain signals
  • Disintegrative (leads to the removal of calcified fibroblasts)
  • Regenerative (increases collagen production)
  • Relaxing (reduces muscle tension)
  • Improving microcirculation
  • The definition of a shock wave is that it is a sudden increase in gas pressure with a very high amplitude. The shock wave generated in specialist devices is transferred to the body using an applicator, and the pressure within the tissue can increase to 100 MPa, then drop rapidly and reach a negative value. Thanks to this, the wave penetrates the skin and hits a specific place. An example of a shock wave therapy device is the Impactis M+ device.
