1. Theory
(1) Shockwave
The shockwave system uses the ballistic principle of shockwave generation: A pressure wave is formed via a projectile by using accelerated compressed air. The compressed air is generated by an electronically-controlled ballistic-pressure compressor. Using elastic impact, the kinetic energy of the projectile is transferred into the probe of the applicator and then into the client’s body. Consequently, during the treatment, the end of the applicator must be in direct-contact with the skin and subcutaneous tissue.
Shockwave is aimed at the affected areas that are the source of chronic pain. The influence of the shockwaves causes to the dissolution of calcium deposits and leads to better vascularization. The after-effect is relief from the pain.
Shock Wave Physiotherapy
Shockwave therapy is a multidisciplinary device used in orthopaedics, physiotherapy, sports medicine, urology and veterinary medicine.
For skeletal-muscular: mainly applied to muscle, fascia, tendon, joint and other soft tissue pain, especially for soft tissue adhesion and tendon calcification has very good efficacy.
Its main assets are fast pain relief and mobility restoration. Together with being a non-surgical therapy with no need for painkillers makes it an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and cure various indications causing acute or chronic pain.
Shock Wave Cellulite Treatment
Shock wave is a powerful and effective treatment in reducing cellulite, tightening and firming as well as smoothing of the skin. Through the physical vibration of the precise delivery to the cellulite to break the stubborn cellulite, make it from thick to thin, targeting cellulite, promote metabolism, the excess fat out of the body, to achieve fat loss and weight loss results.
Shock wave can be used as a standalone application or in cunjuction with other fat removal or skin tightening treatments to accelerate results.
(2) TERAPIA Magnetica
According to the principle of Faraday electromagnetic induction, a large amount of energy is quickly discharged from large-capacity storage capacitors to the coil. The coil is stimulated by strong current to produce pulse magnetic field, it can penetrate clothing, bones and other tissues, generate inductive electric fields in stimulating parts, causing excitement/suppression activities of nerve cells, and then generate a series of physiological biochemical reactions.
Magneto Therapy pulses a magnetic field into the body, creating an extraordinary healing effect. The results are less pain, reduction in swelling, and increased range of motion in the affected areas.
It can be divided into low-frequency TMS (≦1Hz) and high-frequency TMS (≧5Hz) according to different frequencies.
Different frequency TMS are different in regulating the sports cortex:
high-frequency TMS: Increase the excitement of the cortex.
low-frequency TMS: decrease the excitement of the cortex.
TMS is divided into sTMS, pTMS, and rTMS according to the stimulus mode.
sTMS: A single-time magnetic field with a non-fixed frequency is used to observe the instantaneous effect, and it is mostly used for conventional electrical physiological examinations.
pTMS: Based on a specific time interval and intensity, 2 stimuli are given to one specific area or two different parts, which are mostly used to study the easilyization and inhibitory effects of the nerves.
rTMS: During a certain area, the magnetic field is changed at a certain frequency. When the stimulus stops, there is still a continuous biological effect. It is a powerful tool for brain function research and clinical treatment.
2. Application
(1) Shockwave
Cellular: Increase in cell membrane transmittance by improving ionic channels activity, stimulation of cell division, stimulation of cellular cytokines production.
Reproduction of vessels in the area of tendons and muscles: Improvement of blood circulation, increase in concentration of growth factor beta 1, chemotactic and mitogenic effect on osteoblasts.
Effect on nitrogen oxide system: Bone healing and remodeling.
Improvement of macro-circulation and metabolism.
Dissolution of calcified fibroblasts.
Supports the production of collagen.
Reduction in tissue tension.
Analgesic effect.
(2) TERAPIA Magnetica
It uses magnetic field to stimulate muscle tissue and nerves through clothes and skin without decaying, so that it generates inductive current, a non-invasive, painless stimulus to tissue and peripheral nerves, which can accelerate metabolism and blood circulation, enhance the body immunity, soothe pain, reduce muscle soreness, restore damaged cells to normal health, regulate and improve physical function.
① Muscle pathology (contracture, muscle tears, bruises and swelling).
② Bone injuries, osteoarticular distractions and wear of the joints (shoulder, hips, knees, ankle joints).
③ Pathology of the elbow, wrist and arms (epicondylitis, tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome).
④ Thoracic vertebral pathology.
⑤ Inflammation and damage to the Achilles tendon and ligament.
⑥ Tendonitis in the shoulder joint area and chronic edema.
