The BTL-6000 Shockwave Topline Power Shockwave Therapy Device is a non-invasive solution for musculoskeletal pain. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy is widely used in the fields of physiotherapy, orthopedics and sports medicine. The applications are mainly related to the treatment of chronic diseases of muscles and tendons, joints, trigger points. as well as in painful muscle spasms.
Percussion is an acoustic wave that transfers energy to pain points and musculoskeletal tissues in acute, subacute and chronic phase. During the treatment, a high-intensity sound wave is transmitted to the tissues of the body. This causes multiple beneficial effects such as increasing blood microcirculation in the area, reversing chronic inflammation, stimulating collagen and dissolving calcification.
The advantages of shock wave therapy are that it is a treatment application without the use of drugs (eg corticosteroid injection) or local anesthetics, the application is bloodless and non-invasive with a short duration of actual treatment that does not exceed 10 minutes.
