Focused Shock WAVE is a more precise and powerful variant of shock wave therapy, in which energy is concentrated at a specific depth within the tissue, known as the focal point. Unlike the radial type, the waves do not disperse but are directed precisely toward a specific affected area located deeper in the body. This allows for the treatment of structures that are difficult to reach with other therapies, such as deep tendons, joint capsules, bones and calcifications. Focused Shock WAVE has proven highly effective in the treatment of bone stress fractures, avascular necrosis, chronic enthesopathies and joint injuries. The procedure requires precise positioning and is particularly suitable for patients with more complex or treatment-resistant conditions.

The key difference between Focused Shock WAVE and Radial Shock WAVE lies in the way energy is distributed. While Radial Shock WAVE acts superficially and diffusely, spreading energy across a wider area, Focused Shock WAVE concentrates all of its power at a specific point at greater depth, making it a more precise tool for treating deeply located and more severe injuries.
