Radial Shockwave Therapy - DRHC Dubai

Radial shockwave therapy (RSWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses radial or ballistic waves to treat various musculoskeletal conditions. At Dr. Rami Hamed Medical Center, Dubai, Unlike focused shockwave therapy, which concentrates energy at a specific point, radial shockwave therapy disperses energy over a larger area.

During an RSWT session, a device is applied to the skin, and high-energy acoustic waves are delivered to the affected area. These waves create microtrauma in the tissue, which stimulates the body's natural healing response. RSWT can help reduce pain, improve blood circulation, and promote tissue regeneration.

Some common conditions treated with radial shockwave therapy include:

1. Plantar fasciitis: RSWT can help reduce pain and inflammation in the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot.
2. Achilles tendinopathy: RSWT can help stimulate healing in the Achilles tendon, reducing pain and improving function.
3. Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): RSWT can help reduce pain and inflammation in the tendons of the elbow, improving grip strength and function.
4. Shoulder tendinopathy: RSWT can help reduce pain and improve mobility in the shoulder joint, particularly in conditions like rotator cuff tendinopathy.
5. Jumpers knee (patellar tendinopathy): RSWT can help stimulate healing in the patellar tendon, reducing pain and improving function.

RSWT is typically performed as an outpatient procedure and does not require anesthesia. The number of treatment sessions needed can vary depending on the condition being treated and the individual's response to therapy. It is generally considered safe, but some mild side effects such as temporary redness, bruising, or swelling at the treatment site may occur.
