Scaphoid non-union is a difficult bone-healing problem. The scaphoid has a limited and partly retrograde blood supply, especially toward the proximal pole, so fractures can fail to consolidate even after fixation and bone grafting. In this case, healing stalled after surgery, yet consolidation followed a non-invasive regenerative protocol combining focused extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) […]

Focal Shockwave Therapy (FSWT) is a form of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) that concentrates high-energy acoustic waves at a specific focal point in tissue. Devices from Storz Medical (a Swiss manufacturer known for rigorously tested, high-quality shockwave systems) generate focused shockwaves using electromagnetic mechanisms. Unlike radial pressure wave devices, FSWT delivers true shockwaves that reach

Shockwave therapy has become an increasingly popular modality in physiotherapy and chiropractic clinics. As of 2025, a growing body of research supports its effectiveness for various musculoskeletal conditions, from stubborn tendinopathies to chronic pain syndromes, making it an attractive addition to a clinic’s toolkit. But with two primary types of shockwave devices (Radial vs. Focused/Electromagnetic)

Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT), a form of extracorporeal shockwave therapy, is emerging as a powerful tool for physiotherapists and chiropractors managing stubborn musculoskeletal conditions. In this blog post, we’ll explore how RSWT works, the evidence-backed benefits for common conditions (like tendinopathies and plantar fasciitis), and the practical advantages of adding RSWT to a private practice.

Summary: This post explores how the Storz Duolith shockwave machine from Vale Medical helps medical clinics provide advanced ESWT treatments for conditions like plantar fasciitis and wound healing. The article covers the technology’s practical benefits, implementation considerations, and practice advantages while highlighting Vale Medical’s support for healthcare providers adopting shockwave therapy.   Let’s be honest
