- Curious about the world of shockwave therapy? In this video, we dive deep into the key differences between two popular forms of shockwave treatment: Focused Shockwave and Radial Shockwave.
🌐 Understanding the distinction between these two techniques is crucial for anyone exploring non-invasive therapies for pain relief and tissue repair. Focused Shockwave Therapy targets a specific point with a concentrated energy beam, ideal for localized issues, while Radial Shockwave Therapy disperses energy radially, making it effective for broader areas.
👩⚕️ Join us as we break down the science behind each method, exploring their applications, benefits, and considerations. Whether you're a healthcare professional, a patient seeking relief, or just curious about cutting-edge medical treatments, this video provides valuable insights into the world of shockwave therapy.

Hi there, what are your thoughts on F or Radial for a recurring hamstring injury, generally more mid belly than insertional. Thanks for your help!
Would the radial or focus works to repair tissues on knee joint when your bone on bone already and your doctor recommend a knee surgery to fix the problem?
Focused shockwave is what I used to treat knee arthritis in practice. Focused allows you treat over the boney structures and the tendons around the knee.
Can we use it for Stomach?daily basis?
No not for stomach issues
Hi any device you can recommend for intestine blood circulation device
@@drtoddsullivanI just saw some videos where other doctors/chiropractors/physical therapist performed abdominal shockwave therapy for adhesions. They stated this area was the “easiest” to work on opposed to rest of the body. Can I hear your opinion? & why you wouldn’t recommend it?
What are the side effects for neck and shoulder region?
Hey doc I see you have radial, focused shockwave and a Summus class 4 laser
Have you found having all three machines is very useful
Yes the combination of treatments allows me to treat a variety of conditions with great success.
Thanks for showing us the difference between the two devices. Would the focused shockwave feel like a TENS unit pulse?
Not really a tens unit feels like a tingling buzzing sensation where a focused shockwave feels like a deep dull ache when you apply to an injured area.
I wish you were in NY. No one here has both or they charge a FORTUNE
Where in you NY are you located? NYC?
Could either or both of these be suitable for treating SI joint pain please?
Yes both can be used to treat SI jolnt pain
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I rather just stick to the percussion gun massager😮
why so ?
No. Percussion only damages you even more. I worked for a physical therapist and did years worth of research before they became popular or even reported on UA-cam. You’ll get much more out of ultrasound therapy as well than percussion. Might want to look into it
@@annarios5564 so ultrasound is better option
what is recommended for Insertational Achillies Tendonitis?
i was reading that people who have clotting issues and who are on blood thinner should not get SWT done. could you elobrate on this pls?, thanks.
I would recommend focused shockwave and used it on patients who are on blood thinners with no problem. I would avoid radial shockwave because the mechanism of how the shockwave is generated can cause more trauma to superficial tissues and bruising. Focused shockwave doesn’t cause bruising.
@@drtoddsullivan How is both radial and focused shockwave therapy efficacy in terms of pain relief, ROM and swelling ? suppose we don't have focused SW here in our country, do you recommend Radial SW?
I have inseratational Achilles tendonnitis which seems to be causing a lot pain, even after medications the pain and swelling seems to be coming back. Almost 6months now.
I am on blood thinner ( rivaroxaban) for clotting issue ( idopathic, un provoked)
@@drtoddsullivan in terms of pain relief, swelling and ROM which of these two modalities would be most effective ?
I have inseratational Achilles tendonnitis for like five months now and medicines don't seem to help, neither does loading exercise; the pain and swelling keeps coming back after Nsaid and Prednisolone are stopped.
I am on bloodthinner (rivaroxaban 20mg) for clotting issue ( idopathich, unprovoked)
does either of the therapy cause belling internally or on site ?
im not able to reply to your response doctor.
