BTL-6000 FSWT - Focused Shockwave Therapy

Focused shockwave therapy with the BTL-6000 FSWT

Ideal for calcific shoulder, deep/calcified tendinitis, non-unions, and complex orthopedic cases.

Are you an orthopedist, physiotherapist, or rehabilitation physician? Do you want to treat patients suffering from chronic pain? Are you looking for a non-invasive and side-effect-free form of pain therapy? Is surgery your last resort?

BTL now offers you and your patients a completely new treatment option for chronic pain - focused shockwave therapy.

Shockwave therapy is the only non-invasive alternative to surgery that can treat both the cause and the symptoms of chronic pain. It is a proven procedure that treats the affected tissue through deep cellular stimulation. This promotes the rapid regeneration and healing of the tissue.

With the BTL-6000 FSWT, you have a focused shockwave device at your disposal, which is the first choice in the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal pain, calcifications, and tendon/bone disorders. Offer your patients a treatment option that can be effectively used for joint and tendon pain, is non-invasive, and offers a treatment alternative without medication or local anesthetics.

The BTL 6000 FSWT - the new formula for chronic pain

Shockwaves generate cell stimulation and the release of growth factors that ensure tissue regeneration. The therapy can stimulate repair processes in tendons and bones, eliminate calcifications, relieve persistent pain, and relax overworked muscles.

At constant intensity, the shockwave applicator of the BTL-6000 FSWT has a lifespan of 3 million shocks. The shockwave device offers the perfect balance between high energy flux density and optimal focus zone size.

Examples of sports medicine applications:

• Tendinopathies
• Epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
• Calcific shoulder
• Deep/calcified tendinitis
• Non-unions
• Calcifications and tendon disorders
• Muscle hypertonus

Who is the therapy with focused shockwaves suitable for?

This therapy is a great option for regular patients and athletes of all disciplines who are looking for a non-invasive treatment method for persistent pain, typically in the shoulders, elbows (epicondylitis), or knees.

What does shockwave therapy feel like?

During shockwave treatment, you feel a pressure sensation over the painful area. The therapy with focused shockwaves is well tolerated by the vast majority of patients. However, the therapy can be adjusted at any time based on patient feedback.

How long does a shockwave treatment take?

The treating doctor / physiotherapist creates a treatment plan before starting the treatments. A typical treatment takes no more than 10 minutes. In total, 5-10 sessions are usually scheduled, 1-2 times per week.

How quickly will results become visible after a shockwave application?

Most patients experience pain relief already after the first session. The healing process continues in the following weeks. Due to the high mechanical energy in the form of ultrashort pulses, focused shockwave therapy can generate highly effective stimuli for healing and tissue regeneration at the painful areas. This effect can have a positive impact on all persistent pain conditions in joints, tendons, and muscles.
