At FocusWave Clinic, we use focused extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), a revolutionary treatment that harnesses high-energy low intensity (TRUE SHOCKWAVE) to stimulate healing at the cellular level.
ESWT, specifically the Storz Medical devices used in hundreds of clinical trials, is regulator approved and backed by clinical studies showing its effectiveness for neuropathy and other chronic conditions.
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy for Neuropathy
Reduces Pain: Shockwaves stimulate nerve endings, recalibrating pain perception and providing both short-term and long-term relief through mechanisms like hyperstimulation anesthesia and the gate-control mechanism.
Improves Blood Flow: Enhanced circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to damaged nerves, promoting repair and reducing symptoms like numbness.
Stimulates Nerve Regeneration: ESWT encourages axonal regeneration and Schwann cell proliferation, helping damaged nerves heal faster.
Decreases Inflammation: Shockwaves reduce chronic inflammation, a key contributor to neuropathic pain.
Non-Invasive and Drug-Free: Unlike medications or surgery, ESWT has minimal side effects and no recovery downtime, making it ideal for patients seeking safe alternatives.
Clinical studies, including those on postherpetic neuralgia and carpal tunnel syndrome, show that ESWT significantly reduces pain and improves function compared to traditional treatments.
Patients often report relief after just a few sessions, with cumulative benefits over time.
What to Expect: Your Neuropathy Treatment Course
Our neuropathy treatment at FocusWave Clinic is tailored to your unique needs. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial Consultation
Comprehensive Evaluation: Our specialists assess your symptoms, medical history, and nerve function to confirm neuropathy and determine if ESWT is right for you.
Personalized Plan: We create a customized treatment protocol based on the severity of your condition and your goals.
Treatment Protocol
- Session Duration: Each session lasts approximately 15–30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
- Frequency: A typical course involves 5–8 sessions, spaced one week apart.
- Procedure: A skilled therapist applies ultrasound gel to the treatment area and uses a state-of-the-art shockwave device (e.g., Storz Medical MASTERPULS MP100) to deliver focused acoustic waves. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, with adjustable intensity for comfort.
- Sensations: You may feel mild discomfort or a tingling sensation during treatment, but this is temporary and often a sign of the healing response.
- Post-Treatment
Immediate Activity: Most patients resume normal activities right after treatment, with no downtime required.
- Mild Side Effects: Some may experience temporary soreness or swelling, which typically resolves within a few days.
- Progress Monitoring: We track your improvement at follow-up visits, adjusting the plan as needed to optimize results.
With consistent treatment, many patients experience significant pain reduction, improved sensation, and better mobility within weeks.

Neuropathy & Neuralgia
Neuropathy refers to nerve damage or dysfunction causing pain, numbness, or weakness, often overlapping with neuralgia (which is specifically nerve pain).
It’s distinct from chronic musculoskeletal pain (like arthritis) as it’s neurological, not orthopedic, affecting peripheral nerves rather than bones, joints, or muscles.
Neuralgia is a specific type of neuropathy characterized by sharp, burning, or shooting pain along a nerve pathway, typically without other sensory or motor deficits. Neuralgia is a subset of neuropathy, focusing solely on nerve pain.
Neuropathy is a broader term for nerve damage or dysfunction, causing symptoms like pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness, often due to conditions like diabetes or injury.
Arthritis is NOT neuropathy
Arthritis and neuropathy can be connected, though they are distinct conditions. Arthritis, a musculoskeletal disorder, causes joint inflammation and pain, while neuropathy involves nerve damage, leading to pain, numbness, or tingling.
