Focused Shockwave Therapy for Neuropathy

Revolutionary Neuropathy Treatment: Focused Shockwave Therapy at FocusWave Clinic

Are you struggling with the tingling, numbness, or burning pain of peripheral neuropathy in your hands or feet? At FocusWave Clinic in Ottawa and Waterloo, we’re transforming lives with Focused Electromagnetic Shockwave Therapy using the cutting-edge Storz Duolith SD1. This non-invasive treatment offers hope for those battling neuropathy symptoms, providing relief without surgery, drugs, or downtime.

What is Peripheral Neuropathy?

Peripheral neuropathy occurs when nerves in the hands and feet are damaged, often due to diabetes, chemotherapy, or unknown causes. Symptoms like numbness, tingling, burning pain, or weakness can disrupt daily life, making simple tasks like walking or gripping objects challenging. Traditional treatments, such as medications, often fall short or come with unwanted side effects.

How Focused Shockwave Therapy Works

Our state-of-the-art Storz Duolith SD1 delivers precise, high-energy shockwaves to targeted nerves, triggering the body’s natural healing processes. Here’s how it works:

  • Promotes Nerve Repair: Shockwaves stimulate the release of growth factors like VEGF and BDNF, encouraging nerve regeneration and blood vessel formation.
  • Reduces Inflammation: By lowering pro-inflammatory molecules and boosting anti-inflammatory ones, the therapy soothes irritated nerves.
  • Relieves Pain: Shockwaves disrupt pain signals and may enhance natural pain-relieving mechanisms in the body.
  • Improves Circulation: Enhanced blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients to damaged nerves, supporting recovery.

Unlike radial shockwave devices, the focused electromagnetic technology of the Storz Duolith SD1 penetrates deeper (up to 12 cm) to precisely target nerves like the median nerve in the wrist or tibial nerve in the ankle. This ensures effective treatment with minimal discomfort and no skin trauma.

Why Choose FocusWave Clinic?

At FocusWave Clinic, we’re the only clinic in Ottawa and Waterloo using the Storz Duolith SD1, the gold standard in shockwave therapy. Our tailored treatment protocol is designed for maximum results:

  • Customized Sessions: 1500–2000 shocks per session at 0.10–0.15 mJ/mm², targeting specific nerves in the hands or feet.
  • Quick and Painless: Each session takes just 15–20 minutes per limb, with no downtime—you can resume your day immediately.
  • Proven Approach: Clinical evidence supports shockwave therapy’s ability to reduce neuropathic pain by 2–3 points on pain scales, with our focused technology offering even greater potential.
  • Safe and Non-Invasive: No surgery, no drugs, no risk of infection or scarring.

What to Expect

During your treatment, our experienced clinicians use ultrasound guidance to precisely target affected nerves. You may feel a slight tingling, but pain is rare, and any redness fades within hours. Most patients notice improvement after a few sessions, with optimal results after 6 sessions over 3–6 weeks.

How Shockwave Therapy Helps Neuropathy?

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

  1. Session Duration: Each session lasts approximately 15–30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
  2. Frequency: A typical course involves 5–8 sessions, spaced one week apart.
  3. 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.
  4. Sensations: You may feel mild discomfort or a tingling sensation during treatment, but this is temporary and often a sign of the healing response.
  5. Post-Treatment

Immediate Activity: Most patients resume normal activities right after treatment, with no downtime required.

  1. Mild Side Effects: Some may experience temporary soreness or swelling, which typically resolves within a few days.
  2. 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.
