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.
