What is the difference between radial and focused shockwave therapy physiotherapy?

In shockwave therapy physiotherapy, radial shockwave therapy disperses acoustic waves over a wider area and is most effective for conditions affecting tissues near the surface of the body, such as plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and Achilles tendinopathy. Focused shockwave therapy penetrates more deeply into the body and is used for conditions in deeper tissues. At Advantage Physiotherapy, the most appropriate type of shockwave therapy is selected based on your specific diagnosis and clinical assessment.
