Achilles Tendonitis Treatment with Radial ShockWave™ Therapy
What is Achilles Tendonitis?
Achilles Tendonitis is an overuse injury of the Achilles tendon—the thick band connecting calf muscles to the heel bone. It typically results from repetitive stress, intense sports activity, poor footwear, or lack of proper warm-up. Common symptoms include heel pain, stiffness along the tendon, and swelling or tenderness, especially after running or climbing stairs.
If left untreated, it can lead to tendon degeneration (tendinosis), chronic pain, or even rupture.
How reGener8 treats it
The reGener8 ZS1019 delivers Radial ShockWave™ Therapy, a scientifically backed, non-surgical approach for treating Achilles Tendonitis by stimulating the body’s own repair mechanisms.
Therapeutic Benefits:
-
- Increases blood flow and metabolic activity around the tendon
- Stimulates neovascularization (new blood vessel formation)
- Promotes collagen synthesis and tendon regeneration
- Breaks down chronic scar tissue and calcific deposits
- Reduces inflammation and relieves pain through neurological desensitization
Technical Advantages:
-
- Radial therapy penetrates 3–4 cm—ideal for tendon surface and surrounding soft tissue
- High energy delivery up to 6 Bar for deeper or chronic cases
- Adjustable frequency from 1–21 Hz to match tissue sensitivity
- 15–20 mm radial probes ideal for targeting the Achilles zone
This therapy is a preferred solution for athletes, runners, and individuals in physical jobs experiencing persistent heel pain or limited ankle movement.
Recommended treatment protocol
- Mode: Radial ShockWave™ Therapy
- Energy: 3–4 Bar
- Frequency: 10–12 Hz
- Shocks per session: 2000
- Sessions: 3–5
- Interval between sessions: Every 5–7 days
Use a coupling gel and start with moderate energy; increase based on patient tolerance and condition severity. Pain reduction and mobility improvement often begin after the second session.
