In recent years, shockwave therapy has taken center stage as one of the most innovative and effective treatment options for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. Everything from chronic pain to sports injuries respond quickly to this non-invasive procedure. By using acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, shockwave therapy can cause rapid healing and tissue regeneration.

To fill the growing demand for effective and reliable machines to deliver this treatment, a number of brands now offer high-quality options for healthcare professionals. Here is a look at 5 of the top brands in shockwave machines, and what you need to know to make your choice.

Duluth SD1 T-Top

The Swiss company, STORZ Medical AG, has a long history of producing exceptional medical devices, and their flagship product, Duluth SD1 T-Top, reflects this heritage of quality. Suitable for treating orthopedic problems in particular, it stimulates healing for everything from plantar fasciitis to tendinitis.
The Duolith is a popular shockwave brand in part because of its signature SEPIA handpiece, which flexes to reach any part of the body with direct contact, and contains all controls integrated into a single handpiece. These features lead to less user fatigue and a more effective treatment session for the patient.
In addition, the Duolitu is easy to maintain and fix and comes with versatile settings that allow for a customized shockwave experience.

ZWave Pro and ZWave Pro-X

Zimmer MedizinSysteme is a German manufacturer of shockwave therapy devices. Its leading devices, the ZWave Pro and ZWave Pro-X, have a wide range of uses, focused primarily on body contouring. In particular, both of these devices have been proven to make a difference in cellulite reduction, liposuction recovery, and aesthetic treatments.
Equipped with modern, state-of-the-art handpieces, the ZWave Pro and ZWave Pro-X also features Soft Shot technology that reduces the force of the pulse and increases the comfort level of the shockwave experience. Suitable for a depth of up to 35 mm, these devices allow for deep tissue penetration and effective results.
