Treatment of Conditions
The following protocols are not meant to be absolutely precise instructions. When you
handle the machine, you will get a feel for it. Like medicine, the use of this machine is
as much an art as a science. And each patient is unique.
We constantly monitor successful techniques used by other doctors and
physiotherapists. The protocols described in the following pages are based on results
seen in Europe and India. Your results may vary due to differences in diet, lifestyle,
environmental exposures, and operator proficiency.
ACHILLES TENDON IRRITATION/INFLAMMATION
Depending upon the regions to be treated, often divided over multiple areas along the
tendon, the administered number of shockwaves can be from 500 to 1,000 pulses.
The energy setting for each tendon area can vary from low to above midrange. Two
treatments, and in certain cases, up to 4 treatments for Achillodynia are not unusual
due to the potential scale of the injured area.
In general, a maximum number of pulses will
be administered for the very first treatment in
the tendon (often in more than one area). For
the second and possibly third and fourth
treatment, the number of pulses needed per
tendon area will decrease as well as the energy
setting. The first treatment will stimulate tissue
growth and the body will then start to heal
itself; subsequent treatments boost the process.
AFTER THE TREATMENT:
The patient generally experiences a distinct reduction
of symptoms several days after the treatment. One of the first reliefs for these patients
is the experience of less problems with the so
-
called
“
morning stiffness.
”
After
therapy on Achillodynia, it can take a number of weeks before complaint

free status
is reached.
PATIENT INSTRUCTIONS:
For the next 1 to 2 weeks after treatment, the patient
should restrict physical activity involving the feet. Minimize walking and repetitive
movements. Do not overstrain the tendon the first 4 to 6 weeks.
