Who Can Use the Primo Radial Shockwave Unit?
The Primo Radial Shockwave Unit is designed for use by medical professionals and clinicians, providing patients with a non-invasive and drug-free alternative to traditional treatment. If you facilitate routine therapy treatments, such as in an orthopaedic hospital or during sports therapy, then you may find that some patients prefer to undergo a course of shock therapy rather than a more invasive or drug-based alternative.
How Will Shockwave Therapy Help My Clients?
Shockwave therapy provides a controlled wave of mechanical energy that works to increase musculoskeletal mobility. It provides drug-free pain relief and encourages tissue regeneration. This is particularly useful for clients with superficial orthopaedic conditions.
How Long Does Shockwave Therapy Treatment Last?
An individual shockwave therapy session typically lasts around 10 minutes, with each course of therapy comprising around four to six sessions. However, this may vary depending on the type of condition and the individual being treated.
How Does the Radial Therapy Treatment Work?
The radial wave therapy device delivers extracorporeal wave energy that's generated by an electromagnetic projectile mechanism. The energy impulse is transmitted to the tissue, where it creates a counter-irritation effect to modulate pain, improve blood circulate, and increase lymphatic drainage. In summary, it transfers tissue from a chronic to an acute state, which in turn stimulates the body's natural repair process.
The Primo unit facilitates shockwave treatments that have been recognised by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). You can find a host of articles on the NICE site that further explain how shockwave treatment can be used to relieve symptoms caused by a range of musculoskeletal conditions.
How Easy to Use Is the Primo RWT Unit?
The Primo radial therapy unit is designed for ease of use by a clinician, allowing you to easily adjust the settings and then save your customisations for future use. It features a large colour touchscreen for easy reading of information, and includes a selection of preset treatment suggestions that you may wish to use instead of customising your own. There is little maintenance required with the device, and an operator's manual is also included with your purchase for your reference.
How Long Will the Treatment Tips Last?
The Primo shockwave machine includes three applicator treatment tips (6mm, 15mm, and 25mm), and each of these is designed to withstand around 1,000 to 1,500 treatments (or around 3 million to 4 million shocks) before showing any sign of degradation. This is if they are used with the silicone cap, and cleaned regularly inside with a cotton bud.
