Rehabilitation Services
- VersaTron Shock Wave Therapy : “VersaTron® generates the highest peak pressure (energy) shock waves of any system and delivers to the largest focal volume – so it’s the ideal system for treating orthopedic conditions. Energy is released as a shock wave at tissue interfaces where the density of the tissue or impedance of the sound waves changes. These changes of impedance occur where soft tissue, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bone meet. The energy released leads to a cellular reaction that causes the release of various proteins including BMP-2, eNOS, VEGF, and PCNA. Neovascularization takes place, leading to increased blood supply to the treated tissue, resulting in tissue regeneration in tendons, joints, and bone. VersaTron® allows for customized penetration depths up to 110 mm, deeper than any other device. So, you can tailor the treatment for a chronic wound, a suspensory ligament or a sore back. The 5 mm, 20 mm, 35 mm and 80 mm trodes allow shock waves to penetrate to different depths while various energy settings for each Trode allow further customization.”
