Available in focused and radial forms, it offers hope for recovery without surgery.
Description
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)
PRIMARY CLINICAL & DIAGNOSTIC USES
1. Treatment of Chronic Tendinopathies
-
Primary Use: Delivers focused or radial shockwaves to treat chronic tendinopathies including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee), lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), and rotator cuff tendinopathy. Shockwaves stimulate tissue healing, reduce pain, and promote neovascularization.
-
How it helps: For the orthopedic surgeon, sports medicine physician, and physical therapist, ESWT provides a non-invasive treatment option for chronic tendon conditions that have failed conservative management—stimulating healing and reducing pain without surgery. For the patient with chronic tendon pain that has not responded to rest, therapy, or injections, shockwave therapy offers hope for recovery without the risks of surgery.
2. Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis
-
Primary Use: One of the most common indications for ESWT, delivering focused shockwaves to the plantar fascia insertion to reduce pain, inflammation, and promote healing in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis unresponsive to conservative treatment.
-
How it helps: For the podiatrist and orthopedic foot and ankle specialist, ESWT provides an effective non-surgical option for patients suffering from chronic heel pain—reducing pain and improving function without the risks of surgery. For the patient with persistent plantar fasciitis who has tried stretching, orthotics, and injections without relief, shockwave therapy offers a path to pain-free walking.
3. Treatment of Calcific Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
-
Primary Use: Focused shockwave therapy is used to fragment calcific deposits in the rotator cuff tendons, reducing pain and improving shoulder function. The shockwaves break down calcium deposits and stimulate tissue healing.
-
How it helps: For the orthopedic shoulder specialist, ESWT provides a non-invasive alternative to surgery for patients with painful calcific tendinopathy—breaking down calcific deposits and relieving pain without the need for arthroscopic debridement. For the patient with a painful calcified rotator cuff, shockwave therapy offers the possibility of pain relief without surgery.
4. Treatment of Non-Union Fractures and Delayed Union
-
Primary Use: Focused shockwave therapy is used to stimulate bone healing in patients with non-union fractures (fractures that have failed to heal) and delayed union. The mechanical stimulation promotes osteogenesis and revascularization at the fracture site.
-
How it helps: For the orthopedic trauma surgeon, ESWT provides a non-surgical option for stimulating bone healing in fractures that have failed to unite—potentially avoiding the need for bone grafting and revision surgery. For the patient with a fracture that has not healed after months of immobilization, shockwave therapy offers hope for bone healing without additional surgery.
5. Treatment of Myofascial Pain Syndrome and Trigger Points
-
Primary Use: Radial shockwave therapy is used to treat myofascial pain syndrome by delivering shockwaves to trigger points, reducing muscle tension, pain, and improving range of motion in conditions such as chronic neck pain, back pain, and muscle spasms.
-
How it helps: For the physical therapist and pain management specialist, ESWT provides a non-invasive tool for treating chronic myofascial pain—releasing trigger points and reducing muscle tension without needles or medication. For the patient with chronic muscle pain and tightness, shockwave therapy offers relief when other treatments have failed.

Exercise Bicycle
$1.00
An Exercise Bicycle is a stationary bike with adjustable resistance and seat positioning used for cardiovascular conditioning, lower extremity strengthening, and rehabilitation in clinical and fitness settings. Available in upright, recumbent, and semi-recumbent configurations, the exercise bicycle provides low-impact aerobic exercise that improves cardiovascular fitness, strengthens quadriceps and hamstring muscles, and supports gait retraining without excessive joint loading. For the cardiac rehabilitation specialist, the exercise bicycle provides safe, monitored aerobic exercise following myocardial infarction or bypass surgery. For the physical therapist, the stationary bike enables closed-chain strengthening and range of motion recovery following total knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, or hip surgery. For the patient with osteoarthritis, stroke, Parkinson's disease, or peripheral arterial disease, regular cycling improves mobility, reduces pain, and enhances functional independence. Featuring adjustable resistance levels, heart rate monitoring, and ergonomic seating with back support on recumbent models, the exercise bicycle accommodates patients across the lifespan and functional spectrum—from frail elderly to athletic populations.
Lazy Bike
$1.00
A Lazy Bike is a compact, portable seated pedal exerciser designed for passive, active-assisted, or active lower extremity cycling while the user remains seated in a standard chair, wheelchair, or recliner. Unlike traditional stationary bikes that require standing, balancing, or transferring to a specialized seat, the lazy bike places the pedal unit on the floor in front of the user, allowing patients with severe deconditioning, lower extremity weakness, neurological impairment, or post-operative restrictions to initiate lower extremity movement safely from their own chair. Adjustable magnetic or friction resistance allows for progressive strengthening, while forward and backward pedaling engages different muscle groups. For the physical therapist and rehabilitation specialist, the lazy bike provides an accessible entry point to lower extremity rehabilitation for patients who cannot yet tolerate upright exercise, including those recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, joint replacement, cardiac surgery, or critical illness. For the patient with limited mobility, regular lazy bike use maintains joint range of motion, activates the calf muscle pump to reduce edema, prevents deconditioning, and supports functional recovery—all while remaining safely seated in their own chair.
Magnetic Bike
$1.00
A Magnetic Bike is a stationary bicycle utilizing magnetic resistance technology for smooth, quiet, low-maintenance operation, designed for cardiovascular conditioning and rehabilitation in clinical and home settings. Unlike friction-based resistance systems, magnetic resistance uses magnets positioned near a flywheel to create eddy current resistance without physical contact—eliminating friction pad wear, providing consistent resistance across all levels, and enabling whisper-quiet operation suitable for home use and clinical environments. Available in upright and recumbent configurations, the magnetic bike offers joint-friendly, non-weight-bearing exercise that strengthens quadriceps, hamstrings, gluteals, and calf muscles while improving cardiovascular fitness. For the physical therapist and rehabilitation specialist, the magnetic bike provides precise, repeatable resistance levels for therapeutic exercise prescription, with recumbent models accommodating patients with balance impairment, low back pain, or difficulty mounting standard upright bikes. For the patient recovering from total knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, osteoarthritis, or cardiac event, the magnetic bike enables safe, progressive strengthening and conditioning that improves function, reduces pain, and supports return to independent living. Digital consoles with heart rate monitoring and pre-programmed exercise protocols allow for objective progress tracking and telehealth integration.
