ORTHOSPEC
Treating A Wide Range of Orthopedic Disorders
Orthospec™ – Medispec’s Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) system is the ultimate solution for chronic orthopedic indications (as described below). The Orthospec was developed after extensive theoretical expertise and practical experience in the field of shock wave therapy, as one of its masterpieces and one of the most significant devices in the orthopedic field. When other therapies such as corticosteroids and conventional physiotherapy fail, Orthospec provides highly efficient results; it is a safe, non-invasive and rapid non-surgical method for treating resistant or nonresponsive orthopedic injuries, as well as chronic inflammations, reducing pain and increasing function level dramatically. The system is available in three models; Orthospec Classic, Orthospec Compact and Orthospec Desktop.

How Orthospec works™ ?
Extracorporeal Shock waves are applied directly onto the pain source, resulting in analgesic effect. In addition ESWT induce multiple favorable biological effects such as: attenuation of inflation, vasodilation and improved perfusion, induction of angiogenesis, fragmentation and absorption of calcium deposits, tissue regeneration (e.g. Ostegenesis). The treatment protocol varies between one to several sessions, depending on patient’s condition, the severity of the pathology and the individual healing rate. An outpatient procedure lasts up to 20-30 minutes.
