At Idaho Center for Integrative Medicine, we’re one of the only clinics in Idaho offering both true Focused and Radial Shockwave Therapy — two separate, world-class systems engineered in Europe for precision tissue regeneration.
Our Storz Medical Focused Shockwave device penetrates up to 12 cm deep, targeting tendons, joints, nerves, and even bone to restore blood flow and activate the body’s natural healing response. Our LiKAMED Radial Shockwave device delivers powerful therapy too, being the only Radial Pressure wave system to offer true “Wide Focus” technology.
Most clinics have only a radial system (much less expensive than Focused), which treats just the top few centimeters of tissue. ICIM’s dual-system approach allows us to treat everything from superficial trigger points to deep chronic injuries—and even vascular erectile dysfunction (ED)—with unmatched precision, safety, and scientific backing.
True focused shockwave therapy uses electromagnetic energy to generate pressure waves that converge at a defined focal point deep within the body.
Penetration depth: up to 12 cm (4.7 inches)
Energy output: up to 0.55 mJ/mm²
Mechanism: promotes angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth), stimulates stem-cell activation, and enhances collagen remodeling.
Because the waves converge beneath the skin, Focused Shockwave can precisely treat deep orthopedic, neurologic, and urologic conditions that radial systems cannot reach. This includes chronic tendinopathies, discogenic pain, neuropathy, and ED related to vascular insufficiency.
Radial Shockwave (LiKAMED – Germany)
Radial systems use compressed air to accelerate a projectile inside the handpiece, generating acoustic pressure waves that disperse outward.
Penetration depth: approximately 3–4 cm (1.2–1.6 inches)
Energy output: up to 0.4 mJ/mm²
Mechanism: releases myofascial adhesions, improves circulation, and relaxes muscle tone.
Radial therapy is ideal for broad, superficial regions—like muscle tightness, tendinitis near the surface, and soft-tissue inflammation—but it cannot effectively treat deep joints, nerves, or vascular structures.
• Trigger points and muscle contractures • Calcific deposits and fibrosis • Cellulite and scar remodeling
Why ICIM’s Shockwave Therapy Is Different
True Depth of Treatment: Only focused shockwave can reach up to 12 cm below the surface—far deeper than the 3–4 cm limit of radial systems used in most clinics.
Two European-Engineered Systems:Storz Medical (Switzerland) and LiKAMED (Germany) have led shockwave innovation for over three decades, backed by extensive safety and clinical research.
Tailored Approach: We select the right device for your condition—superficial, deep, or combined regions—ensuring optimal healing.
Synergistic with Regenerative Therapies: Pairing shockwave with PRP, Prolozone, peptides, or stem-cell protocols amplifies results by improving circulation, tissue oxygenation, and cellular response.
Drug-Free, Non-Invasive, Proven: No anesthesia, no surgery, and no downtime—just results that help patients move, perform, and live better.
What the Research Shows
Peer-reviewed studies in The American Journal of Sports Medicine, The Journal of Sexual Medicine, and Lasers in Medical Science demonstrate that both focused and radial shockwave therapies:
Stimulate neovascularization and collagen synthesis
Enhance tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation
Break down calcific deposits and scar tissue
Improve nerve function and chronic pain sensitivity
Restore erectile function by improving penile blood flow and nitric-oxide signaling
These modalities have been safely used in Europe for over 30 years and are FDA-cleared in the U.S. for chronic musculoskeletal pain, tendon disorders, and other soft-tissue conditions.
Experience the Difference
Few clinics in the Northwest—and only a handful in Idaho—offer true Focused Shockwave Therapy alongside advanced Radial Shockwave. At ICIM, our comprehensive regenerative approach combines these proven technologies with PRP, peptides, and functional medicine for faster recovery and lasting results.
