Short YouTube video (Anne Truong MD, uploaded June 24, 2024) explaining differences between focused shockwave therapy and acoustic (radial) shockwave therapy. The speaker describes a probe with a soft silicone tip used in focused shockwave that "goes deep" to the cellular level and reaches about 12 cm depth, versus an acoustic/radial device that uses an internal projectile/bullet striking a metal interface, causing a more superficial, umbrella-like spread and reaching about 4 cm depth. The acoustic device is described as more widespread and not as deep as the focused device.

Has a probe, and it has a kind of like a soft silicone tip. And this is called focus shockwave. And it goes deep and it goes to the cellular level. Now, contrast that with the other shockwave. It's called shockwave, but it's really called acoustic that way. So what it is, it has the bullet that is on the inside that travels through the barrel back and forth like this. And that bullet, when it hits the metal interface, it causes a change in the tissue, almost like a physical change. It only goes to about 4 cm versus 12 cm for the focus. But as you can see, the head is kind of widespread right here, and it spreads out like an umbrella, so it doesn't go deep like a laser.
