What is Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave is a treatment modality that emerges from the use of energy conversion and energy conduction to produce corresponding shear forces between different tissues. Shockwave is mainly used for human lithotripsy, and when it acts on the human body, it can promote local tissue changes and produce corresponding effects. For example, when shock waves act on bone tissue, it has the effect of promoting the healing of bone tissue. When shock waves act on some soft tissues, such as myofasciitis of the shoulder and back, calcification of the supraspinatus tendon or other soft tissue disorders, it can promote the acceleration of blood circulation around the soft tissues and reduce the possibility of local inflammatory reactions. In addition, shock wave is effective for some deep fluid accumulation such as pelvic fluid, which may be based on the principle of increasing local blood circulation to reduce the inflammatory response.
