Shock waves are not gravitational waves, they are mechanical waves. It was first used in the medical field in the late 1980s. Urologists used this amazing power to break up stones in the urinary system across the body to achieve stone removal without surgery (extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy). During the lithotripsy process, the doctors noticed: the bone tissue near the stones showed signs of hyperplasia. The urologists then tried to use this miraculous energy of shock waves to treat the non-healing fractures. A miracle happened: 80% of the patients with non-healing fractures recovered. Shock waves are very effective in treating frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, and achalasia. Shockwave therapy is becoming more and more sophisticated and its applications are expanding. Shockwave medicine is developing into a new clinical field for the benefit of mankind.
