Shockwave therapy mechanism

  Pain management and pain relief Radiation shock wave (RSWT) therapy is effective for chronic pain. The main mechanism for treating pain is to “treat pain” rather than simply “stop pain”. This technology uses pneumatic ballistics to shoot high-speed bullet collision to generate low- and medium-energy shock waves to impact the affected area several times, forming micro-injuries to activate the body’s self-healing system, thus achieving the purpose of “curing”.  Radioactive shock wave therapy principle of action: 1, the biological effect of cavitation The cavitation effect refers to the shock wave transmission path, the medium contains tiny vapor bubbles, under the action of continuous shock waves, the gas will be extremely high speed expansion, resulting in micro-jet. This effect can accelerate the microcirculation of the tissue at the impact site and thus improve local tissue blood circulation to play a therapeutic role.  2, the biological effect of stress The biological effect of radioactive shock wave into the body, the path of different media, such as fat, tendons, ligaments, etc., different tissue interfaces can produce different stress effects, tensile stress produces relaxation, promote microcirculation; compressive stress can make the cell elastic deformation to increase cellular oxygen uptake, so as to achieve therapeutic purposes.  3, the biological effect of piezoelectric action radioactive shock wave action in the human tissue, the mass of positively charged ions is much greater than the mass of negatively charged ions and electrons, under the same pressure, produce biological current that is the microcurrent effect. Studies have shown that microcurrent stimulation can increase adenosine triphosphate by nearly 500%, improve the level of amino acid conversion and protein synthesis by 30-40%, capillary hyperplasia by 300%, and greatly improve capillary perfusion.  4, metabolic activation effect Radioactive shock wave can promote local blood circulation, accelerate tissue metabolism to promote the formation of elastic fibers, causing changes in tissue local cell membrane permeability, thereby promoting the repair of soft tissue damage. The metabolic response can make the ion exchange process inside and outside the cell active, and the end products of metabolic decomposition are removed and absorbed to facilitate the reduction and remission of chronic inflammation.  Radioactive shock wave treatment for chronic pain is injury-initiated muscle self-repair therapy, and muscle self-recovery takes time; therefore, the immediate effect cannot be pursued.
