Extracorporeal shock wave is a currently recognized effective method for the treatment of chronic pain. It uses high-energy mechanical waves to loosen the diseased target tissues, promote blood vessels, and accelerate the tissue’s own repair function, which has the advantages of fast onset of action, short treatment time, and non-invasive. Our department has carried out shock wave treatment for neck and shoulder pain, frozen shoulder, low back pain, tennis elbow, pear-shaped muscle syndrome, Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis and other chronic tendon diseases, with remarkable efficacy.
