What is the shockwave therapy?
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), as a non-invasive treatment method, utilizes high-intensity energy waves, namely “shock waves”, and is a treatment approach for various musculoskeletal diseases. It can effectively relieve pain and promote the body’s healing. This therapy precisely targets the injured soft tissues, significantly alleviating the patient’s discomfort. Meanwhile, it accelerates the body’s natural repair process, helping patients recover their health as soon as possible.
What types of shock wave therapy devices are there?
In the medical field, as an advanced treatment device, extracorporeal shock wave therapy devices are generally divided into two types: electromagnetic shockwave devices and pneumatic ballistic shockwave devices. Among them, the working principle of the electromagnetic shockwave therapy device is to generate high-intensity shock waves through electromagnetic induction. The pneumatic ballistic extracorporeal shockwave therapy device uses the energy generated by compressed gas to drive the bullet body in the treatment probe, making it hit the front end of the treatment head at high speed, thereby generating shock waves.
What is the difference between pneumatic and electromagnetic shockwaves?
Electromagnetic shockwave therapy device can release high shock wave energy, which shows powerful efficacy during the treatment process. At the same time, its depth penetration ability is also very remarkable, allowing it to penetrate deep into the body tissues and precisely act on deep-seated diseased areas. Pneumatic ballistic extracorporeal shockwave therapy device have relatively milder energy output, but its pulse frequency adjustment range is relatively wide, enabling flexible adjustment according to different treatment needs. In terms of treatment applications, pneumatic ballistic shock waves are more commonly used in the treatment of some superficial soft tissue diseases.
Does shockwave therapy work for pain?
Yes, shockwave therapy is considered an effective treatment for pain, particularly for musculoskeletal issues like tendon injuries, as it can stimulate the body’s natural healing process by delivering acoustic shockwaves to the affected area, leading to pain reduction and improved tissue regeneration.
What can shockwave therapy be used for?
Shockwave therapy offers benefits to patients suffering from painful soft tissue issues (involving muscles, tendons, and ligaments), as well as joint and bone conditions. It is effective for individuals with sports – related or overuse injuries. Moreover, it can be advantageous for those engaged in physiotherapy for various health complaints.
Is shockwave therapy suitable for everyone?
Shockwave therapy is a safe, effective treatment if given in a professional setting, but there are circumstances where it isn’t advised, please refer to the page of precautions and contraindications for use.
How often should l do shockwave therapy?
The duration of a single treatment varies depending on the type and severity of the disease or pain. In most cases, the treatment lasts for 3 to 5 minutes. On average, the interval between treatments is 5 to 7 days.
Are there any adverse effects?
ESWT (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy) is characterized by excellent safety and remarkable efficacy. During the treatment process, the shock waves may cause discomfort or even pain to the patients, yet the vast majority of patients can tolerate it. After the treatment, there may be a slight bruise, but this phenomenon is only temporary and extremely rare in actual treatment cases.
