A shockwave is defined as a wave with a rapid increase of pressure within a very short time and then having a gradual decrease of pressure with a small negative pressure phase.
This shock wave initiates an inflammation- like response in the injured tissue and accelerates the healing process by regenerating blood vessels, and also provides pain relief for the patient:
Shockwave has the following effects:
- Cellular: Increase in cell membrane transmittance by improving ionic channels activity, stimulation of cell division, stimulation of cellular cytokines production.
- Reproduction of vessels in the area of tendons and muscles: Improvement of blood circulation, increase in concentration of growth factor beta1, chemotactic and mutagenic effect on osteoblasts.
- Effect on nitrogen oxide system: Bone healing and remodeling.
- Improvement of micro-circulation and metabolism.
- Dissolution of calcified fibroblasts.
- Supports the production of collagen.
- Reduction in tissue tension.
- Analgesic effect.
Advanced:
- By the targeted application of the shockwaves, stress to the surrounding tissues is quite insignificant.
- The body not burdened by pharmaceuticals, except the short-term effect of local anesthesia if used.
- The possibility of preventing the necessity of surgical intervention and its relevant hazards.
- For some indications, such as tennis elbow, there is really no other effective treatment.
