Mechanism of Action
Shockwave is an acoustic wave which carries high energy to
painful spots and myoskeletal tissues with subacute, subchronic
and
chronic conditions. The energy promotes regeneration and reparative
processes of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues.
Shockwaves are characterized by jump change in pressure, high
amplitude and non-periodicity.
The kinetic energy of the projectile, created by compressed air, is
transferred to the transmitter at the end of the applicator and
further into the tissue.
