Principle
Shockwave is the use of high pressure to cause water explosion to produce sound wave energy, these sound waves are reflected by the reflector and concentrated into a high-energy shock wave. The energy of the shock wave is about one thousand times that of the ultrasonic wave. It causes a physical shock in the human body, stimulates the release of growth hormone, causes microangiogenesis, and achieves the function of tissue regeneration and repair. The shock wave can promote tissue metabolism and circulation; the shock wave contains pain relief and tissue repair Function, it has an amazing curative effect on chronic pain of muscle health fascia disease and fracture nonunion.
Advantages

- 2. The body not burdened by pharmaceuticals, except the short-term effect of local anesthesia is used.
- 3. The possibility of preventing the necessity of surgical intervention and its relevant hazards.
- 4. For some indications, such as tennis elbow, there is really no other effective treatment.
