Principle
Shock waves use the principle of energy conversion and transmission to cause energy gradient differences and torsional tension between tissues of different densities, and form cavitation and biological effects. Shock waves are divided into mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves, which act on local tissues to achieve therapeutic effects. When it passes through human tissue, its energy is not easily absorbed by superficial tissue, and it can directly reach the deep part of human tissue.
Extracorporeal shock wave is a kind of mechanical wave with both acoustic, optical and mechanical characteristics. Its characteristics are that it can reach a peak pressure of 500 bar in extreme time, with a short period and a wide spectrum.
There are two main reasons why shock waves can be used to improve pain:
1. Extracorporeal shock waves affect neuronal receptor potentials and block the pathways, thereby acting as an analgesic.
2. Extracorporeal shockwaves adapt the integrity of microcirculation endothelial cells, increase the adhesion of leukocytes, and form free radicals, releasing vascular endothelial growth factor and analgesics such as substance P.
