How Does Focused Shockwave Therapy Work?

1. Principles of Focused Shockwave Therapy

When focused acoustic waves enter the tissue, they can create cavitation bubbles (small gas-filled cavities). These bubbles collapse and generate secondary shockwaves, contributing to the therapeutic effect.

2. How Are Shockwaves Generated?

An electrical current passes through an electromagnetic coil, creating a rapidly changing magnetic field. This magnetic field induces a current in a metal membrane or diaphragm, causing it to move rapidly.The movement generates acoustic pressure waves in the surrounding medium, usually water, which are then delivered toward the targeted treatment area.

1. Electromagnetic Induction

An electrical current passes through an electromagnetic coil, creating a rapidly changing magnetic field.

2. Membrane Movement & Wave Generation

The magnetic field induces a current in a metal membrane (diaphragm), causing it to move rapidly and generate acoustic pressure waves.

3. Focused Energy Delivery

The acoustic waves are delivered to the target area, creating cavitation bubbles, which collapse and generate secondary shockwaves.

Conditions Commonly Addressed with Focused Shockwave Therapy

Focused shockwave therapy delivers targeted acoustic energy and can be incorporated into professional treatment programs for selected tendon, fascia, chronic pain, and soft tissue conditions.

Understanding Focused Shockwave Therapy

How Does Focused Shockwave Therapy Work?

Focused shockwave therapy uses concentrated acoustic energy to support tissue repair, pain relief, and functional recovery through several mechanisms.

1. Growth Factor Release

Focused shockwaves may stimulate the release of growth factors, including VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) and BMP (Bone Morphogenetic Protein), supporting tissue regeneration, bone repair, and collagen synthesis.

2. Pain Relief

The mechanical stimulation of shockwaves activates sensory receptors and may temporarily modulate pain signal transmission, helping relieve pain.

3. Substance P Reduction

Shockwave stimulation may reduce Substance P, a neuropeptide associated with pain signaling and inflammation, helping alleviate discomfort.

4. Anti-Inflammatory Effects

Shockwave therapy may help regulate local inflammatory responses and address inflammation associated with persistent pain and tissue injury.

Long-Term Treatment Benefits

• Tissue Remodeling: Repeated treatment may support tissue remodeling and recovery of tissue structure and function, including collagen reorganization and tendon and ligament strengthening.

• Improved Functional Mobility: By addressing pain and supporting tissue recovery and local circulation, treatment may help improve joint mobility, physical function, and quality of life.

General Treatment Guidelines

Treatment energy and duration should be adjusted according to individual patient needs and the condition of the treatment area.

• Superficial Conditions: Use lower energy intensity.

• Deep-Seated Conditions: Adjust energy intensity to support deeper penetration.

• Larger Treatment Areas: Adjust energy intensity to cover a wider treatment area.

Pre-Use Preparation & Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. How Do I Fill Water into the Machine?

Please refer to the operation video for instructions on filling water.

After filling, it is recommended to replace the circulating water every two weeks to maintain the water system. When replacing the water, drain the existing water first before refilling with fresh water. Only distilled water or purified water should be used.

Q2. Why Does the Machine Need Water?

The machine uses a water-cooling system. Before shipment, the water is drained to prevent leakage during international transportation.

If the machine needs to be transported over a long distance, the internal water system should also be drained. The machine should then be placed in an aluminum transport case with foam protection.

Q3. Why Can I Only Use Distilled or Purified Water?

Ordinary tap water contains impurities that may cause scale buildup and damage the water-cooling system. Distilled water and purified water contain fewer impurities and are suitable for use in this machine.

Device Care & Maintenance

Proper maintenance helps keep your focused shockwave therapy equipment clean and ready for use.

After Each Treatment

Wipe the treatment applicator to remove any residual coupling gel after every session.

Every Two Weeks

Replace the circulating water in the device every two weeks to maintain the water circulation system.

Contraindications & Safety Precautions

For safe and appropriate use, review the following contraindications before treatment.

Not Suitable For:

• Pregnant women

• Children

• Patients undergoing tumor radiotherapy or chemotherapy

Absolute Contraindications:

• Pregnancy

• Thrombosis

• Blood disorders, including hemophilia and other coagulation disorders

• Tumors

• Acute inflammation

• Purulent infections at the treatment site
