Knowledge
Some of the biological responses related to shockwave include:
Pain relief
Increased and improved cell metabolism
Substance P release –a neuropeptide that triggers the inflammatory response but also plays an important role in cell division and wound repair.
Growth factor release – important for cell proliferation and wound healing
Stem cell activation and attraction to the target areas of treatment
Unmyelinated nerve decrease – most unmyelinated nerves carry pain signals
Anti-inflammatory effects – come from opening lymph nodes, removing scar tissue and adhesions in fascia, improving local blood circulation
Nitric oxide release –a vasodilator that allows for improved blood flow locally
Angiogenesis – process where new blood vessels are grown (typically happens around 4-6 weeks after treatment and can produce 200-300% more regional blood circulation).
These biological processes lead to regeneration and repair in tissues such as skin, tendon, muscle and bone. Radial pressure wave therapy is capable of producing some of these same effects but at a much more superficial and less intense level than focal shockwave therapy.
Shaanxi Miaokang Medical Shock wave therapy equipment, as an outstanding representative of this technology, is becoming a good steward of pain management.
