Shock wave Working theory

Shockwaves are transient pressure disturbances that propagate rapidly in three-dimensional space.

They are associated with a sudden rise from ambient pressure to their maximum pressure.

Significant tissue effects include cavitation, which are consequent to the negative phase of the wave propagation.

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

Shockwave therapy was developed in Germany during the late 1960s.

Researchers began studying the effects of shockwaves on the human body

and discovered that they affected different parts of the body in different ways:

For example, electricity had little effect on fat but proved dangerous to the brain and the lungs.

At this point, it was mostly used to break up painful kidney stones to make them easier for patients to pass.

How effective is shockwave therapy?

Sports medicine specialists at Boston Children’s and other centers have observed significant healing

in many of their patients who receive the treatment. Studies are currently underway

to better understand the effectiveness of shockwave therapy.

It is important for patients to know that the results of shockwave therapy may not be apparent immediately

but should increase over time as their injured tissues heal.

Shockwave therapy is often used in combination with other therapies

such as physical therapy and platelet rich plasma injections. In the case of sports-related injuries,

an injury-prevention specialist may work with the athlete to analyze their movement patterns

and help them build strength and adjust their technique, so they are less prone to re-injury.

What is shockwave therapy used for?

Shockwave therapy is an effective treatment modality for a variety of lower and upper limb conditions. These include:

• Bone injuries – Shin splints (MTSS), stress fractures and non-union fractures

• Calcific tendinopathy

• Tennis elbow (common extensor tendinopathy)

• Golfer’s elbow (common flexor tendinopathy)

• Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (also referred to as gluteus medius tendinopathy and/or trochanteric bursitis)

• Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy (also referred to as high hamstring tendinopathy, or hamstring origin tendinopathy)

• Patella tendinopathy

• Insertional Achilles tendinopathy

• Mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy

• Plantar fasciitis
