๐Ÿ”น Joint pain is a common phenomenon in our daily life and work, due to long-term desk and long-term use of computers, it is easy to cause joint pain, shoulder and neck stiffness, lumbar muscle strain, carpal tunnel syndrome and other symptoms.

๐Ÿ”น Shockwave therapy, as one of the most effectiveness physical therapy modality on promoting local micro-circulation, it can be a good choice for joint pain. The similar concept of promoting qi and collaterals in traditional Chinese medicine, shockwave therapy for joint pain has been recognized by most patients.

๐Ÿ”น Shockwave therapy can improve local blood circulation and release soft tissue adhesion through the mechanical effect of shock wave.

๐Ÿ”น In addition, shock wave can stimulate tissue repair rapidly after entering the human body.

๐Ÿ”น Shock waves also produce analgesic effects, inhibiting pain information transmission and other effects. Therefore, radiation shock wave can treat local lesions, promote injury healing and accelerate tissue repair.

๐Ÿ”น The features of shockwave therapy are non-operation, small treatment trauma, short time and significant curative effect, save medical resources and reduce medical expenses of patients.

How does shock wave physiotherapy treat joint pain?

๐Ÿ”น Shock wave therapy for arthritis treatment can have a better results. Shock wave therapy belongs to physical therapy, using shock wave transmitter to generate pressure pulse and causing acoustic wave in the patient's body surface tissue, so as to strengthen the micro-circulation and the body tissues metabolism.

๐Ÿ”น Shockwave therapy can play an important role in anti-inflammatory, swelling, inhibition of bacteria and other effects.

๐Ÿ”น Shock wave has a good therapeutic effect on all stages of arthritis, as follows:                      

ยท In the early stage, it is mainly used for some degeneration and strain of ligaments and muscles around the joint.

ยท In the middle stage, after the articular cartilage have been changed, shock wave therapy can be carried out for the diseased cartilage through precise positioning, which can also play a good role in improving the state of cartilage.

ยท In the late stage, the joint space has narrowed, and the degree of cartilage wear is serious. At this time, it is mainly to improve the symptoms and improve the function of the patient's joint pain.

How does shockwave therapy treat joint inflammation?

๐Ÿ”น  It is mainly through the positioning or movement of the transmitter, it can have a good therapeutic effect on the tissue of the pain areas, and can also release pain chemicals to relieve local pain.

๐Ÿ”น  When experience shock wave therapy, endorphins will be produced, thus reducing the patient's pain sensitivity.

๐Ÿ”น  It is an effective treatment method to improve the inflammatory response of the affected area, promote the recovery of bone tissue, avoid calcium deposition, and reduce edema.

Indication of shock wave therapy machine

1. Bone tissue disease

๐Ÿ”น  Delayed fracture union and nonunion, adult femoral head necrosis, knee osteoarthritis, etc.

2. Chronic soft tissue injury diseases

๐Ÿ”น  Calcific supraspinatus tendinitis, Subacromial pain syndrome, long head biceps tendinitis, lateral humeral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), medial humeral epicondylitis (golf elbow), palmaral wrist pain, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, Achilles tendon pain/Achilles tendon (mucoid) bursitis, neck trigger point therapy, specific low back pain and root syndrome, tenosynovitis, Pain of hip joint and iliotibial band, patella chondromalacia, jumping knee/patella tendinopathy, etc.

3. Other skeletal muscle dysfunction

๐Ÿ”น  Muscle spasm after stroke, postherpetic neuralgia, etc.

The advantages of shock wave therapy machine:

๐Ÿ”น  Safe and non-invasive: small tissue trauma, avoid the traditional surgery pain.

๐Ÿ”น  Precise treatment: treatment can be carried out only after precise positioning and marking.

๐Ÿ”น  High cure rate: after 3-5 shock wave treatment, more than 80% of patientsโ€™pain can be relieved.

๐Ÿ”น  Short treatment period: 3-5 times as a course, 5-15 minutes at a time.

๐Ÿ”น  Low risk: few complications, no risk of infection.
