What Is the Principle of Shockwave Therapy Machine in Treating Bone Pain?

Shockwave Therapy Machine is a medical device that treats a variety of diseases by generating high-energy shock waves. Its working principle is relatively complex, involving mechanical stress effect, cavitation effect, analgesic effect, metabolic activation effect, and osteogenesis effect.

Mechanical stress effect: Shock waves will generate high-energy pressure waves during propagation, which can cause micro-deformation and stress changes in tissues when acting on human tissues. This mechanical stress can stimulate cell proliferation, differentiation and repair, and promote tissue regeneration. For example, in the treatment of nonunion of fractures and bone defects, shock waves can stimulate the activity of bone cells and promote the formation of new bones.

Cavitation effect: When the Shockwave Therapy Machine transmits wave energy in tissues, it will generate tiny bubbles, which will expand and burst rapidly under the action of shock waves, producing a cavitation effect. The cavitation effect can destroy the cell structure of the diseased tissue and promote tissue repair and regeneration. For example, in the treatment of tendinitis and bursitis, shock waves can destroy tiny blood vessels and nerve endings in the inflamed tissue, reducing pain and inflammation.

Analgesic effect: Shock waves can stimulate nerve endings and release analgesic substances such as endorphins, thereby producing an analgesic effect. Shock waves can also inhibit the conduction of pain signals and reduce pain sensations. For example, in the treatment of chronic pain syndrome, shock waves can relieve pain symptoms and improve the patient's quality of life.

Metabolic activation effect: Shock waves can promote local blood circulation, increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients to tissues, and promote the excretion of metabolites. This metabolic activation effect can accelerate tissue repair and regeneration and improve the treatment effect. For example, in the treatment of muscle strain and soft tissue injury, shock waves can promote local blood circulation, reduce inflammation and edema, and promote tissue repair.

Osteogenesis effect: Shock waves can stimulate the activity of bone cells and promote the formation of new bone. This osteogenic effect can be used to treat diseases such as nonunion of fractures, bone defects and osteoporosis. For example, in the treatment of nonunion of fractures, shock waves can stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of bone cells, promote the formation of new bone, and accelerate the healing process of fractures.

In daily life, if you need to use Shockwave Therapy Machine for treatment, you should choose a regular medical institution and doctor to operate it. Before treatment, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the patient's condition to determine whether it is suitable for treatment with the shockwave therapy machine. During the treatment, the patient should cooperate with the doctor's requirements and avoid excessive activity and strenuous exercise to avoid affecting the treatment effect. At the same time, the patient should also pay attention to diet and rest, maintain good living habits, and promote physical recovery.
