Compressed air within the applicator creates kinetic energy via the projectile in the sound-head to then transfer an acoustic wave into the tissue. This acoustic wave transfers high energy into the painful musculoskeletal areas of the body. This transfer of energy into the tissue stimulates the reparative and regenerative processes in the bones, tendons and other soft tissues of the body.
|
Formation of New Blood VesselsAcoustic waves from the Shockwave applicator create the micro-ruptures in the capillaries which leads to an increase in circulation to promote repair processes.
|
Decrease in Chronic InflammationApplication of acoustic waves increases mast cell activity which interrupts the inflammatory process.
|
Collagen Production StimulationShockwave application stimulates the production of collagen which is required to repair many musculoskeletal and ligamentous structures in the body.

Release of Pain Mediator "Substance P""Substance P" is is a neurotransmitter that helps to mediate pain via the C nerve fibres. Release of "Substance P" often aids in the decrease of chronic and persistent pain.
|
Decrease in Calcified FibroblastsAcoustic waves help to break apart existing calcification that have developed as a result of previous traumas to the area.
|
Trigger Point ReleaseThe acoustic waves delivered to the trigger point in the body help to unblock the calcium pump in the muscle and thus reverses the metabolic crisis in the myofilaments resulting in trigger point release.
