Description

A shockwave is defined as a wave with a rapid increase of pressure within a very short time and then having a gradual decrease of pressure with a small negative pressure phase. Shockwave is aimed at the affected areas that are the source of chronic pain. The influence of the shockwaves causes to the dissolution of calcium deposits and leads to better vascularization. The after-effect is relief from the pain.
Pneumatic shockwave: the shockwave system uses the ballistic principle of shockwave generation. A pressure wave is formed via a projectile by using accelerated compressed air. The compressed air is generated by an electronically controlled ballistic-pressure compressor. Using elastic impact, the kinetic energy of the projectile is transferred into the probe of the applicator and then into the client’s body. Consequently, during the treatment, the end of the applicator must be in direct contact with the skin and subcutaneous tissue.
Electromagnetic shockwave: it is through a high-voltage capacitor to an inductive coil discharge, inductively generated electromagnetic field, electromagnetic field into kinetic energy to drive the handle of the bullet movement, the bullet impact on the working head to generate shock waves, shock waves through the human body tissue to reach the affected area.
