Shock waves are acoustic waves with extremely high energy peaks, such as those produced in the atmosphere by explosive phenomena like lightning strikes or sonic explosions. A shock wave differs from ultrasound in its extremely wide pressure amplitude. What’s more, ultrasound usually consists of a periodic oscillation, whereas a shockwave is a single pulse.<\/p>\n

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is the application of shockwaves in medicine.<\/p>\n

When applied to damaged tissue, pressure waves stimulate metabolic reactions. It’s clinically proven:<\/p>\n
