Overview of shock wave therapy device
Shock wave therapy device is a medical device that uses high-energy mechanical waves (i.e. shock waves) for treatment. This kind of mechanical wave is a high-energy pressure wave generated by the sudden release of energy. It has the characteristics of instantaneous pressure increase and high-speed conduction. Shock waves are generated when objects move at high speed or explode, which can cause strong compression of the medium and propagate at supersonic speeds. In the medical field, the shock wave generated by the shock wave therapy device is coupled into the human body through a water bag or other means, and focuses on the lesion to achieve treatment.The treatment principle of shock wave therapy device
The treatment principles of shock wave therapy equipment mainly include the following aspects:Stress effect: The shock wave has certain acoustic characteristics during the propagation process. Tension and pressure will be generated at different acoustic impedance interfaces, causing mechanical damage to the material. This effect helps to loosen tissue adhesions and crush abnormal tissues such as bone spurs, thereby achieving the purpose of treatment.
Cavitation effect: When the shock wave propagates in the medium, a series of cavitation bubbles will be generated. These cavitation bubbles will grow, oscillate, and burst during the process, releasing a large amount of energy. These energies help activate cell metabolism and accelerate tissue repair.
Analgesic effect: Shock waves can activate the production of substance p. After continuing for a period of time, the pain threshold increases and the production of substance p decreases. This analgesic effect is important in relieving patient pain.
Metabolic activation: Shock waves change the permeability of cell membranes, accelerate the ion exchange process inside and outside the membrane, and accelerate the clearance and absorption of metabolic breakdown products. This helps improve the nutrient supply and metabolic environment of local tissues and promotes tissue repair.
In addition, the shock wave therapy device also has other effects such as osteogenic effect and production of pro-vascular growth factors, which together provide strong support for the patient's recovery.
Treatment range of shock wave therapy instrument
The treatment range of shock wave therapy equipment is wide, mainly including the following aspects:Bone tissue diseases: such as osteoporosis, osteonecrosis, osteoarthritis, etc. Shock waves can promote bone repair and regeneration and relieve pain and dysfunction caused by bone tissue diseases.
Joint diseases: such as periarthritis of the shoulder, knee arthritis, ankle arthritis, etc. Shock waves can loosen joint adhesions, improve joint mobility, and relieve pain and stiffness caused by joint diseases.
Soft tissue diseases: such as muscle strain, muscle strain, ligament strain, etc. Shock waves can accelerate soft tissue repair and regeneration and relieve pain and swelling caused by soft tissue diseases.
Vascular diseases: such as phlebitis, hemangioma, etc. Shock waves can improve blood vessel function, promote blood vessel regeneration and repair, and relieve pain and discomfort caused by vascular diseases.
Nervous diseases: such as cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, facial nerve paralysis, etc. Shock waves can promote the recovery and regeneration of nerve function and relieve symptoms such as paralysis and numbness caused by neurological diseases.
Therapeutic advantages of shock wave therapy equipment
Compared with traditional physical therapy methods, shock wave therapy equipment has the following advantages:No side effects, no trauma, and no radioactivity: The shock wave therapy device uses mechanical waves to treat without surgery or drug intervention, so it has no side effects, no trauma, and no radioactivity.
Simple operation and short treatment time: The shock wave therapy device is easy to operate and the treatment time is short. Patients do not need to be hospitalized for a long time or undergo complex treatments.
No pain, rapid onset of effect, and obvious curative effect: The shock wave therapy device has no obvious pain during the treatment process, and has rapid onset of effect and remarkable curative effect. Patients can experience significant improvement and relief within a short period of time.
Future development trends
With the advancement of science and technology and the continuous development of medical technology, shock wave therapy devices will have broader application prospects in the future. On the one hand, with the continuous in-depth research on the mechanism of shock wave therapy, its treatment scope will be further expanded; on the other hand, with the continuous advancement and innovation of technology, shock wave therapy instruments will be more intelligent, precise and personalized, providing patients with Bringing a safer, more effective and more convenient treatment experience.
In short, as an emerging physical therapy device, shock wave therapy equipment has broad application prospects and important value in the medical field. In the future, with the continuous advancement and innovation of technology, I believe that shock wave therapy equipment will bring good news to more patients.
