These waves create percussions which, when reaching damaged tissues, cause microtraumas, triggering a healing response from the body.
In fact, the microtraumas precisely and controlledly induced by these impacts lead to increased collagen production and the formation of new blood vessels. By stimulating the body's healing process in this way, ShockWave therapy accelerates the regeneration of damaged...
