Description
Why Pneumatic Shockwaves are the Best for Physiotherapy?
Pneumatic Shockwave Therapy produces Radial shockwaves. They are called Soft Shockwaves and penetrate deep and effectively without focussing energy at a single point. This is the best and most effective technique used in pain management. Patients feel very comfortable during the treatment and pneumatic shockwaves have a much wider range of applications.
Other methods of generating shockwaves employ – Electromagnetic. Piezo Electric and Spark Discharge methods. These shockwaves are focussed waves that are essential for ‘surgical’ interventions, but given their destructive nature, they are less appropriate for therapeutic uses. Electromagnetic shockwaves are small tabletop low-cost machines. Eventually, they don’t last long and also need frequent maintenance as they heat up. Also, the therapeutic efficacy is not comparable to the advanced Pneumatic shockwave machines.
