The mechanism by how it works is that the unit uses the natural repair mechanisms of the human body. The stimulus produced by the shock wave is transformed into chemical-cellular-biological activity, a process known as “mechanotransduction”.
The shock wave unit has several different parts that work together to generate the shock waves. The onboard computer controls an air compressor that is attached to a wand. Inside the wand is a metal projectile (like a little bullet) that travels back and forth with a frequency and intensity based on the condition being treated.
