  6. How Shockwave Therapy Works

  7. Shockwave therapy is a targeted type of therapy that can either be in the form of low-energy or high-energy. It can be used to only treat the affected or injured areas. Tendonitis can be treated with both forms of shockwave therapy. The low-energy form of the shockwave is mild or not painful. It involves a series of treatments that can be done three or more times. High-energy shockwave therapy on the other hand is quite painful. Most times, some kind of anesthesia is required for it. The shockwave therapy is administered on the skin covering the tendons which are affected. Rather than using electrical waves for pain relief, it uses acoustic or sound waves. The behavior and shape of the sound waves are radial-like.
