아~~~이런 차이가 있었군요^^ 잘 알아봐야겠어요^^
These days, many people are receiving shock wave therapy for musculoskeletal issues. Make sure to check the type of shock wave before receiving treatment~
Focused shock wave
The diagnostic function is excellent (able to distinguish between the painful area and the normal area).
The treatment effect is rapid and strong, suitable for deep tissue therapy.
The treatment area is narrow, and there is severe pain during treatment.
Apply to tennis elbow, calcific tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and patellar tendinitis.
Radial shock wave
Treatment is available for large areas (effective for myofascial release - literally loosening muscle knots or tight spots).
The pain during treatment is not significant. (It's similar to using a massage gun to relax muscles.)
It is difficult to treat deep areas. After treatment, bruising or redness may remain.
This is the principle of releasing tension in the trapezius muscle or the broad muscle area.
Make sure to check and confirm when receiving shockwave therapy at the hospital~
