Clinical Research Progress of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in the Treatment of Osteoarticular Diseases
By reviewing the mechanism of extracorporeal shock wave therapy(ESWT),its application in the common diseases such as cervical spondylosis and frozen shoulder,ESWT could accelerate metabolism and biochemical reaction with the help of ESWT's cavitation and mechanical effects,thus exerting pain relief,nerve repair and anti-inflammatory effects.Although therapeutic effects of ESWT are closely related to the energy intensity,range of action,the times of shock,its effects are saturable to dose,however,we need to find out the most suitable dose in clinical application since there is no unified and standardized norm for therapeutic dose of ESWT,hoping to provide certain reference for the prevention and treatment of osteoarticular by ESWT.
