Will Shock Waves Hurt When Hitting Normal Areas

Normally, shock waves hitting normal areas may cause pain.
Shock waves are commonly used to treat bone and soft tissue diseases, such as heel pain, frozen shoulder, etc. By generating high-energy sound waves that directly act on the affected area, it promotes blood circulation and tissue repair. When shock waves act on normal tissues, due to their high energy, they may cause some mechanical stimulation to the tissues, resulting in temporary pain or discomfort. But this pain is usually mild and does not last long.
When undergoing shock wave therapy, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice and adjust the energy level according to one's own situation to reduce discomfort. In daily life, patients should pay attention to avoiding excessive use of the treated area to prevent repeated trauma or compression, which helps with physical recovery. Pay attention to rest and avoid vigorous exercise in daily life.
If persistent pain or other abnormal symptoms occur after treatment, it is necessary to consult a therapist or doctor in a timely manner.
