Extracorporeal shock wave therapy in musculoskeletal disorders
To the Editor We read with interest the review article by Dr. C.J. Wang concerning ‘Extracorporeal shockwave therapy in musculoskeletal disorders’ published recently in the Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research (2012, 7:11). Despite many interesting approaches, this article unfortunately ignores some major achievements that have been made during the last years in extracorporeal shock wave...
متن کاملExtracorporeal shockwave therapy in musculoskeletal disorders
The sources of shockwave generation include electrohydraulic, electromagnetic and piezoelectric principles. Electrohydraulic shockwaves are high-energy acoustic waves generated under water explosion with high voltage electrode. Shockwave in urology (lithotripsy) is primarily used to disintegrate urolithiasis, whereas shockwave in orthopedics (orthotripsy) is not used to disintegrate tissues, ra...
متن کاملShock wave therapy (Orthotripsy) in musculoskeletal disorders.
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy, which now is used routinely for urolithiasis, has gained increasing acceptance in Europe for some musculoskeletal problems and has led to the inception of clinical studies in the United States. The authors have reviewed the available literature to assess the biologic effects of shock waves on human musculoskeletal tissues, the credibility of published studies ...
متن کاملShedding light on laser therapy for musculoskeletal disorders
laser therapy as a medical intervention has been in use or under investigation for more than 40 years. But whether these treatments are fruitful or futile remains a topic of discussion—a conversation that starts by scrutinizing the state of the science. Low-level laser therapy—or cold laser therapy—is categorized into three classes based on wattage and hazard potential, ranging from less than 1...
متن کاملExtracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in Musculoskeletal Disorders: A Review
Regenerative therapy is one of the most challenging and intriguing branches of modern medicine. Basic research has demonstrated the effectiveness of extracorporeal shockwaves (ESWT) in stimulating biological activities that involve intra-cell and cell-matrix interactions. These interactions are at the basis of the current clinical applications, and open the horizons to new applications in tissu...
