SHOCK WAVE TECHNOLOGIES ARE NOT THE SAME!!!!!

  It's very important to recognize that there are two kinds of wave therapies and there is a difference between what is called acoustic radial therapy vs. true linear shockwave therapy. The acoustic wave therapies marketed everywhere are shock waves that are given to the tissues and damage the cells to get your body to rebuild them. One such example is GAINSWave® Acoustic or GAINSWave® therapy.   This wave doesn’t have as much pressure, last as long, or penetrate the tissue as much as a real shockwave. There is zero evidence for their efficacy and is basically like taking a toy hammer and hitting the tissues. It does absolutely nothing.
