Shockwaves create multiple microtraumas in the tissue of an injured area. These microtraumas accelerate the body's natural healing process, which is a series of biological events aimed at repairing and regenerating the damaged tissue. Increased blood flow to the injured area caused by the shockwaves encourages the development of new blood vessels and tissue cells. The increase in blood flow also aids in providing nutrients and oxygen to the damaged tissue, hastening the healing process.
