Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) and Focused Shockwave

​

• It has been found in clinical research that F-SWT can accelerate meniscal degeneration healing and plays a chondroprotective role in OA (helps to delay the joint space narrowing, improving the biomechanics by protecting chondrocytes- cells responsible for cartilage formation). (Cheng et al., 2019).

• This chondroprotective effect is consistent and beneficial in both the early and late stage of OA (Wang et al., 2012).

• F-SWT has been shown to have beneficial effects on cartilage, subchondral bone and surrounding tissues, as well as providing relief from chronic OA pain (Senbo et al., 2020)
