Dr. Vince Leone explains that shockwave therapy works by triggering physiological healing, not just masking pain. Pain can drop dramatically within five minutes, but fades without proper follow-up treatment. Framing it as a healing technology rather than a painkiller helps patients understand why the full protocol matters.
And it's significant. The, the first thing I wanna say about any of those things when we talk about this is when we look at, when we look at a shockwave device, a true shockwave device, people need to stop thinking of it as a, as a, as a pain reducer. These machines don't, don't kill pain. They cause healing. And when the body heals, in turn, what do we get? We get a decrease in pain. And it's significant. And, and it's, it's, I mean, it's, you know, in 5 minutes you can, Cause pain to diminish by 50 to 50 to, I mean, 100%. You could, but it's short-lived because it's not, you know, there's a protocol that goes along with it. So when we talk about these machines, you want to be able to talk about them to the patient as it being a healing machine because patients want healing, right? They don't just want pain reduction or they wouldn't be doing the things that we're all doing in our practices, which makes us so successful.
