A short YouTube video by Jeff Langmaid explaining how shockwave therapy targets tissue that can replicate to promote full healing and, when applied at higher intensity, can break down scar tissue, fibrous adhesions, and calcium deposits (e.g., bone spurs) that impair biomechanics. The speaker highlights both regenerative targeting and stronger shockwaves used to mechanically disrupt pathological deposits/adhesions.

We're targeting tissue that can replicate itself to repair and make sure that we're getting full healing in an area that may not have healed properly the first time. Then we can go so far as a really deep, really powerful shockwave that can actually break down some of the scar tissue, fibrous adhesions and calcium deposits. That's creating an improper biomechanics or somebody that just wants to knock out, you know, a bone spur or something like that.
