A shockwave therapy machine should always be used by a trained healthcare professional or physiotherapist who understands the correct treatment protocols and patient assessment. Before starting treatment, the therapist should evaluate the patient's condition, identify the treatment area, and determine the appropriate energy level, frequency, and number of pulses based on the patient's clinical needs.
The treatment area should be clean, and a suitable coupling gel should be applied to ensure effective transmission of shockwave energy. The applicator is then placed on the targeted area and moved carefully throughout the treatment session. The duration and intensity of therapy should always be adjusted according to the patient's condition and comfort level while following the recommended clinical guidelines.
