I cannot answer your question but simply recommend related research. There are so many quacks out there with "clinical" proof or just outright lies about miracle cures. They feed on our hopes and fears, pain and suffering for their profit and benefit.

Hi, no, shockwave therapy is not the same as laser. It can be painful when you goes over inflammed areas. It did fix an area peroneal tendonitis (near my ankle.). When it is done on too high a frequency, it can cause pain later in the day, which does subside, but the person doing it lowered the intensity when I told her this. You can yelp or google reviews for finding a qualified person.
