What is the difference between electromagnetic shockwave and pneumatic shockwave?
Shockwave therapy devices are categorized into pneumatic and electromagnetic types based on technical principles, both offering effective pain relief. Pneumatic shockwave delivers stronger energy (up to 6 Bar) and deeper penetration, with bullets lasting 3 million shocks compared to 2 million for electromagnetic. This makes pneumatic shockwave particularly effective and comfortable for bone pain relief.
