ESWL : ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS (Lithotripsy
is Safest Without any Side Effects)
This modality of treatment is absolutely harmless and with out any
side effects. It is approved by most rigid & strict health standards
all over the world including FDA (America) & DIN (Germany).
Some people may think that if these shockwaves can crush a stone,
why don't these damage the body, as the tissues of body are more
delicate than stone? The answer is that our body has 60-70% of water.
The characteristics of the waves is that these travel through water
without resistance but when come across a stone (which is devoid
of water), lot of resistance is created and mechanical energy is
generated. These energy-loaded waves penetrate the stone surface
at a critical frequency and spread through its substance in various
calculated dimensions, producing multiple cleavage planes in stone
structure..
This phenomenon first produces multiple cracks in a stone, and then
transforms it into small sand like particles, in situ, without damaging
the surrounding body tissues. Its example is like our voice comprising
of sound waves, which travels in air without hindrance but faces
lot of resistance, when hits a different density media, like wall
and echoes back.
Here it is important to point out that these harmless & safe
shockwaves are absolutely different in physics, chemistry &
characteristics from harmful ultraviolet rays used in radiotherapy
for cancer disease. The ultraviolet rays used to burn caner tissues,
effect the surrounding organs of the body to some extent but the
waves used to treat the stone, don't damage the surrounding tissues
at all.
As you know, for pregnancy and other ailments,
many physicians prescribe ultrasound test. During pregnancy, sometimes
this test is repeatedly performed, if the consulting physician considers
it mandatory. This test has gained great popularity, being safe,
and harmless. The shockwaves used for stone crushing are also advance
modified ultrasound waves and are absolutely harmless for human
body.
