Shockwaves part 2: What the heck are they anyway? Different from ultrasound? What's the point? Do they work? Etc. The big shockwave picture.

Shockwave therapy is…ultrasound reborn!

A schematic contrasting the overall shape of shock waves, sound waves, and ultrasound waves … not to scale! Ultrasound waves are dramatically more frequent that shock waves, or even low-frequency sound waves: you might only get a few big shock waves per second, but ultrasound machines will pump out more than 20-30 thousand much smaller sound waves in the same second! Any properly scaled diagram that shows one of them clearly will render the other effectively invisible.
