Claim 0:
1. A treatment method to reduce a patient's pain after a medical procedure comprises the step of:
activating an acoustic shock wave generator to emit acoustic shock waves;
treating the patient with the acoustic shock waves emitted by the acoustic shock wave generator, wherein the acoustic shock waves comprise a low pulse energy of 0.00001 mJ/mm2 or higher up to 1.0 mJ/mm2 and an amplitude above 0.1 MPa and rise times of the amplitude are below 100 nano-seconds with a duration of the acoustic shock waves being below 3 micro-seconds for a positive part of a cycle by administering acoustic shock waves to one or more reflexology zones of the patient;
subjecting the one or more reflexology zones to the acoustic shock waves stimulating the one or more reflexology zones to have a modulated response wherein the modulated response reduces anxiety of the patient by stimulating or modulating Alpha and/or Beta adrenergic receptors to control and reduce high stress and anxiety while suppressing pain and activating an anesthetic effect, wherein one of the one or more reflexology zones is associated to an adrenal gland and when stimulated modulates hormonal levels of the patient reducing adrenaline and cortisol levels and another of the one or more reflexology zones is associated with a targeted pathology;
wherein the emitted acoustic shock waves are focused or unfocused acoustic shock waves; and
wherein each of the one or more reflexology zones are in a region of a foot or hand or ear of the patient, the reflexology zones being associated with the adrenal gland and the targeted pathology remote or removed from the one or more reflexology zones.
