History
Shockwave was initially revealed to the medical community worldwide fifty years ago when it was used successfully to eradicate urinary stones. In 1982, Shockwave Therapy was introduced into clinical practice to manage and treat urological conditions.
Since its inception, the ever-increasing body of clinical evidence has supported the use of medical shockwave in the fields of Urology, Orthopedics, Sports Medicine, Pain Management & Rehabilitation, Aesthetic Medicine, Wound Healing, Neurology, Cardiology, and Veterinary Medicine, to name a few.
