Not all shockwave therapy is the same.
Shockwave therapy use is growing in the US.
Very few clinicians pursue formal international training in it.
Last fall I attended the 27th World Congress of the International Society for Medical Shockwave Treatment (ISMST) in Bogotá, Colombia and completed the International Certification Course in Shockwave Medicine.
Following the scientific sessions and hands-on clinical workshops, I passed the certification examination and earned ISMST Certification for the application of Radial Pressure Wave Therapy.
The ISMST is the global scientific society responsible for advancing the research, treatment protocols, and clinical standards for shockwave therapy worldwide.
Four days of lectures, case discussions, and hands-on labs with physicians and clinicians from around the world focused on one thing: how to use shockwave therapy correctly.
In shockwave therapy, outcomes depend heavily on diagnosis, dosing, tissue targeting, and treatment progression.
That knowledge informs how shockwave is used every day at Remedy Sports Medicine for tendon injuries, arthritis, chronic soft-tissue conditions, and stubborn musculoskeletal pain.
Evidence matters.
Training matters.
Ex*****on matters.
