Shockwave therapies are being adopted more widely in vascular intervention, especially for the management of calcified coronary and peripheral disease. Among these options is Shockwave Medical IVL, a catheter-based approach designed to prepare challenging calcified lesions before stent placement. As adoption expands, clinicians rely on evidence and safety data to guide patient selection and procedural...Read More

Pulsewave therapy is a form of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) that uses electromagnetic generation to deliver energy into tissues non-invasively. Gaining insight into its mechanism and indications helps physicians evaluate its role in improving patient outcomes and determine how it fits within their treatment strategies. Defining Pulsewave Therapy and Its Mechanism of Action Pulse...Read More

The use of shockwave technologies in medicine has expanded as clinicians seek non-invasive options for musculoskeletal conditions and chronic pain. HydroWave therapy is one such modality, delivering focused shockwaves to injured tissues. For practitioners, knowing more about hydrowave therapy, its mechanism of action, and applications is important when evaluating how it fits into patient care....Read More

Regenerative skin treatment refers to advanced therapies that stimulate the body’s healing processes for tissue repair. Unlike conventional wound care, these methods promote the regrowth of healthy tissue in complex cases such as severe burns, hypertrophic scars, and chronic non-healing wounds. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) illustrates this approach, using shock waves to repair tissues without...Read More

Regenerative pain medicine is reshaping the way clinicians address musculoskeletal conditions. Rather than masking symptoms, these therapies aim to stimulate the body’s natural repair mechanisms and promote tissue regeneration that restores healthy structure and function. Exploring regenerative pain treatments such as injection-based options and shockwave therapy enables physicians to evaluate their distinct advantages and decide...Read More

In the middle of the South Pacific Ocean—halfway between Fiji and Australia—lies the island nation of Vanuatu, a remote paradise where access to modern healthcare is scarce. Here, amid lush forests and quiet villages, Dr. Paul Kratka, a seasoned chiropractor of 35 years, has found a new calling: bringing hope and healing to people who...Read More

At-a-Glance: Key Takeaway The 2025 AUA Guideline on Male Chronic Pelvic Pain emphasizes non-invasive, multimodal care. Shockwave therapy (low-intensity ESWT) was reviewed and received a high level of evidence rating. Research suggests benefits for pain reduction, urinary function, and sexual health in CPPS and chronic prostatitis. SoftWave provides a non-invasive technology option that can be...Read More

Many meniscus tears do not require surgery and can be managed successfully with non-surgical meniscus tear treatment approaches. Avoiding an operation spares patients the risks associated with surgery and can accelerate their return to normal function. Recent evidence has increasingly favored conservative management for appropriate meniscus injuries, noting that outcomes from non-invasive treatments often match...Read More

Chronic tendonitis, or tendinopathy, is a degenerative condition marked by ongoing pain and reduced function. Repeated strain and incomplete healing often disrupt tendon structure, leaving patients with persistent inflammation and limited mobility. While injections are frequently used as a chronic tendonitis treatment, their impact is usually short-lived. This gap in lasting care highlights the need...Read More

Choosing between shockwave therapy vs ultrasound is a common decision point for clinicians working across orthopedics, sports medicine, urology, and wound care. Both modalities are non-invasive and widely used, yet they operate through very different mechanisms and lead to distinct clinical outcomes. Recognizing how these differences translate into patient indications and long-term results helps providers...Read More
