Highlights

The therapy with shock waves enabled a rapid recovery of the patients attended and their incorporation into daily activities
For more than 20 years, medical technology with great potential to improve or replace some invasive procedures has been successfully applied in the world, such is the case of Extracorporeal Shock Wave therapies
In 1997 the European Society for Muscleskeletal Shock Wave Therapy was established in Vienna, due to the rapid diffusion of the method, in 1999 it was renamed the International Society for Muscle-skeletal Shock Wave Therapy [1]

Summary

Introduction

For more than 20 years, medical technology with great potential to improve or replace some invasive procedures has been successfully applied in the world, such is the case of Extracorporeal Shock Wave therapies. In 1997 the European Society for Muscleskeletal Shock Wave Therapy was established in Vienna, due to the rapid diffusion of the method, in 1999 it was renamed the International Society for Muscle-skeletal Shock Wave Therapy [1]. The application of this therapy has proven to be safe and effective, as it has avoided surgical procedures. In the case of its therapeutic application, the wave is transmitted through a coupling pad that is a liquid medium that, having an acoustic consistency similar to that of the human body, favors its transfer. The depth of penetration of the shock wave focus into the tissues can be varied by modifying the thickness of the coupling pillow [1,2]
