Abstract
First successful extracorporeal shockwaves application in medicine was the non-invasive kidney stone disintegration in 1980. It took about 10 years to recognize that low intensity shockwaves have the ability to stimulate healing process in the body. Shockwaves proved to be efficient for the treatment of non-unions, tendon and muscular pain, delayed wound healing, heart insufficiency, erectile dysfunction and of other indications. The working principle is the mechanical stimulation of biological processes called mechanotransduction resulting in increased cell metabolism, release of nitric oxide and of numerous growth factors.
