Is focused shockwave therapy new? Is it proven?

Focused shockwave technology is not new. It has been used in medicine for decades, originally to break up kidney stones, and later in orthopaedic and sports medicine settings. Its application to musculoskeletal conditions such as tendinopathies, plantar fasciitis and neuromas is supported by a strong and growing body of clinical research, and it is used by podiatrists, physiotherapists and sports medicine physicians worldwide. When we recommend focused shockwave therapy, it is based on evidence and clinical experience — not a new trend.
