ABSTRACT:
A method of treating pathological conditions associated with bone and musculoskeletal environments and soft tissues involves applying acoustic shock waves to cause localized trauma, including micro-disruptions, non-osseous tissue stimulation, increased vascularization, and circulation and induction of growth factors to induce or accelerate the body's natural healing processes and responses.
