A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube reel (by Jeff Langmaid) in which a speaker explains that shockwave therapy can help neuropathy by creating action potentials in nerve tissue via the device's wave profile. The speaker also lists common musculoskeletal conditions treated with shockwave: tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis, and osteoarthritic knees. The remark frames neuropathy as a less common but viable application compared with the more typical indications.

Some things that are off the beaten path that also are helped with shockwave that you'll see. Neuropathy is one of them, because wave profile of the impulse that we create with the device, we can create action potential in nerve tissue through shockwave. And so it's there. It's a great option, but it's not like, okay, this is just a shockwave problem. Whereas the tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis, osteoarthritic knees, those are very common things that we're going to see in the world of shockwave.
