A short interview-style YouTube video (by Jeff Langmaid) introducing shockwave therapy. The opening exchange defines 'shockwave' as the preferred terminology for the therapy and frames the discussion around why the treatment has gained popularity, with an emphasis on clarifying misconceptions about devices versus the therapy itself.
I think there's a lot of docs out there that have heard a lot about shockwave over the last few years. But let's start with the basics. What is shockwave therapy, and why, in your opinion, has it become so popular?
Sure, and I think that's a great place to start, because shockwave has been almost misconstrued as far as, okay, this versus this, machine versus that. Shockwave should be used as the terminology for the therapy.
Right.
So every device is a shockwave device, whether it's, you know, stem wave, softwave, all kinds of other different branding names out there. But think of it from the baseline. Shockwave is the therapy term, and we use that to help us describe what happens to the human body when we administer a shockwave.
