When it comes to any form of shockwave therapy, Storz Medical, with over 200+ patents, is the global innovator and leader in this form of technology.
Shockwave therapy is known as different types of therapy depending on where you search or who you ask:
- shockwave therapy
- stemwave therapy
- radial shock wave
- pressure wave therapy
- acoustical wave therapy
- extracorporeal shockwave therapy
- focus shockwave therapy
- electromagnetic shockwave therapy
- neurolith therapy
Shockwave therapy has been evolving for over 40+ years and is used in Europe and globally for over 20 years. However here in the US, we are very late to the party, with some forms of shockwave therapy only approved by FDA within the few years.

New Research Highlights
Within the last year, new shockwave research is emerging in several different areas. Neurolith Shockwave is being used for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s patients, with initial data showing 11% improvement in cognitive function for Alzheimer patients after 6 treatments.
A cardiac surgeon in Austria performed a quadruple bypass surgery and before closing up the chest, performed direct focus shockwave on the beating heart to help regenerate the damaged heart muscle. The data from this procedure is soon to be published.
Other Treatments
Bone fractures, like nonunion fractures and stress fractures are healing by getting super charged by electromagnetic shockwave
Sexual wellness for both males and females, from erectile dysfunction, prostate issues, chronic pelvic pain, pelvic floor issues, vaginal rejuvenation, to C-section scar reduction.
Cosmetically for facial aesthetics to tighten skin naturally, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fat, and cellulite. Plastic surgeons in Europe use shockwave to treat the surgical area prior to cosmetic surgery, which accelerates the healing and decreases the scar formation.
With thousands of published research articles, Storz Medical and the incredible shockwave equipment they develop will improve our patient outcomes and assist me to empower you to live your best day every day.
