Learning Objectives:

Explain the physiological mechanisms by which ESWT promotes tissue healing, pain modulation, and cellular regeneration. Demonstrate correct patient positioning, device setup, and parameter selection for administering ESWT in common musculoskeletal conditions. Design an individualized ESWT treatment plan that integrates shock wave parameters and adjunct therapeutic interventions.
