Focused shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to produce effects in tissues. For clinicians and patients alike, understanding the physics behind this technology is key to understanding how it works. This post breaks down the core principles of shockwave physics from wave propagation to the different types of devices used in clinical practice.
