musculoskeletal diseases. Recent studies showed that ESWT is effective in chronic dia-

betic foot ulcers [

126

, 

127

] and ischemic heart disease [

128

, 

129

].

 

In conclusion, ESWT is a new non

-

invasive therapeutic modality with effectiveness, con-

venience and safety. ESWT has the potential of replacing surgery in many orthopedic disor-
ders without the surgical risks. The complication rates are low and negligible. The exact 
mechanism of shockwave therapy remains unknown. In animal experiments, ESWT induc-
es a cascade of biological responses and molecular changes including the ingrowth of neo-
vascularization and up

-

regulation of angiogenetic growth factors leading to the improve-

ment in blood supply and tissue regeneration. There is a great potential for translational re-
search and development in the armamentarium of extracorporeal shockwave technology.
