EDITOR'S MEMO

Although the term “shockwave” might evoke images of high-tech sonic phenomena, its application in healthcare is deeply rooted in sound physics and evidence-based science. To explore the full scope of this technology, turn to page 12 for our Shockwave Showcase. This section breaks down the science of Shockwave therapy, its benefits, and even provides a guide to differentiate the major players in the market.

Looking to dive deeper? Be sure to see Dr. Davis McAlister’s article, “Evidence-Based Applications of Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy,” on page 32. In this deep-dive, you’ll learn how acoustic wave therapy can accelerate healing, stimulate stem cell activity, and boost collagen synthesis—achieving faster recoveries than the body’s natural healing process alone.

And for those focused on sports care, don’t miss extremity adjusting expert, Dr. Kurt Juergens feature on page 26, “The Role of Chiropractic Care in Sports Injuries and Rehabilitation.” This article explores the different types of soft tissue injuries that chiropractic care can help, playing a pivotal role in addressing soft tissue injuries and helping athletes get back to peak performance.
