Abstract

The use of shock waves in musculoskeletal pathologies has become very widespread in recent years. However, a clear consensus has not been reached regarding therapeutic parameters, and there is great variability in treatment indications and protocols.
This publication seeks to diagnose the situation in Latin America and is based on a survey carried out on physicians from different specialties and countries who practice the therapeutic use of shock waves. The questionnaire was carried out during the first Congress of the International Federation of Shock Wave Treatment and the V Brazilian Congress of Shock Wave Therapy.
Keywords: Shock Waves; Survey, Musculoskeletal
