Editorial
It is with great honor and responsibility that I write for the “Journal of Regenerative Science” in an issue dedicated to Brazil, highlighting the importance of the Brazilian Medical Society for Shock Wave Treatment (SMBTOC). The invitation from the editor-in-chief, Dr. Daniel Moya, is recognition of our continuous efforts in promoting health and innovation. Furthermore, I feel grateful and honored by the eminent responsibility.
Since our founding on March 08, 2001, SMBTOC has been a driving force in the field of shock waves in Brazil. It was born from a group of orthopedic enthusiasts in São Paulo. It soon expanded its horizons to encompass various medical specialties, such as Physiatry, pain clinic, anesthesia, rheumatology, radiology, acupuncture, among others.
The growing popularity of shock wave treatment, based on strong scientific evidence and proven efficacy, highlights the importance of performing it under the supervision of well-trained and qualified physicians. This focus maintains the integrity and efficiency of the method, distancing us from the risks associated with less successful practices.
In 2018, we reformulated our name to the SMBTOC, reflecting the breadth and diversity of our commitment. Our impact is strengthened through social media, digital platforms and educational programs, which have already trained more than 1,000 doctors, a true demonstration of our commitment to professional excellence and innovation.
In the international arena, SMBTOC has solidified its leadership by actively participating in the founding of the International Federation for Shock Wave Treatment in March 2023, in Cosenza, Italy. This international collaboration fosters ethics, research and education in the therapeutic use of shock waves, both focal and radial.
We are immersed in a dynamic and constantly evolving world; SMBTOC‘s commitment is to translate scientific evidence into efficient clinical practices through various educational events. This continuous effort is vital to improve the quality of health and, consequently, the quality of life of patients.
Finally, adhering to the spirit of service, I recognize that our mission is built on rigorous ethics, continuous learning, and the vision of altruistic associativism. Cognitive humility guides us in understanding that there is always room for growth and innovation.
Let us continue, SMBTOC, as a legacy of many who preceded us and who now works to foster a future full of significant contributions to medicine and global health.
With everyone’s effort, our society has consolidated itself as one of the largest and most important in the world in the study of shock waves, and we will continue to grow and innovate.

Editorial
The Brazilian Medical Society for Shockwave Therapy (SMBTOC) has a long history. It was created nearly 24 years ago, specifically on March 8, 2001 [1]. It is probably the second largest in the world, after the Chinese society. I have been fortunate to be in contact with the institution from its very 1st day, which has allowed me to closely follow its evolution and gain a deep understanding of its development. It is a good example of what any scientific society should be.
What is Expected from a Scientific Association?
Scientific societies play a fundamental role in various fields:
1. Regulations: A scientific society, especially when based on the use of a specific technique, studies its mechanisms of action, evaluates which devices are suitable and their features, describes indications and contraindications, develops treatment protocols, and warns about possible complications. In this way, guidelines and recommendations are developed, creating evidence-based directions for medical practice to ensure quality patient care [2].
Based on these recommendations, reliable medical services are accredited.
In the case of SMBTOC, the institution’s commitment is admirable and undoubtedly surpasses any other in the world.
2. Education: Medical education without ideological or commercial bias is an essential role of scientific societies. Since its creation, SMBTOC has been developing training courses at different levels, workshops, and international congresses. Its work has expanded in Brazil’s vast territory. SMBTOC has reached even the most remote corners of the country.
Beyond basic education, due to the dynamic nature of our field, continuous medical training is necessary for ongoing updates. SMBTOC implements this through its “Advanced Courses,” dedicated to professionals already certified with vast prior experience.
3. Hierarchy of Scientific Information: The past few decades have witnessed an exponential growth in scientific publications [3], but not everything published is necessarily true [4]. It is the responsibility of scientific societies to distinguish accurate information from low-quality or commercially biased data.
4. Forum for the exchange of experiences: Scientific societies connect professionals from different generations with varying levels of knowledge, perspectives, commercial trends, and even values.
The interaction in a single environment of professionals with different backgrounds and approaches to their profession, and varied levels of experience enriches discussions and provides balance between different trends. In this respect, SMBTOC is also an example to follow, being a society open not only to participants from Brazil but also from all of Latin America.
The exchange of information enriches the group and benefits our practice.
SMBTOC puts this into practice not only through in-person meetings but also through frequent webinars it organizes.
5. Promoting research and advancing knowledge: It is another fundamental task of any scientific society. The generation of new ideas and the search for new applications and protocols are reflected in the high number of publications originating from SMBTOC.
6. Protection of their members: Scientific associations must look after the interests of all their members, including safeguarding professional practice, upholding the hierarchy of medical acts, and actively protecting their members from unfair legal demands. In the past SMBTOC has given very strong evidence of the determination of its Boards of Directors to fulfill this task.
7. Role in society: Science has moved away from secrecy and opened up to society. While this has many positive aspects, indiscriminate access to information has a downside. The general public is not educated to distinguish between true and false information. Social media is full of pseudoscientists spreading fake news and incorrect interpretations of real data. There is also a lot of information with commercial tendencies. Unfortunately, even “serious professionals” have joined this wave to gain “clients” or simply take shortcuts in the once slow and tedious process required to gain academic recognition.
8. International collaboration: Scientific collaboration is as old as science itself [5]. In today’s times, we have tools that facilitate interaction between different national scientific societies. Above all, this interaction must be based on mutual respect, integrity, transparency, and reciprocity [5].
Defending these values is not always easy for Latin American scientific societies. Modern Western science was deeply entangled with colonialism, and the legacy of this still permeates science today [6].
There is a tendency to underestimate local scientific production and points of view, especially in a procedure such as shock waves, that initially had a “Eurocentric” bias.
SMBTOC has also faced these attempts of “intellectual imperialism” [6]. However, it remains the only recognized scientific institution in the field of shockwaves in Brazil by the “Conselho Federal de Medicina” (Federal Council of Medicine). It is endorsed by the Brazilian Society of Orthopedics and Traumatology, a massive association that invites SMBTOC to participate scientifically in its annual National meeting. It also has the support of the vast majority of international scientific societies in the specialty.
In summary, medical scientific societies are fundamental for maintaining quality, innovation, and ethics in medicine, as well as improving public health through collaboration and education. SMBTOC is a great example of this.

Abstract
Focused shock waves are a frequently used non-invasive therapeutic option for the treatment of rotator cuff calcifications. Over the last 30 years, numerous studies have been published that support its high level of recommendation. Reports of complications are isolated and very infrequent. In this communication, we analyze why there are no valid arguments to relate the application of shock waves with rotator cuff injuries.

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.

Abstract
Introduction: Adhesive capsulitis causes chronic shoulder pain and restricted range of motion (ROM). Conventional treatments often offer limited relief, prompting the need for innovative approaches, such as high-intensity pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy, shockwave therapy, and orthobiologic injections.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a multimodal approach combining shockwave therapy, high-intensity PEMF therapy, orthobiologic injections, and complementary therapies in improving pain and shoulder function in patients with adhesive capsulitis.
Methods: This retrospective case series included five patients treated in Indaiatuba, São Paulo, Brazil, between May 2023 and October 2024. Individualized multimodal protocols were performed. Pain and ROM were assessed pre- and post-treatment.
Discussion: All patients showed significant improvements in pain and ROM after treatment. High-intensity PEMF therapy, shockwave therapy, and orthobiologics enhanced tissue regeneration, supported by complementary therapies. Personalized protocols optimized outcomes, with synergistic effects observed between treatments.
Conclusion: A multimodal, personalized approach effectively reduced pain and improved function in adhesive capsulitis patients. This strategy shows promise, especially for those unresponsive to conventional treatments, warranting further research.
