There are a number of different technologies that may be combined with one another to stimulate tissue repair, promote long-term healing and provide a clear path to feeling better. Talk to a medical professional about what’s best for your specific condition. **[Find an Orthopedic Center Near You >](https://www.curagenexhealth.com/find-shock-wave-provider)** ![icons_shock-wave](https://www.curagenexhealth.com/hubfs/icons/icons_shock-wave.svg) Shockwave **Shockwave therapy**, which includes Radial Pressure Wave (also known as EPAT, Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology) and Focused Shockwave (also known as ESWT, Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy), is an evidence-based solution that improves your body’s regenerative potential. Treatment is used in areas where tissue has degenerated because of poor blood flow, tissue injury, overuse or weakness. Because it is non-invasive, shock wave helps you feel better faster -- with no surgery, scarring, anesthesia or downtime. **[See the Research >](https://www.curagenexhealth.com/orthopedic-shock-wave-evidence)** ![icons_emtt](https://www.curagenexhealth.com/hubfs/icons/icons_emtt.svg) Electromagnetic Transduction Therapy (EMTT®) **Electromagnetic transduction therapy (EMTT)** is an evidence-based, non-invasive treatment method that applies high-energy electric pulses to painful areas of the body. EMTT is a largely risk-free method with little to no side effects. Treatment is quick and simple, and performed right in your physician’s office. The device is positioned directly above the affected areas of the body, without the need to remove clothing. **[See the Research >](https://www.curagenexhealth.com/orthopedic-shock-wave-evidence)** ![icons_biologics](https://www.curagenexhealth.com/hubfs/icons/icons_biologics.svg) Biologics **Biologics** like PRP, Stem Cell and Amnio can be used on their own or in combination with shock wave solutions (such as EPAT/ESWT) to provide a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment method that promotes the long-lasting healing of various orthopedic conditions. **[See the Research >](https://www.curagenexhealth.com/orthopedic-shock-wave-evidence)** ![icons_laser](https://www.curagenexhealth.com/hubfs/icons/icons_laser.svg) Laser **Laser** technologies can reduce your pain that may be associated with a variety of different musculoskeletal conditions and forms of pain associated. This includes soft tissue injuries, arthritis, inflammation, sports and overuse injuries and much more. **[See the Research >](https://www.curagenexhealth.com/orthopedic-shock-wave-evidence)** ![icons_ultrasound](https://www.curagenexhealth.com/hubfs/icons/icons_ultrasound.svg) Ultrasound Where *exactly* does it hurt? Sometimes it’s hard to tell. The use of diagnostic ultrasound helps your doctor see and target the source of your pain. Medical professionals often use this technology at the point of care for a real-time, precision guide while conducting shock wave, EMTT, laser and biologic treatment. **[See the Research >](https://www.curagenexhealth.com/orthopedic-shock-wave-evidence)** **What orthopedic conditions are treated with shockwave?
