Scope note: Tratamiento no quirúrgico que emplea ONDAS DE CHOQUE DE ALTA ENERGÍA u ondas acústicas (SONIDO) de baja energía para tratar diversos trastornos musculoesqueléticos (p. ej., la FASCITIS PLANTAR o el CODO DE TENISTA). Una sonda colocada en la piel conduce las ondas de choque ejerciendo así una fuerza mecánica sobre los tejidos corporales.

Scope note: A nonsurgical treatment that uses either HIGH-ENERGY SHOCK WAVES or low energy ACOUSTIC WAVES to treat various musculoskeletal conditions (e.g., PLANTAR FASCIITIS; TENNIS ELBOW). A probe placed on the skin conducts the shock waves thereby delivering a mechanical force to the body’s tissues.
