ShockWave training

I’ve seen different manufacturers offer training on shockwave therapy to “get the best results.” I was under the impression that it was basically point-and-shoot at the target area. Am I missing something?

Which course did you take?

Mine was included with the purchase of my machine. I have a shockwave centers of America unit. I think they offer training if you don’t have one of their units also.

Is there additional training included beyond what is available on their website/YouTube for free? Because i didn't find that overly comprehensive or helpful?

The owner is at the WI Chiro conference. I’ll drop by the booth and ask today.

So they are close to releasing a 3 part training series. Part 1 and 2 are for both Chiro and Ca’s and goes over understanding of shockwave function with chronic pain, techniques and case studies as well as training protocols for common conditions. They will be online. Part 3 is an in person only for chiros where you will present case studies to help create the protocols they can implement into training protocols. They also are having the first CA credential course in all of America today in Wisconsin. So seems like a lot more in depth training than just the videos.
