from The Regen Doc Podcast · host Aneesh Garg, DO, CAQ | Physician | Regenerative Sports Medicine Expert
Shockwave therapy has FDA clearance, has been around for decades, and has strong evidence behind it for tendon injuries — and there's a good chance your doctor has never mentioned it. Dr. Aneesh Garg, DO, CAQ explains why: insurance stopped reimbursing it, so most clinics stopped offering it. In this episode he breaks down how focused shockwave actually works, the critical difference between real shockwave and radial pressure waves, and the questions you need to ask before letting anyone treat you with it.Chapters:00:00 Why your doctor has never mentioned shockwave therapy00:59 How insurance killed shockwave — not the evidence03:20 Is shockwave actually shocking your body?
