Abstract

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy is one of the essential conservative treatment methods for musculoskeletal disorders. In Korea, it has been widely used since it was recognized as a non-payment item in 2005. On the other hand, there are still many controversies about the indications for use, and there are few clear standards for this in Korea. Therefore, the authors present guidelines for extracorporeal shock wave therapy by confirming the latest trends through this review and focusing on indications.
