For medical professionals evaluating Shockwave technology, selecting the right manufacturer and approved product partner can have decisive implications for the long-term impact of your investment. Shockwave is an evidence-based technology with an 80%+ patient satisfaction rate, but realizing this incredible potential in a real practice still depends on the right education, implementation support, clinical confidence, and a partner who understands how this treatment fits into the economics of patient care.
In this article, we explore the importance of CuraMedix’s long-term partnership approach to integrating this evidence-based technology into your practice. Along the way, you’ll hear from healthcare professionals who currently harness Shockwave technology from CuraMedix.
What to Look For in a Shockwave Partner?
Choosing a Shockwave partner starts with the technology itself. For medical professionals integrating Radial Pressure Wave (Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology, EPAT®) and Focused Shockwave (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy, ESWT) into practice, device quality, treatment versatility, reliability, and clinical confidence all matter. For example, CuraMedix distributes Shockwave and EMTT devices from STORZ Medical, the world’s leading/top manufacturer of evidence-based Shockwave treatment across a range of musculoskeletal and soft tissue applications.

“We chose CuraMedix because they pair best-in-class STORZ technology with genuine, responsive support and real clinician education that makes a difference. Whenever I need anything, the team is easy to work with — it feels like a true partnership, not a transaction.”
Dr. Jason Han, DPT
30 years of research backs the science behind Shockwave technology, but it’s important to recognize upfront that picking the right technology is only part of the decision. To get the most out of Shockwave, medical professionals need a partner that can provide responsive service, implementation guidance, and a practical understanding of how Shockwave fits into day-to-day patient care.
The Importance of a True Shockwave Partnership
Once Shockwave technology is in your practice, the next challenge is making sure it is used consistently, economically, and with strategic purpose for years to come. This long-term need requires a partner who can support the clinical side of implementation by establishing best practices for integrating Shockwave within your continuum of care while also understanding the operational realities of running a practice. Specifically, the right partnership should help connect several priorities at once: selecting the right device, training the team, building confidence in treatment protocols, and defining a sustainable model for adoption. On the patient side, we help think through the details of how to best communicate with patients and set the right expectations.
“We chose CuraMedix as our STORZ Medical partner because they brought clinical knowledge and support, device quality, and business flexibility together in one package.” Dr. Matt Wilson, DC
Thinking Beyond the Initial Search for Shockwave
When practices evaluate Shockwave providers, it can be tempting to focus only on the initial purchase price. But the lowest upfront cost does not always translate into the strongest long-term value, especially when the goal is to make Shockwave a tightly integrated part of patient care.
Successful adoption depends on what happens after the purchase: how quickly the team builds confidence, how clearly use cases are identified, how effectively treatment value is communicated to patients, and how well the technology fits into the practice’s clinical and business model. Proactive guidance can make that process dramatically smoother, helping medical professionals move from initial investment to consistent implementation.
“After evaluating Shockwave technologies across piezoelectric, electromagnetic, and electrohydraulic devices, and considering cost, research, clinical outcomes, and real-world use among Pro teams and major health systems, CuraMedix stood out for the strength and versatility of the STORZ platform and its fit for my athletic patient population.”
Keely Behning, PT
From Patient Outcomes to Practice Economics
Successful Shockwave adoption needs to work both clinically and operationally. CuraMedix helps practices think through both sides of that equation: how Shockwave and EMTT (Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy) support patient care, and how they can become sustainable, revenue-generating parts of the practice model.
“Working with CuraMedix and implementing Shockwave and EMTT has been transformational. Having this option not only helps the patients, but has also been incredibly helpful for the practice, allowing us to simultaneously deliver the level of care we want to provide while generating a healthy amount of revenue.”
Dr. Keith Roed, DPT
Long-Term Education, Training, and Support
A strong Shockwave partnership should continue to add value well after initial implementation. As a practice gains experience with the technology, ongoing service, education, and practical resources help the team keep building confidence and refining how Shockwave fits into patient care.
“STORZ Medical equipment brings a level of confidence to our staff as well as our patients. CuraMedix takes the equipment and adds value with gold medal standard customer service and incredibly helpful resources for a distribution partner. It's been CuraMedix and STORZ for our practice over the last five plus years and will be into the foreseeable future.”
Brett Jaffe, Clinic Owner

Frequently Asked Questions
What Should Medical Professionals Look for in a Shockwave Partner?
Medical professionals should look beyond the initial device purchase and evaluate the full partnership behind the technology. Training, implementation guidance, responsive service, and long-term support all play an important role in helping a practice integrate Shockwave effectively.
Why Does Support Matter When Implementing Shockwave?
Support matters because successful adoption depends on more than installing a device. Practices need to build clinical confidence, identify appropriate use cases, communicate treatment value to patients, and make Shockwave a sustainable part of their care model.
How Can CuraMedix Help Practices Integrate Shockwave?
CuraMedix supports practices through clinician education, practical implementation guidance, responsive service, and ongoing partnership. This helps medical professionals use Shockwave technology with greater confidence and consistency in patient care.
Is the Lowest-Priced Shockwave Provider Always the Best Choice?
In many cases, no. The lowest upfront cost may not reflect the full long-term value of the partnership. Practices should consider the quality of support, training, resources, and guidance they receive after the purchase.
How Can Shockwave Support Both Patient Care and Practice Growth?
Shockwave can help practices offer an evidence-based, non-invasive treatment option while also supporting practice economics. With the right implementation strategy, it can become a meaningful part of both patient care and long-term business sustainability.
