ISMST's international mission aligns closely with that of the new American Society for Medical Shockwave Treatment’s US momentum, with both societies united to elevate standards and strengthen evidence-based clinical excellence in Shockwave treatment and regenerative medicine.
At CuraMedix, it's the company we keep, which is defined by education, collaboration, and innovation.
That spirit of partnership was evident in Bogotá, where science met inspiration and CuraMedix clinicians shared, learned, and led along with the experts from around the globe.
Founded in 1997, The International Society for Medical Shockwave Treatments (ISMST) unites global experts to advance shockwave science, education, and evidence-based standards through international collaboration and annual congresses.
The ISMST 2025 World Congress in Bogotá, Colombia, was packed with high-interest learning opportunities over 4 days, including 14 sessions, 56 talks, 8 workshops, and networking opportunities. Over four days, attendees had the opportunity to explore advances in ESWT, EMTT, and regenerative applications.
“The ISMST 2025 World Congress in Bogotá was an extraordinary success, bringing together leaders and innovators from around the globe to advance shockwave and regenerative medicine,” stated Dr. Leal. “The strong participation of ASMST physicians from the United States was especially meaningful, enriching the scientific program and fostering valuable international collaboration. We extend our sincere gratitude to CuraMedix for their generous support and shared vision, as we look forward to the continued growth and integration of ESWT throughout North America.”
The International Society for Medical Shockwave Treatments (ISMST) fosters global collaboration, research, and education in Shockwave and regenerative medicine technologies, driving the field forward through annual congresses, certification courses, and academic exchange.
The scientific sessions were compelling, but equally impactful was what the CuraMedix KOLs contributed to and gleaned from this global forum.
We are proud to partner with KOLs, leaders dedicated to lifelong learning, collaboration, innovation, and clinical mastery in regenerative medicine technologies.
CuraMedix healthcare providers are not just participants, they are dedicated thought leaders raising the global standard for regenerative medicine technologies.
CuraMedix continually raises the bar in supporting medical professionals with evidence-based technologies, in-depth education, and access to world-class collaboration, delivering unmatched value to the clinicians they serve.
A common sentiment echoed among CuraMedix KOLs in attendance at ISMST 2025 in Bogotá was the critical importance of ongoing learning, the value of collaboration nationally and internationally, and gaining insights to be best positioned for the fantastic future of Shockwave medicine.

Dr. Robert Conenello, DPM, Orangetown Podiatry
As one of the few American clinicians deeply engaged in this global movement, I'm proud to raise the standard of care at home continually.
I left Bogotá with a deeper understanding of mechanotransduction, new tissue strategies, and what we're truly doing to heal each patient."
Dr. Brian Nathanson, DC
Some noteworthy insights:
Virtual reality will shape future provider education.
New data supports integrating orthobiologics with Shockwave.
Global collaboration will strengthen US education and clinical standards.
Beyond the science, ISMST fosters meaningful social and cultural exchange, creating lasting professional connections."
Dr. Robert Monaco, MD, Atlantic Sports Health
The experiences in Bogotá didn't end with closing ceremonies; instead, they set the tone for what's next in US Shockwave medicine.
The American Society for Medical Shockwave Treatment (ASMST) is the US counterpart of ISMST, dedicated to advancing the same mission stateside.
CuraMedix KOLs are integral to both ASMST and ISMST, holding leadership roles, shaping the educational agenda for US clinicians, and participating in and presenting at international events hosted by ISMST.
The ISMST experience underscored how collaboration crosses borders. In the US, ASMST provides the national framework to carry that learning forward to its members.
For those who left Bogotá energized by what's possible, the next step lies much closer to home.
