Abstract The effects of various extracorporal shock wave energy levels and impulse rates were investigated using an in vitro model. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Jurgowski et al (1993) treated patients with two sessions of shockwave at 2,000 impulses per session and reported a marked reduction of symptoms with an average of 30% improvement in the Constant score at the 12 week follow-up. [shockwavetherapy.education]

The impulses are thought to help break up the deposit so the body can more easily absorb it. Recent studies indicate that this form of treatment does help ease pain and reduce the size of the deposit. [humpalphysicaltherapy.com]
