Shock waves as a preventative measure

Can shock waves also be prescribed as a preventive measure?

No, the indication for treatment for tendon disorders (the so-called 'soft tissues') is currently only for SYMPTOMATIC patients. In cases of bone disease, shock waves may be indicated to treat asymptomatic patients, but with 'active' diseases, or those that can be documented with exams (for example, a fracture that is healing slow or a bone necrosis).
