Summary
This study tests three types of wave therapies—focused shockwave, radial pressure waves, and electromagnetic therapy—to treat leg injuries like muscle, cartilage, and bone damage. Researchers at Mayo Clinic will enroll 200 adults to see if these treatments reduce pain and improve daily function. The goal is to find a non-invasive option that avoids surgery or medication.
