27th ISMST World Congress
September 17 - September 20
Dear ISMST Members, Colleagues, and Friends,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are honored and privileged to invite you to the 27th ISMST World Congress, taking place from September 17-20 at the spectacular Grand Hyatt Hotel in Bogotá, Colombia. This congress offers an exciting opportunity for our global community to come together, exchange knowledge, share innovations, and strengthen our collective efforts in advancing the field of shockwave treatments.
The ISMST World Congress has long been the premier platform for fostering collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and industry leaders. This year, our academic program enhances our commitment to exploring new frontiers in shockwave treatments and their expanding applications. From foundational principles to cutting-edge advancements, our program is designed to train both experienced practitioners and newcomers alike.
We will celebrate 25 years of Shockwave Treatments in Latin America, a journey we began in Bogotá and São Paulo in 2000. It has been a profound honor to lead this movement, evolving from initial skepticism to strong evidence and widespread adoption. Today, we take pride in our role as co-chairs of this World Congress. What started as collaboration between Colombia and Brazil has expanded throughout the Americas, and we remain committed to fostering teamwork and driving continued growth in the field.
Highlights of the 2025 Congress will include expert-led lectures and discussions, where participants will gain valuable insights from leading authorities, sharing their research findings, clinical experiences, and visions for the future. Specialized tracks and workshops will cover key topics such as pain management, sports medicine, dermatology, cardiology neurology, and regenerative medicine. Additionally, a pre-congress instructional course will focus on ultrasound-guided procedures, injectables, and orthobiologics, enhancing the therapeutic integration of regenerative medicine technologies.
The ISMST ICC Hands-on Instructional Certification Course provides practical training and the chance to earn an official ISMST International Certification Diploma through mentorship by experienced instructors. This prestigious global certification in shockwave medicine focuses on training doctors and physical therapists annually. The ICC covers the proper use of medical and therapeutic shockwaves, pressure waves, and the most effective methods for applying and following treatments. Attendees who pass the ICC will automatically become ISMST members at no additional cost. This exclusive opportunity to learn from top experts and ISMST instructors is available only once a year—don’t miss this invaluable experience in Bogotá.
Networking opportunities will allow attendees to engage with colleagues from around the world in an atmosphere conducive to collaboration and knowledge exchange. The social program will also highlight Bogotá’s cultural and historical treasures, offering a perfect balance of professional development and leisure.
We are committed to creating a vibrant, inclusive environment that fosters learning, growth, and meaningful connections. Your participation and contributions are what make our congress truly special, and we look forward to welcoming you to Bogotá for an unforgettable event.
