27th ISMST World Congress
2025-09-17 - 2025-09-20 | Grand Hyatt Hotel, Bogotá, Colombia, Cl. 24a #57 – 60, Bogotá, Colombia
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.

Dear Friends,
It is a great honor and pride to chair the XI Congress of the Colombian Society of Shock Waves in Medicine OCC.
Bogotá, our beloved capital, characterized by being a multicultural city and an academic benchmark, home to the highest concentration of universities for general medical training and medical-surgical specialties, awaits you with open arms.
Maintaining the highest scientific level of the ten previous congresses, we will have a varied and excellent academic program with national and international speakers from Europe and Latin America, who will share the advances of shock waves in different medical fields.
Joining us from Madrid, Spain, is Dra. Karin Freitag, a member of the ISMST board of directors and former president of the Spanish Society of Shock Waves in Medicine SETOC, from Lorca, Spain, Dr. Juan Miguel Morillas, President of SETOC, from Münster, Germany, Dr. Hannes Muller-Ehrenberg ISMST and DIGEST instructor, from London, England, Dr. Ralph Rogers, an international leader in shockwave, sports medicine and regenerative orthopedics, and from São Paulo Brazil, Dr. José Eid, General Secretary of the ISMST.
Presentations and workshops will cover all shockwave therapeutic scenarios, with updates on approved tendon, muscle, bone, and skin indications, as well as experimental and investigational indications.
We will proudly carry out the only official shock wave certification course in America ISMST-ICC International Certification Course, equivalent to the one that will take place in Korea in July. This is how we offer an extraordinary opportunity to national and Latin American specialists who wish to obtain Your world-class certification or recertification in the use of shock waves in medicine, at a congress in the region, with simultaneous translation, first-line international ISMST official instructors, and without the cost of traveling to the world congress. The official ISMST instructors are Drs. Freitag, Muller-Ehrengerg, Eid and Leal, who will carry out the ISMST-ICC. This course will be carried out for doctors and physiotherapists, with conferences, workshops and written evaluation.
We count on your participation to continue strengthening medical knowledge and disseminating the benefits for patients of the use of shock waves in medicine.
Greetings,

25th WORLD CONGRESS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR MEDICAL SHOCKWAVE TREATMENT
Dear members of the shockwave therapy treatment industry,
We are in a time where the long two years of the Covid pandemic are finally meeting its ends. We are honored to be able to invite every single one of you to the 25th ISMST conference that will be held in Daegu from July 21st to 23rd, 2023.
The committee invites global scholars studying shockwaves in various fields and using shockwave therapy treatments to the conference that will provide information from essential to advanced understandings of shockwaves and other multiple activities.
We are highly confident that “Shockwave treatment in sports and injury,” followed by “shockwave-based regenerative medicine” sessions, will be a great help to keep you on hands with your future experiences in treating different kinds of pain.
Furthermore, we believe that you will be able to find interest in sessions that will discuss the unlimited potential of shockwave therapy even in the expanded field of nervous system, skin, and sex.
The experts in shockwaves will give lectures about the field’s fundamental principles and even share the treatment know-how with you. You will also be given a chance to achieve the “International shockwave therapy approval” by participating in the ICC (Instructional Certification Course) of the ISMST conference.
The ISMST 2023 will be different from the previously held conferences in that the 34th international shockwave symposium, ISSW34, will be simultaneously held in the same week in the same place, in the hope that a synergistic effect of the fields of engineering and medicine will give birth to a new area of integrative shockwave therapeutic study.
We are sure that the ISMST 2023 will be a good opportunity to build a network with world-class experts in the field of shockwaves therapy and create long-term branding and high marketing effects. Thank you for all the attention and support.

Chairman of the ISMST 2023
