Clinical Conditions Treated
The SW13B is clinically validated for a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions. Below are the most commonly treated indications, with success rates drawn from peer-reviewed studies:
Foot & Ankle
Knee & Hip
Shoulder
Elbow, Wrist & Back
📚 Clinical Evidence Note
Success rates cited are drawn from peer-reviewed meta-analyses published in PubMed/PMC (Sun et al. 2017; Spacca et al. 2005; Stania et al. 2024; Bannuru et al. 2014). Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) has been FDA-cleared in the US for plantar fasciitis (since 2000) and lateral epicondylitis (since 2002). Individual patient outcomes vary based on condition severity and treatment protocol adherence.
How Pneumatic Shockwave Therapy Works
The SW13B uses ballistic pneumatic energy — compressed air accelerates a precision projectile inside the handpiece, generating high-energy acoustic waves that penetrate deep into damaged tissue.
This stimulates three healing responses:

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly will my patients see results?
Most patients experience noticeable pain reduction after 2–3 sessions. Tendinopathies and chronic conditions typically resolve within 3–5 sessions. Tissue remodeling and continued improvement is documented for up to 12 months post-treatment in peer-reviewed studies.
Do I need medical training to operate SW13B?
SW13B is designed for licensed practitioners — physiotherapists, chiropractors, sports medicine doctors, and other qualified clinicians. The 25 preset programs make routine use straightforward. We also provide free 1-on-1 online training after purchase, including a certification.
What's the ROI for my clinic?
Clinics typically charge $75–$200 per shockwave session. With an investment of $3,050 and routine use, most practices recover their full investment within 3–6 months. Many clinics generate $20,000+ annual revenue per machine.
Is the SW13B FDA-cleared for the US market?
SW13B is CE Certified and ROHS compliant. ESWT technology itself is FDA-cleared in the US for plantar fasciitis (since 2000) and lateral epicondylitis (since 2002). For specific compliance requirements in your country or for your particular intended use, please contact us before ordering at sophia@kmslaser.com.
How often do I need to replace the bullets?
Each bullet is rated for approximately 2,000,000 shots — that's typically 200–400 patient sessions per bullet. We include 5 replacement bullets with every SW13B, providing years of continuous clinical use. Replacement bullets are available for purchase when needed.
Can I customize the machine with my clinic's logo?
