How an innovative collaboration between eminent consultant neurosurgeon Mr Ioannis Fouyas and Edinburgh Focus Shockwave pioneer Osteopath Helen How took a severely compromised patient on the road from under a life of pain and drug therapy to the road to recovery.

The below article which was originally published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine illustrates how Focus Shockwave Therapy treatment was used in collaboration with surgical procedures to treat severe nerve entrapment and collapsed discs.
