5. Reason for Authority Cited: Premier Shockwave is the only known nationwide company that provides the necessary rental of mobile Ossatron Therapy devices to perform Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) on soldiers and patients. The Ossatron is the only FDA approved device on the market capable of providing high-energy electro-hydraulic extracorporeal shockwave therapy for degenerated tendons (Achilles tendonitis), heel pain (plantar fasciitis) and tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). ESWT devices create a pulsed acoustic wave via electro-hydraulic method and provides effective and better results for essential patient care and their healthcare providers.
