Dr. Monaco presents at 27th World Congress of the ISMST

In September 2025, the city of Bogotá, Colombia, hosted the 27th World Congress of the International Society for Medical Shockwave Treatments (ISMST). This congress, celebrating 25 years of shockwave medicine in Latin America, brought together leading clinicians, researchers, and innovators in musculoskeletal regenerative therapies.

Among the distinguished speakers, Dr. Robert Monaco presented lectures on Ultrasound and Precision in Regenerative Procedures and Shockwave (ESWT) in rehab medicine, function, recovery, and modulation. He also facilitated a hands‑on workshop, focusing on ultrasound‑guided regenerative injections and the integration of laser techniques. This post delves into his contributions and their significance for the evolving field of regenerative musculoskeletal medicine.

ISMST 2025 & Regenerative Medicine Trends

The ISMST congress is a premier forum devoted to shockwave (ESWT) therapies, mechanotransduction, and the convergence of advanced regenerative approaches. The 2025 program included a mix of keynote lectures, specialty tracks, and hands‑on workshops, reflecting how the field has developed from early testing to being used in everyday medical practice.

Dr. Monaco’s sessions offered a bridge: how to bring precision imaging (ultrasound) into regenerative interventions, and how to combine modalities (ultrasound, shockwave, laser) to optimize patient outcomes.

Why Dr. Monaco’s Contributions Matter

• A Respected Global Leader in His Field:
  At the 27th World Congress of the ISMST in Bogotá, Dr. Robert Monaco was recognized among an elite group of experts, standing out as one of the world’s most trusted and forward-thinking practitioners in regenerative musculoskeletal medicine.

• Mastering Precision, Function, and Recovery:
  His lectures on ultrasound-guided regenerative procedures and shockwave therapy (ESWT) in rehab were a testament to his expertise and pioneering approach that blends science, technology, and patient-centered care.

• Truly Effective Shockwave Therapy
  While many clinics may offer shockwave, few deliver it with the precision, skill, and clinical insight that make it truly transformative. Dr. Monaco not only practices this at the highest level, he teaches others how to do it right.

• Hands-On Mentorship at the Forefront:
  Through real-time instruction in ultrasound-guided injections and integrated laser therapies, he empowered fellow clinicians to elevate their practice and outcomes.

• Healing and Innovation:
  Dr. Monaco’s leadership is not just about technique, it’s about vision. He brings together imaging, biologics, and rehabilitation in a way that reflects a commitment to whole-person healing and long-term functional recovery.

• Paving the Way for the Future of Medicine:
  As regenerative medicine moves forward, Dr. Monaco is one of the rare few who combine technical excellence with compassion, and innovation with mentorship. He is not just keeping up with the future, he’s helping build it.
