Your patient
said Shockwave
made sense. Then
they walked out.
What happened?
See the 90 seconds most practices miss. It is the moment a sound care plan turns into “let me think about it.”
A familiar visit
Good clinical fit- The patient wants help
- Shockwave makes sense
- The next step stalls
What went wrong in the gap—and why does more talk often make it worse?

The Question Behind the Whole Night
What if “price” is just where
the problem shows up?
The right patient can want relief, trust you, and still freeze. Dr. Pelto will show you the part of the visit that most clinics never look at.
Why can a clear answer still leave a patient unsure?
When does good patient teaching start to work against you?
What changes after you leave the room?
By Wednesday Night
You will know where your Shockwave talk may break down—and what to test next week.
Worth Your Wednesday Night
One hour should
change what happens
on Thursday.
This is not a talk you watch and forget. Bring one real case. Build one simple tool. Leave with one test you can use.
