FTCA Podcast #112 - Dr. Andrew Bruns - Shockwave Deep Dive

About this episode

Dr. Andrew Bruns discusses shockwave therapy and the growth of Portland Health Supply.

Dr Andrew Bruns of Portland Health Supply outlines the company’s growth from a chiropractor’s garage startup to an FDA‑compliant device supplier and explains shockwave therapy—how radial and focused waves differ, strong evidence for tendinopathies, and the multimodal mechanisms behind pain relief and tissue remodelling. He offers practical guidance on dosing, hands‑on technique, safety, training, device selection and business integration as a cash service, plus tips on maintenance and minimizing clinic downtime. The interview also covers legal/trademark lessons, sponsorship of the FTCA and how to contact Portland Health Supply for advice and support.
