A method of treating an infected implant by administering acoustic shock waves to an implant area or region encompassing an implantation, includes the steps of activating acoustic shock waves of an acoustic shock wave generator to emit acoustic shock waves and subjecting the implant area to acoustic shock waves stimulating the implant area or region. The emitted acoustic shock waves are focused or unfocused acoustic shock waves, or acoustic pressure waves, generated electrohydraulically, electromagnetically, radially, or via a piezo electric generating system. |
