A method of treating pathological conditions associated with bone and soft tissue adjacent to musculoskeletal environments and soft tissues and osteoporotic sites and of enhancing bone formation and remodeling in a stress fracture, involves applying acoustic shock waves to cause localized trauma, including micro-disruptions, non-osseous tissue stimulation, injury and increased vascularization, and circulation and induction of growth factors to induce or accelerate the body's natural healing processes and responses thereby inducing or accelerating healing.
