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