A member asked:
Can you explain shockwave therapy for calcified shoulder tendonitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ESWT : In our office we have used eswt-extracorporeal shockwave therapy for 12 years on the plantar fascia and achilles tendon with excellent results. For these areas the shock or "pressure" waves break up the chronic inflammatory scar tissue on a microscopic level and jump start the healing process.
