Shock Wave Therapy for tendon pain is transforming rehabilitation, offering non-invasive relief with remarkable success rates in treating injuries.

One of the challenges we face as rehabilitation specialists is to discover and utilize procedures that offer the patient the most treatment potential with the least damage to their quality of life. In cases that affect tendons, ligaments, bursas, we are finding Shock Wave Therapy to be one of our best resources. Immediate improvement is reported with minimal side effects. We are resolving shoulder and Achilles tendon calcifications without invasive surgery involving long and difficult recovery periods.

Our results are in line with those reported in the international medical journals. We are at a 91% success rate in calcified tendinitis, a 77% rate in pain from tennis elbow injuries, and a 90% level in resolving plantar fasciitis problems. Other similar positive results are being noted in pathologies involving tendons, bursas and shoulder disorders.
