Chronic shoulder tendonitis refers to degenerative tissue in one of the tendons at the top of the upper arm bone (humerus). Sometimes the tendon causes pain; in other cases calcification restricts movement in the shoulder.
The effects of ESWT are best documented in areas of changes in tissue density, such as those where a tendon attaches to a bone (enthesiopathies) and where a bone attaches to a ligament (desmopathies). For this reason, it is very effective for painful connective tissue in the shoulder.
Additionally, ESWT gives new hope by relieving pain, eliminating the risk factors associated with surgery and allowing people to resume their normal lives.
After Shock Wave Therapy in February, I took my time in healing. In late April I began to run again. I competed it my first 5K in June with a time of 30 minutes and my first Triathlon in July. Clearly I was able to resume all activities. I am a believer.
