"Is Shockwave Therapy the Key to Accelerating Your Tendon Recovery Journey?"
Tendon injury is prevalent and costly in the United States, comprising 45% of the 66 million musculoskeletal injuries and costing $114 billion annually.
Tendinopathy can be more specifically referred to as tendinosis based on degeneration and disorientation of collagen fibers, absence of inflammatory cells, and poor healing
This should not be confused with the term “tendinitis”, or inflammation of the tendon, which occurs from abrupt trauma
If repetitive strain continues, the normal healing event is hindered and results in chronic tendinosis
Should I get surgery or use shockwave therapy?
Invasive methods can cause joint defects from damage to the surrounding tissue, which can decrease joint stability and increase unwanted formation of adhesions at the repaired site. They also carry an increased risk of infection
Shockwave therapy is a non invasive treatment option , where 3 - 5 sessions have been shows to help with muscle and tissue repair.
