Extracorporeal shockwave therapy has been shown to be effective in the treatment of chronic tendon pathology in the elbow, shoulder, Achilles tendinopathy and plantar fascia.

Osteoarthrosis is a widespread disease affecting 10% of the world’s population. According to various authors, frequency of this pathology ranges from 30 to 55% among all orthopedic patients who visit the doctor.

Establishing a medical rehabilitation protocol completely efficient and safe, concerning the patients with degenerative and inflammatory pathology of the shoulder with tendinous lesions idiopathic calcific disease.

The treatment for this condition is very diverse and complex. Nevertheless, the recurrences are quite frequent, a large number of patients being unresponsive even after 3 months of treatment.

Radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy is an effective treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis that can be administered to outpatients without anesthesia but has not yet been evaluated in controlled trials.

Chronic proximal hamstring tendinopathy is an overuse syndrome that is usually managed by nonoperative methods. Shockwave therapy has proved to be effective in many tendinopathies.

Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is a pain syndrome along the tibial origin of the tibialis posterior or soleus muscle. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (SWT) is effective in numerous types of insertional pain syndromes.

Lumbar facet joints (FJ) is a common source of low back pain and contributes approximmately on one third of chronic low back pain. 

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome is often a manifestation of underlying gluteal tendinopathy. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is effective in numerous types of tendinopathies.

Chronic Achilles tendinopathy has been described as the most common overuse injury in sports medicine.

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a noninvasive treatment for chronic tendinopathies, however little is known about the in-vivo biological mechanisms of ESWT.

These studies were conducted to investigate the biological mechanism of musculoskeletal shockwaves.

ESWT is a non-invasive, safe and effective treatment for recalcitrant plantar fasciitis.

The use of shockwave therapy in this series of patellar tendinopathy patients with previous total knee artrhroplasty is favorable.

This paper tries to optimize the existent classical treatments for patellar tendinopathies that are resistant to classical forms of therapy, in professional athletes.

Patients with elbow tendinopathies treated with RSWT+HIL had a 71% decrease of pain on VAS at five-month follow-up.

Combination of RSWT and LLLT improves therapy results and reduces treatment time considerably for supraspinatus tendinopathies.
