What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy or Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a device that sends a high intensity sound wave into the body.

If Shockwave Therapy worked on kidney stones, then maybe it could work on shoulder calcific tendonitis. Positive effects of healing were noticed with complete resolution of calcium with normal x-rays. Prior to Shockwave Therapy there were not many good treatments for shoulder calcium deposits.
