How successful is shockwave therapy for tendonitis?

Understanding Tendonitis and Shockwave Therapy

Overview of Tendonitis

So, what’s tendonitis all about? It’s when your tendons decide they’ve had enough of your non-stop action and start acting up with aches and irritation. Sheesh, talk about drama!

With all that nagging pain and pesky swelling, your regular day can quickly turn into a game of ‘Don’t Move That Joint.’ It’s like your body’s little protest against all that action. The usual advice involves taking it easy, some physiotherapy magic, and popping a pill or two, but sometimes those stubborn tendons need a tougher approach.
