Acoustic pulses that stimulate healing in stubborn tendons, with good evidence for some conditions and weak for others.
The Mechanism
Focused or radial pressure waves trigger micro-trauma and new blood vessel growth in chronic tendon tissue that has stopped healing on its own.
Best-Supported Uses
Plantar fasciitis, calcific shoulder tendinitis and Achilles or patellar tendinopathy show the strongest results, typically 3–5 weekly sessions.
Realistic Expectations
Improvement builds over 6–12 weeks. It is one part of a loading and rehab plan, not a replacement for it.
