7Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy, also known as ESWT is a new treatment option for tendonitis and other muscle issues. This method makes use of sound waves to relax muscle groups in the affected areas around your tendons. It is often recommended in those people who have failed other treatments and home remedies for more than 6 to 12 months. You should consider ESWT before moving to surgical options. Though this method is less invasive than undergoing surgery, it is also less effective. Keep in mind that there will be some possible side effects such as numbness, pain, swelling, and bruising.
