“There is evidence for the benefit of F-ESWT and of RPT in a number of softtissue musculoskeletal conditions, and evidence that both treatment modalities are safe”

BUT FEW THINGS ARE ONLY BLACK OR WHITE

• Modality-dependent

• Diagnose-dependent

• Dose-dependent

The effect seems to be:

A case story

• 38 year old male referred to our ESWT study • X-ray verified large calcification situated in

supraspinatus• Unable to work and did not want to risk receiving

placebo-treatment • No severe pain, but unable to abduct the shoulder

above 80 degree

A case story

Initial treatment3 sessions of high-ESWT

(1500 impulses of 0.4 mJ/mm

No ROM incresement- 2 treatments more are given ...

ROM increased to 140 degree- no treatment given for 4 weeks

Free painfree ROM - 1 treatment/week for 3 weeks- 1 treatment/14 days for 4 weeks- Control at 12 weeks

TAKE HOME MESSAGE

TAKE HOME MESSAGEThere are two forms of shockwave and they are DIFFERENT modalities and should be evaluated separately.

There is strong evidence that F-ESWT is effective in the treatment of plantar fasciitis and calcific tendinitis, and that low-RPT is effective in plantar fasciitis.

Where benefit is seen in F-ESWT, it appears to be dose dependent, with greater success seen with higher dose regimes.

Both modalities are promissing and safe to use - even at High intensities

There are two forms of shockwave and they are DIFFERENT modalities and should be evaluated separately.

It hurts - but it works !
