Tendonitis is an acutely inflamed/swollen tendon, while tendinosis, on the other hand, is a chronically damaged tendon with necrotic tissue. Common tendon injuries include: Achilles tendonitis/osis, Plantar fasciitis/osis, Long Head of Biceps tendonitis/osis. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that involves creating a series of low energy acoustic wave pulsations that are applied to the tendon. It is designed to create breakdown and inflammation in the tendon to stimulate new blood vessel formation. ESWT in conjunction with active rehabilitation & Class IV Laser has proven to be an effective treatment for tendon injury.
