Extracorporal shock wave application to insertion tendinosis with chronic complaints can induce intense and long-lasting analgesia. This special effect can be used for pain therapy. Epicondylitis humeri, tendinosis calcarea or chronic Irritations at the achilles tendon are frequent indications. For good results definite pain localisation and the patient's cooperation are decisive. Treatment is performed at separate sessions of 1500-2000 shock waves on an ambulant basis. In most of the cases 1-2 subsequent treatment sessions at intervals of up to 14 days are necessary. To date, there are no complications or relevant side effects. Following the extracorporal shock wave treatment (ESWT) 65-85% of patients are free of complaints or substantially improved.
