Shock Wave

 

Better than surgical results? Science says yes:

“In patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative treatment options and are presented with surgery as the next choice, ESWT may be a reasonable alternative treatment option that could produce results comparable or superior to those with surgical treatment.”
