Condition

Calcific Tendinopathy

Build-up of calcium deposits in a tendon — most often in the rotator cuff of the shoulder — causing severe pain and restricted movement.

Calcific Tendinopathy

Symptoms

  • Sharp shoulder pain that limits arm movement
  • Pain that wakes you at night when lying on the affected side
  • Stiffness and reduced range of motion
  • Visible calcium deposit on imaging (X-ray / ultrasound)

How reGener8 treats it

Focused ShockWave™

Focused ShockWave™

High-energy waves are concentrated precisely on the calcium deposit, fragmenting it so the body can reabsorb the particles. Penetration up to 8 cm targets deep rotator cuff tendons.

Suggested starting protocol
Shoulder
18 Hz · 6 Bar · 2,000–2,500 shocks
4–6 sessions, every 4–6 days

Starting point — therapist adjusts to the patient.

Expected results

  • Significant breakdown of calcium deposits
  • Restored shoulder mobility within 4–6 sessions
  • Avoids surgical removal in many cases
