Is shockwave therapy physiotherapy effective for shoulder pain?

Yes. Calcific shoulder tendinitis — where calcium deposits build up in the rotator cuff tendons — is a condition that responds particularly well to shockwave therapy physiotherapy. The acoustic waves help to break down the calcific deposits, reduce inflammation, and restore normal range of motion in the shoulder joint. At Advantage Physiotherapy, shockwave therapy for shoulder conditions is delivered alongside mobility work and manual therapy as part of a holistic treatment plan.
