The use of shockwaves in the treatment of patients who have shoulder joint rigor gives us a good positive compared to the use of traditional treatment methods, according to a study supervised by hospitals and clinics in sharjah.

In medical center in sharjah, we have been thinking about using a new technique that has not been used previously to treat this disease as a substitute to traditional treatments, which is called shockwaves. They stimulate and activate the blood circulation, helping white blood cells get rid of the crystals that cause the calcification of tendons.

The impact of the shockwaves by fragmentation as in the treatment of calcification of the shoulder or by stimulating the tissues for growth and healing, as happens in the treatment of delayed and non-healing fractures.

shockwaves have also been used successfully for several years in the treatment of kidney stones, bile ducts and the stones of salivary glands, with a global trend for use in the treatment of diseases of the motor system such as inflammation of the heel and calcification of the lining of the foot and external inflammation of the elbow joint. It has also been used in the treatment of delayed bone fracture healing.

The shockwaves are generated in a number of ways based on the conversion of electrical energy to kinetic energy and concentration then directed to the injured place without the need for surgical intervention, and is characterized by this method of safety compared to the complications of surgical intervention.

shockwaves included patients with calcification of shoulder tendons, which occurs as a result of deposition of calcium salts in the muscles of the shoulder, for reasons including diabetes, which is a complication of diabetes and it results in severe pain and chronic shoulder joint, and it spreads in the surrounding area until it reaches the neck, as a result of muscle stress, and increased loads on them.

Doctors say that kidney stones are the most common cause of pain a number of medical complications of the patient. Therefore, the process of fragmentation is used to get rid of the large stones that are difficult to pass sometimes attached to the wall of the ureter when the fragmentation becomes smaller but there are a number of cases that prevent the use of shockwaves.

The study included 140 patients over the age of 40. It is showed an improvement in shockwaves and 80% disappearance of pain after two sessions of treatment.

The study also showed that there is no need for surgical intervention by the binoculars to treat the shoulder joint, which was used several times during undergoing traditional treatments. Also, patients no longer need to use painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs that adversely affect the digestive system, liver and kidneys. Based on the progress achieved by the study, the results of the study have attracted the research team.

Shockwaves can be used in the treatment of osteoarthritis in the elbow joint. This is called the tennis elbow. As well as calcification of the lining of the foot, where the preliminary results indicate a marked improvement of these cases, which was useful only with surgical intervention.
