Radial shock wave therapy is an effective, safe and non-invasive method. For this reason, it can be used as an alternative to more invasive treatments such as cortisone injections, orthopedic surgery or pain medications, which are associated with potentially severe side effects. RSWT is superior to corticosteroid injections and home training [12].

Radial Shock Wave Therapy (RSWT^® ) :

• provided significantly better results than both corticosteroid injections and home training at 4 months from baseline.[12]
• allowed for the quickest return to physical activities. [12]
• was associated with the best scores overall in terms of perceived pain after 15 months.[12]
