RSWT seems to be an appropriate treatment for chronic insertional Achilles tendinopathy, superior to eccentric loading in terms of efficacy. Evidence prompts it to be a reliable alternative to surgical treatment.

Plantar fascia-specific stretching exercises in combination with repetitive radial shock wave treatment (RSWT®) are superior to RSWT® as monotherapy.

RSWT® combined with physical therapy enables better and faster pain reduction, grip strength increase, functional improvement and tendon tear healing, than physical therapy alone.
