Shockwave + EMTT

4.9★ (175+) Shockwave vs cortisone for tendon pain in Boulder, CO: relief or repair? By Dr. Aneesh Garg, DO, ASTI Founder, The Regen Doc. Book a consult.

Most people need a course, not a single visit. A typical focused electromagnetic shockwave (ESWT) treatment course is a series of weekly sessions, most commonly three to six, with the exact number set by the condition, how chronic it is, the dose, and how the tissue responds.

For tendon pain, a cortisone injection and focused shockwave do opposite jobs. Cortisone is a corticosteroid, a powerful anti-inflammatory that can quiet a flare fast, but it does not rebuild the tendon, and repeated shots are linked in the literature to tendon weakening.

Yes, for the chronic patellar tendon that has failed loading and rehab, focused shockwave is a well-supported option. A review by van Leeuwen and a systematic review by Mani-Babu report positive results for patellar tendinopathy, used alongside exercise.

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a degenerative tendinosis of the common extensor tendon at the outside of the elbow, not simple inflammation. That is why rest and cortisone often quiet the pain without repairing the tendon.
