Abstract:
Chronic overuse disease of the shoulder is very common in clinical practice.Its pathogenesis is complicated and its treatment is often a combination of medication,rehabilitation and surgery.In recent years,its diagnosis tends to be more definite,leading to more specific treatment.Extracorporeal shock wave therapy has been successfully used in the treatment of such orthopaedic diseases as plantar fasciitis and lateral epicondylitis,and has been tried by some scholars in the treatment of chronic overuse disease of the shoulder.Its therapeutic effect has also been demonstrated to some extent on calcific tendonitis,non-calcific tendonitis and adhesive capsulitis.This review outlines the progress in research of extracorporeal shock wave therapy for the treatment of chronic overuse disease of the shoulder.
