Calcific Tendonitis Treatment in London
Manage shoulder pain and restricted movement caused by calcific deposits with tailored care at our London clinic. We offer non-surgical options to help reduce symptoms and restore shoulder mobility.
What Is Calcific Tendinitis of the Supraspinatus?
Calcific tendinitis of the supraspinatus is a painful shoulder condition caused by the accumulation of calcium in the rotator cuff tendon, leading to pain and stiffness, especially during shoulder abduction or internal rotation of the shoulder. The calcific stage is typically when the pain intensifies. This condition can mimic or even lead to shoulder impingement and frozen shoulder and rotator cuff symptoms.
A common cause of shoulder pain, this condition is characterized by pain, swelling, and a decreased range of motion. Our approach includes precise diagnosis and treatment, focusing on avoiding unnecessary surgical treatment through advanced, non-invasive techniques.
What Can Calcific Tendonitis Treatment Address?
We provide an effective treatment for various shoulder complications, including:
- Chronic calcific deposits in the supraspinatus
- Calcification treatment for inflammation and irritation in the shoulder joint
- Conservative treatment alternatives for acute calcific tendinitis
- Recovery support for shoulder pain with decreased range of motion
- Operative treatment only when absolutely necessary, such as in cases of failed shockwave treatment or large deposits
Each treatment plan is developed based on a thorough physical examination and tailored to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and restore shoulder function.
How Our Ultrasound-Guided Calcification Treatment Works
We specialise in ultrasound-guided barbotage, an advanced method of treatment for calcific tendinitis, avoiding the trauma of shoulder surgery. This procedure is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate pain who need quick recovery with minimal intervention.
â
In some cases, we may recommend extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) or extracorporeal shockwave therapy as part of your appropriate treatment plan, especially when a needle is placed near dense deposits and needs support in breaking them down.
â
Whether you suffer from acute pain or chronic symptoms, our techniques are proven to reduce the pain and inflammation while restoring mobility.
