Calcified Periarthritis (Calcific Tendinitis) is the deposition of calcium salts in the tendons of the shoulder, such as the supraspinatus tendon.
A comprehensive therapeutic approach is essential for effective treatment:
- Rehabilitation (Physiotherapy): A tailored rehabilitation program to improve function and mobility.
- Shockwave Therapy: Use of shock waves to fragment the calcium deposits, aiding in their reduction.
- Range of Motion (ROM) Retention: Ensuring and maintaining the shoulder's full range of motion.
- Intra-articular Injections: Administered where applicable to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
- Strengthening the Shoulder Muscles: Focus on increasing muscle strength to stabilize the shoulder joint.
This multi-faceted approach ensures the best possible therapeutic outcomes for patients suffering from calcified periarthritis.
