Calcific tendinopathy is a painful condition where calcium deposits accumulate in the tendons, most commonly in the rotator cuff of the shoulder. These deposits can irritate the surrounding soft tissue, restrict mobility, and trigger significant inflammation and pain.

The condition often affects:

• Adults aged 30–50
• Athletes and manual laborers
• Individuals with metabolic or postural disorders

Symptoms include pain during arm elevation, night discomfort, and reduced shoulder function.

The reGener8 ZS1019 delivers Focused ShockWave™ Therapy, which is the gold standard for breaking down calcific deposits deep within soft tissue.

Focused Energy Penetration:

• Targets precisely at 6–8 cm depth, ideal for subacromial calcium buildup
• High-energy density breaks down calcium deposits and stimulates cellular repair
• Triggers neovascularization and enhances tendon regeneration
• Reduces inflammation by altering pain signal transmission (gate control theory)

Why Focused is Superior for This Case:

• Radial therapy is too superficial for deep calcific zones
• Focused therapy applies direct, high-intensity acoustic energy exactly where it’s needed
• Clinically proven to reduce or eliminate deposits over a few sessions

Device Advantages:

• Up to 6 Bar pressure and 21 Hz frequency
• Focused probe technology with >8 cm tissue penetration
• Allows pinpoint targeting of rotator cuff, gluteal tendon, or patellar insertion calcifications

This therapy accelerates resorption of calcium while simultaneously restoring tendon health and shoulder function—often avoiding the need for surgery.

• Mode: Focused ShockWave™ Therapy
• Energy: 5–6 Bar
• Frequency: 8–10 Hz
• Shocks per session: 2000–2500
• Sessions: 3–5
• Interval between sessions: Every 5–7 days

Focused treatment should be applied directly to the area of calcification identified via palpation or imaging. Patient may feel discomfort, but that signals effective energy delivery. Results are typically observed within 2–4 weeks.
