IF THIS THAN THAT......if your ankle is stiff from surgery, old fracture or sprain etc, your leg will have to turn to the side so that you can clear your foot when walking. Look at your feet, do you have a previously injured ankle that is making your leg turn out to the side? It is a good plan but it comes at a cost. Check out the comments..

TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR HEALTH. READ THIS AND DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.

CONDITIONS WHERE SHOCKWAVE THERAPY HAS OUTCOMES COMPARABLE TO SURGERY (Based on Research)

Surgery absolutely has a role — but it’s not always the most effective next step for chronic tendon pain.

For several well-studied musculoskeletal conditions, randomized trials and systematic reviews show that focused shockwave therapy can produce outcomes as good as — and sometimes better than — surgery, with fewer risks and far less downtime.
Examples with strong scientific support:

🔹 Chronic plantar fasciitis (fasciosis)
Randomized controlled trials and long-term follow-ups (e.g., Gerdesmeyer et al., 2008; Rompe et al.) show shockwave achieves pain and function outcomes comparable to plantar fascia release — without cutting or weakening the foot.
🔹 Calcific rotator cuff tendinopathy
Multiple RCTs and meta-analyses (e.g., Hsu et al.; Verstraelen et al.) demonstrate shockwave produces similar improvements in pain, function, and calcium resorption compared to arthroscopic removal in properly selected patients.
🔹 Chronic Achilles tendinopathy
Studies comparing surgery vs. shockwave plus loading (e.g., Rompe et al., 2007) show comparable long-term outcomes, with lower complication rates and faster return to activity.
🔹 Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
Systematic reviews (Cochrane-style analyses) show surgery offers no clear long-term advantage over shockwave or structured conservative care for chronic cases.
🔹 Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (gluteal tendinopathy)
Randomized trials (e.g., Rompe et al., 2009) demonstrate shockwave produces superior long-term outcomes compared to injections — avoiding surgical risk altogether.
