When calcifications are formed, a physiotherapeutic treatment that involves Shock Wave therapy may be the best option, since the technological device used creates high-frequency waves that, when focused on the areas affected by the calcifications, cause the destruction of the same without affect or injure the skin or surrounding soft tissues. So that you can recover more quickly, FisioClinics Palma offers you Shock Wave therapy for calcifications.
What are Calcifications?
Its name already reflects a little its relationship with calcium, since they do have a great relationship since calcifications are calcium deposits that accumulate in tissues of the musculoskeletal system such as tendons (Achilles tendon or supraspinatus, they are most affected) and the joints of the hip, knee, foot, toes. Its formation is related to several factors: mechanical, degenerative, vascular and biochemical, to name a few.
The "normal" thing is that the calcifications are dissolved and reabsorbed by the body itself, however, these processes can sometimes be slowed down, leading to the accumulation of calcium and, therefore, the formation of calcifications. In these cases, FisioClinics Palma offers you an excellent treatment in the hands of expert physiotherapists in Shock Wave therapy.
