Shockwave Therapy: Treating Injuries One Calcium Deposit at a Time

"Doctors could be looking at shockwave therapy, officially called extracorporeal shockwave therapy, as a viable non-invasive alternative treatment for shoulder pain. Analysis of 28 studies by experts at Tufts Medical Center in Boston showed that the treatment was effective in remedying rotator cuff injuries, a common cause of shoulder pain. Yet in an interview with CBS Boston, Dr. Raveendhara Bannuru said shockwave therapy for shoulder pain seems to be more effective for treating calcified rotator cuffs."

Dangerous Combination: Sports and Spinal Injuries

Athletes fear back pain as much as kids fear the dentist. It may not be because of the pain, but due to the fear that they may never play again.

Over the course of sports history, great athletes have fallen prey to sprains and fractures. Many recovered and returned to play another day, but a handful weren't as lucky. Spinal injuries are among the most dangerous since the spine serves as the link between the brain and every part of the body. Here are some athletes who suffered serious spinal injuries:

Sound, M.D.: How Shockwave Therapy Works

Did you know that sonar is harmful to marine life? Imagine getting hit by a wall of sound waves almost twice as loud as the loudest rock concert in history.

Yet, had it not been for the effects of sonar on fish, studies on sound therapy, focusing on high intensity ultrasound, may not have kicked off. Sonar technology evolved during World War II due to the threat of German U-boats prowling the Atlantic, preventing merchant ships from supporting the Allied war effort. Comprehensive medical research on sound waves began around the mid-1940s.
