Overview
Focal shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused, high-energy sound waves to target and treat specific areas of the body. This therapy is commonly used for conditions involving chronic pain and inflammation, such as tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and calcific deposits in tendons. The focused shockwaves stimulate healing, reduce pain, and improve mobility by enhancing blood flow and breaking down calcium deposits.
Symptoms
Focal shockwave therapy is particularly effective in treating chronic musculoskeletal pain, stiffness, and inflammation. Conditions like shoulder calcific tendonitis, tennis elbow, and plantar fasciitis often benefit from this treatment, which can significantly reduce pain and improve function.

Diagnosis & Treatment
Before starting focal shockwave therapy, a thorough diagnosis is necessary, often involving imaging tests like X-rays or ultrasound to identify the specific problem area. During treatment, the shockwaves are precisely directed to the affected tissue. The therapy is typically administered in a series of sessions, each lasting around 20-30 minutes. It is generally well-tolerated and does not require anesthesia.

Overview
Fibromatosis is a rare condition characterized by the growth of benign (non-cancerous) tumors in the connective tissue, most commonly affecting the fascia, ligaments, and tendons. These tumors, known as fibromas, can occur anywhere in the body but are often found in the limbs, abdomen, and chest.
Diagnosis & Treatment Options
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, imaging tests like MRI or ultrasound, and sometimes a biopsy to confirm the nature of the growth. Treatment options depend on the size, location, and aggressiveness of the fibroma. These may include watchful waiting, surgery to remove the tumor, radiation therapy, or medications like anti-inflammatory drugs or hormonal therapy to manage symptoms or slow growth.
Symptoms
The symptoms of fibromatosis vary depending on the location of the tumors. Common signs include a noticeable lump or mass, pain, and restricted movement if the growth affects joints or muscles. The condition can also lead to discomfort and swelling in the affected area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Fibromatosis Cancerous?:
- No, fibromatosis is a benign condition, but it can be locally aggressive.
Can it Recur?:
- Yes, fibromatosis has a high recurrence rate, even after surgical removal.
How Is Fibromatosis Different From Cancer?:
- Unlike cancer, fibromatosis does not metastasize (spread) to other parts of the body, but it can still cause significant local damage.
