PHYSIO SHOCKMASTER (Sakai Medical Co. Ltd.) and MASTERPULS MP100 ultra (Storz Medical AG) were loaned to us as demonstration units for the duration of one week each. We used them to treat 6 patients to assess their efficacy. These shockwave generators were effective for the treatment of enthesitis. The treatment was effective for breaking the calcific deposits, although they were less effective for improving the pain caused by calcific rotator cuff tendinitis. These devices require the handpiece to be held in position during the therapy.
