Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that involves the delivery of shock waves (sound, not electric) to injured soft tissue to reduce pain and promote healing.  ESWT is a viable option to consider for many patients who present with chronic tendinopathies that haven’t responded to more-conservative treatments. Often difficult to treat, chronic tendinopathy is characterized by localized pain and pathological changes to a tendon. The condition affects athletes and nonathletes alike.

The Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of ESWT for the treatment of plantar fasciitis. However, multiple high-quality randomized clinical trials have provided substantial evidence that ESWT is a safe and effective noninvasive option for treating tendinopathy throughout the musculoskeletal system. At OB Men, we treat a number of tendinopathies including, but now limited to: Rotator cuff injury, patellar tendonitis, tennis elbow, and Achilles tendonitis.  At OB Men, we often combine ESWT with peptide therapy.

About the Author: Darryl S. Camp, M.D.

Dr. Camp is an accomplished Board-Certified Neurologist. He helped establish a new neurology residency in Austin Texas where he served as Program Director. He has been involved in numerous NIH funded and industry-sponsored trials. One of which would serve as a basis in his interest in regenerative medicine. Dr. Camp was a Principle Investigator in a trial whereby stem-cell precursors were injected in the carotid artery of stroke patients in an effort to re-grow blood vessels and tissue in the damaged brain. In the rat trials, rats regenerated brain tissue and recovered compared to the untreated rats. Fast forward to OB Men where Dr. Camp employs the use of Stem-Cells, Platelet Rich Plasma, and other techniques to regenerate human tissue. Whether it is to grow new blood vessels or nerves in the case of erectile dysfunction, or to correct scars and tighten skin through collagen regeneration, or to regenerate joints or tendons that have been injured, you can be assured that OB Men is on the cutting edge of regenerative medicine.
