Shoulder Calcific Tendinitis: NewPIMS Treatment, Calcium Crushing and Aspiration


Hello. I'm Dr. Dongkyu Lee, an orthopedic specialist. Today, I'll show you another calcific tendinitis case. A 44-year-old female patient who traveled from Chungcheongnam-do province. She had been suffering from shoulder pain for nearly a year. After being told she had calcific tendinitis, she received multiple injections and shockwave treatments at a local clinic. However, symptoms didn't improve — they would briefly improve after injections only to return with more pain. The local clinic recommended surgery, but she couldn't take time off from work to undergo surgery.

The patient said the pain disappeared immediately after the procedure and was very happy. She was also satisfied to see the calcium gone on X-ray. Calcific tendinitis is a very painful condition. Some patients experience pain severe enough to require emergency room visits. Removing the calcium is the fastest treatment for calcific tendinitis. Some people undergo surgery for this. But calcific tendinitis can be treated without surgery. NewPIMS treatment, through calcium crushing and aspiration, is an outstanding non-surgical treatment for calcific tendinitis. Stop suffering from calcific tendinitis, stop getting surgery — choose non-surgical NewPIMS treatment to free yourself from calcific tendinitis.
