    The patients had an established diagnosis of chronic mid-portion tendinopathy of the Achilles tendon for at least 6 months before treatment and a history of unsuccessful nonoperative management that involved: peritendinous local injections, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and physiotherapy. 

    Two carefully selected groups:

    • Eccentric loading group (N=34) – control group involved patients with an established diagnosis of mid-portion tendinopathy of the Achilles tendon who underwent eccentric training. Patients performed 3 sets of 15 repetitions with 1 minute of rest between the sets twice a day 7 days per week for 12 weeks.
    • Eccentric loading with repetitive low-energy shock-wave therapy (SWT) group (N=34). Patients
      with an established diagnosis of mid-portion tendinopathy of the Achilles tendon underwent an identical eccentric training regimen and, after 4 weeks, SWT.  

    Repetitive low-energy shock-wave the­rapy consisted of 3 sessions at weekly intervals. DolorClast® Radial Shock Waves device (Electro Medical Systems, Nyon, Switzerland) was used for shock wave treatment. (2000 impulses with a pressure of 3 bar (equals an energy flux density of 0.1 mJ/mm2)) – 8 pulses per second. Following the principle of clinical focusing, the authors have treated the area of maximal tenderness, beginning at the point of ma­ximum pain level. No local anesthesia was applied.

    Outcomes and Results

    The VISA-A questionnaire was used to evaluate clinical severity, 6-point Likert scale was used for general assessment, the 11-point numerical rating scale was used for pain assessment. In order to allow time for collagen turnover and remodeling, observer-blinded outcome assessments were performed 16 weeks after baseline assessment. An increase in VISA-A Score has been demonstrated in both groups, from 50 to 73 points in group 1 (eccentric loa­ding) and from 51 to 87 points in group 2 (eccentric loading with shock-wave treatment). A Likert scale of 1 (defined as complete recovery) or 2 points (defined as “much improved’’) was reported in 56 % of patients in group 1 and as much as 82 % of patients in group 2. A pain rating decrease has been demonstrated in both groups, from 7 to 4 points in group 1 and from 7 to 2 points in group 2.

    Side effects & Conclusion

    The authors reported a zero occurrence of serious complications. All patients who underwent SWT experienced transient reddening of the skin after low-energy SWT but no bruising. There were no device-related complications. Although patients reported an ache in the calf due to eccentric loading, there was no interruption of the eccentric loading training regimen. Throughout the study period, there was no incidence of Achilles tendon rupture. “Eccentric loading alone was significantly less effective when compared with a combination of eccentric loading and repetitive low-energy shock-wave treatment. Combined treatment allows to substantially alleviate pain.”

    This study has conclusively proven that combined treatment of eccentric loading and repetitive low-energy shock-wave treatment allows to significantly reduce pain and improve function. Shock wave therapy constitutes a highly valuable addition to eccentric loading as it stimulates soft tissue healing and inhibition of pain receptors. Patients wishing for quick and effective relief of chronic symptoms together with a return to full activity should opt for the combined treatment.
