Citation Klappenbach R, García Martí S, Pichon-Riviere A, Augustovski F, Alcaraz A, Bardach A, Ciapponi A, López A, Rey-Ares L. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy in musculoskeletal disorders. Buenos Aires: Institute for Clinical Effectiveness and Health Policy (IECS). Informe de Respuesta Rapida No. 495. 2016 Authors' conclusions Extracorporeal shock waves have not proved to be useful to treat most of the musculoskeletal disorders assessed. Evidence of low quality suggests that extracorporeal shock waves might be an alternative to treat calcific tendinitis of the shoulder and recalcitrant plantar fasciitis refractory to initial medical management. There are many types and forms for shock wave administration used in the different studies.
The clinical practice guidelines are heterogeneous on the use of this technology and most coverage policies surveyed do not cover its use to treat musculoskeletal disorders.
