Calcific tendinitis can significantly affect your quality of life through permanent pain. First of all, conservative treatments such as medication, shock wave therapy, a change of diet, and specific exercises or sports activities such as swimming can help you. However, if these are no longer sufficient to reduce your pain to a bearable level, surgery is a sensible treatment for your calcific tendinitis. Our shoulder specialists in Hamburg will advise you intensively during a special consultation about the best treatment for you. Our experts perform the surgery to treat your calcific tendinitis as arthroscopically as possible, i.e. using a gentle keyhole technique. Here only small skin incisions are necessary, which enable a quicker recovery for you and a better cosmetic result.
