Shoulder calcification is a common disorder of the rotator cuff and is characterised by deposits of hydroxyapatite (a crystalline calcium phosphate) in the tendons of the rotator cuff (shoulder), causing pain and inflammation. Typically, it affects more women than men with the peak incidence being between 50 and 60 years of age.

The pain of shoulder calcification is felt over the deltoid muscle area around the shoulder and may spread down the arm towards the elbow or wrist. The pain can be made worse by lying on the affected side or by trying to elevate the arm.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) for calcific tendonitis was first used in Germany and Austria in 1992 and since then Shockwave therapy of calcific tendinopathy has been proven to be a clinically effective non-invasive treatment option.
