Calcific tendinopathy denotes calcific deposits in a specific tendon. It is also known as calcifying tendinitis, calcifying periarticulitis, or periarticular apatite deposition disease. Recently, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has been reported to be effective in relieving and treating pain in calcific tendinopathy.
