Abstract

Achilles tendinopathy has been an extremely common problem especially among active people and athletes. A multitude of previous and latest treatments have been studied and applied in clinical treatments, including the ESWT (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy). While there is still a lack of systematic summary or review of the efficacy of ESWT. Therefore, this research will use a systematic review approach to review the existing effective non-surgical treatments for Achilles tendinopathy, with a focus on shock wave therapy. And the analysis and summary, in conclusion, suggest that ESWT has an excellent therapeutic effect on Achilles tendon diseases. At the same time, it can be widely used in medical practice as a non-invasive treatment alone or in combination with other therapies.
