Calcifications
Calcifications and calcified tendonitis
Calcification happens when calcium builds up in body tissue, blood vessels, or organs. This buildup can harden and disrupt your body’s normal processes. Calcium is transported through the bloodstream. It’s also found in every cell. As a result, calcification can occur in almost any part of the body.
Our iontophoresis protocol for calcified tendonitis
It is common to try iontophoresis treatments with acetic acid and ultrasound to decrease calcifications in cases of calcified tendonitis. It is indeed a treatment that has been shown to be effective in the scientific literature. On the other hand, the protocols currently used in physiotherapy clinics are ineffective. The main reason for this ineffectiveness is that, for monetary and organizational reasons, the parameters established in the studies are not respected. The DynaX Physio clinic is proud to offer a treatment option for calcified tendonitis that is truly scientifically based.
Here is a comparative table of the proposed approaches:
