CALCIFIC TENDINITIS Ross Hauser, M.D. Calcific tendinitis is a condition in which there is calcium deposits in the tendon. The traditional treatment of this condition is physical therapy and anti-inflammatory drugs. Of course this does nothing to cure the underlying disorder. Calcium is the main alkaline buffer in the body. If the person has calcium deposits all over as evidenced by bone spurs, arthritis, poor circulation, abnormal breast scans (calcium deposits seen), coronary artery disease, then there is a systemic acidosis condition that needs to be treated. In our office we would do blood pH testing. If it is a local calcium deposit problem then the calcium is being deposited to strengthen a weakened tendon. It is no more complicated then that. The body deposits calcium and bone in area that are injured, stretched, and torn to help strengthen them. So to strengthen the area so no more calcium needs to be deposited we would recommend Prolotherapy. Prolotherapy is very effective at getting rid of the pain of calcific tendinitis. It is also great at getting rid of the pain of bone spurs and degenerative arthritis (also conditions where the person gets metastatic calcium deposits...calcium depositing in areas it normally does not). But doctor what about the calcium deposit? Everyone has goofy stuff show up on x-ray. The point is treat the person not the x-ray. Can you move your arm? Can you swing a tennis racket? Can you lift weights? If the answers are yes, yes, yes, and more yes...then don't worry about the calcium deposit. For the person whose calcium deposit is really causing a problem then we would recommend Mesotherapy. Mesotherapy is a treatment where substances are injected into the mesoderm to correct underlying physiology. In this instance it would be to remove calcium. Mesotherapy for Calcifications and Bone Spurs Traditional medicine currently offers only one method to remove bone spurs: surgery. Bone spurs generally form as the body's response to stabilize a weak structure. Prolotherapy is therefore, successful because it strengthens weakened connective tissues, and relieves the pain of bone spurs. Mesotherapy and Endotherapy (deeper injections with the same solutions) offer non-surgical alternatives to decreasing and eliminating the actual bone spurs, not just the pain of the bone spurs. Athletes commonly experience calcifications in structures such as the biceps and rotator cuff tendons. Mesotherapy and Endotherapy are useful treatments to employ when these structures are painful. These treatments will, over time, help the body rid itself of the abnormal physiology that led to the calcifications, thus, reducing their size and negative effects.

There is no known cure for arthritis. Prolotherapy and nutritional supplements can help alleviate, reverse, or end arthritic pain by treating an underlying cause that contributes to degenerative disease, ligament laxity. Strengthening ligaments and other connective tissue can help prevent bone on bone arthritis from developing.
