"CONCLUSION: There was no clinically meaningful benefit of SWT in pain and disability for Achilles tendinopathy, with evidence ranging from very low to moderate certainty. Because most effect estimates are based on very low- and low-certainty data, the true effects may change with future high-quality trials. At present, SWT should not be considered a routine treatment for either insertional or midportion Achilles tendinopathy, and alternative treatments should be prioritized."

Can shockwave immediately reduce tendon pain?

Research from Alsulaimani et al. (2026) would suggest not! Overall reduction in movement evoked pain was small and failed to reach the minimal clinically important difference of 1.5 points. Radial shockwave appears no more effective than sham for immediate changes in pain.

The US has unveiled an updated food pyramid, and it’s a clear shift toward simpler, more whole-food eating 👏 The new guidelines encourage more protein, fewer added sugars, and less reliance on ultraprocessed foods, while embracing healthy fats and nutrient-dense meals. ⁠
⁠
Officials say the streamlined approach is designed to help prevent chronic disease and make healthy choices easier to understand. ⁠
⁠
At its core, the message is refreshingly straightforward: eat real food, and let food be part of the solution.⁠
⁠
The old food pyramid was never about keeping you healthy. It was about making corporations money. ⁠
