The wheel continues to turn in medicine, too. After giving a presentation to 200 doctors in Portugal last week about my findings on calcific tendonitis, our page on calcific tendonitis is now being completely revised.
Many scientific findings gained in recent years will be incorporated into the new article, as will my own experiences from over 3,000 treatments.
As part of my preparation for the presentation in Portugal, I statistically analyzed more than 1,300 cases from recent years. These results differ slightly from those published in the literature. This may be due to the fact that there are hardly any studies with more than 400 cases. Here, with the 1,300 cases examined, we are far above this number, so our results are also of interest to many other physicians working in scientific research. The fact that we are not a university institution is also important. The patients who come to us are a direct reflection of the population. University hospitals generally have a select clientele, as patients are only treated after being referred to other physicians. This is an important aspect in the evaluation of research work.
