The Problem

Your Doctor Said Surgery Is the Only Option.

Shockwave (ESWT)

Sends vibrations but can’t break hardened calcium. Often requires 3–6 sessions with no guarantee.

Needle Lavage (Barbotage)

Other hospitals offer barbotage — but they can only wash out soft calcium. Dense, chalk-like deposits? Still there after multiple attempts.

Arthroscopic Surgery

General anesthesia. 2–3 day hospital stay. 6+ weeks recovery. $10,000–$20,000.

There is another way.

The Solution

3rd Generation Calcific Deposit Crushing & Aspiration

Other hospitals do barbotage — they wash and hope the calcium comes out. We don't wash. We crush first, then aspirate. Our patented crushing device breaks even the hardest calcium — without tendon damage — using a patented guide system. 99% removal in a single session.

About Collagen Repair

Larger calcium deposits may leave a gap in the tendon. Dr. Rhee fills this with medical-grade collagen — like filling a pothole after removing the rock. This additional step ensures proper healing and affects the total cost ($5,000 – $15,000).
