Intervention 1: Intervention: ESWT by weekly interval for three consecutive weeks; 2000 focused shock waves and 2000 radial pulses in three sessions (4000 shock waves/session of 0.2 mJ/mm2) at weekly intervals. Intervention 2: Placebo: Sham treatment was done where standard contact of radial and focus probe with the skin was avoided. The machine makes a noise with every shock wave delivered and, in order to enhance the sham design, minimal energy pulses (0.04mJ/mm2) were generated.
