Calcific Tendinitis
Q. Can calcium deposits disappear on their own?
A.
Yes, calcium can naturally resorb, often during the painful resorbing phase.
📝 Detailed Answer
Natural calcium resorption: ① 30–50% of cases naturally resorb without treatment, ② resorbing phase is most painful (paradoxically signals healing), ③ takes 6 months to several years naturally, ④ Korean medicine accelerates resorption to 2–6 months, ⑤ asymptomatic deposits may remain stable for years. Treatment shortens painful period.
