I have had it done on my quad but not sure of results. Anyone else experience with this to assist with soreness?

Had it on my wrist before and freaking loved it. Just wish I didn’t have to have a Rx for it here in MS.

Have it done on my calves regularly. Sometimes I dislike it and I'm left with some soreness. But mostly it really helps with the knots and tightness.

It doesnt hurt, but it's an awkward feeling. Not a fan while doing it, but cant deny the results

Has anyone ever used this for tendonitis?

It's exactly what I had it done for. I get a lot of other stuff done too while there. It's a chiropractor's office who specializes in sports injury and prevention. Usually get ART, Graston scraping, sometimes suction cupping, and finish with dry needling. He hooks the elctrodes up to the needles as well.

I'm always laying face down due to it being in the calves. But had some nagging pain in the foot that traces back to tendons in the front/side of the leg. Watched him put the needles in.... . Those bastards are longer than what I thought.

Like I mentioned, it sometimes leaves my muscles sore like a workout. But there's no doubt the tension and knots (which were the cause of the tendonitis) went down significantly. I went from pain running 2 miles to half marathons and 4 hour bike rides with 1.5 hour runs following them in a short time. And that was with very little rest period.
