The evidence for ESWT is tenuous at best; the shoulder being the least well studied of all the tendinopathies; and biceps tendinopathy virtually unstudied.

If you can afford it, it probably won't hurt you (though the treatment is quite painful); however, it is quite expensive for a therapy that really is a dice roll as to its success.
