Interventions
Extracorporeal Shockwave therapy
The participants in this group will receive Extracorporeal shockwave therapy with baseline treatment. The Frequency of sessions will be 3-5 sessions. The Intensity of the exercise related to energy levels as Low to medium energy flux density (EFD) ranges from 0.08 to 0.28 mJ/mm²
Dry Needling
Frequency Will be 3 sessions per week. Repeated sessions over several weeks are often necessary for optimal tendon remodeling and pain relief. Intensity will be according to the depth and response-based application, Needles are inserted into myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) or directly into tendon tissue (peritendinous or intra-tendinous)
