Kontaveit cut her 2022 season short in October and took another two-month break in February to focus on the issue.
"I am ready for new challenges after my last effort as a professional tennis player - to enjoy the game and compete as hard as I can at Wimbledon."
Kontaveit, now ranked 79th in the world, exited the Australian Open in the second round and has not played since a first-round defeat at the French Open in May.
A quarter-final run at Melbourne Park in 2020 is her best Grand Slam result to date.
Kontaveit won four titles and reached the WTA Finals in a breakthrough 2021 season and was ranked world number two last September at the U.S. Open, where she lost to Serena Williams in the second round.
