How Shockwave Therapy WorksIt is a highly effective way to obtain fast pain relief and mobility restoration. Together with being a non-invasive therapy, it eliminates the need for painkillers makes it an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and cure various indications causing acute or chronic shoulder pain. The therapy pulses sound waves into damaged tissues causing blood flow to stimulate healing where the therapy is directed. The soundwaves break up muscle spasms and adhesions that are often underlying reasons for the should pain in the first placeShockwave Therapy for Frozen ShoulderFrozen Shoulder is also known as adhesive capsulitis is a painful condition that arises from direct trauma to the shoulder or from repetitive strain in the shoulder. Typical treatment for frozen shoulder would be ice, rest, Advil, and possibly bracing. If these measures fail often people will see their doctor, who will most likely recommend physical therapy. If physical therapy fails to work an orthopedic consult would be the next step. Cortisone, a powerful anti-inflammatory can be recommended by the orthopedic. This will reduce swelling and inflammation.When conventional therapy fails to relieve Shoulder painShockwave Therapy is a highly effective way to speed recovery from adhesive capsulitis. Its benefits are that the treatment is fast and comfortable. As stated earlier, there is less need for opioids to relieve the painful shoulder. It should be noted that pulsed shockwave therapy is also effective for other soft tissue issues like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome.How Many Shoulder Pain Shockwave Treatments are needed?Anywhere from 8-12 treatments are usually enough to heal a bad shoulder problem. I actually think physical therapy after resolving the shoulder pain is an important step after the pain subsides. This can go a long way to avoiding the shoulder pain from returning. Often when the pain subsides the patient with the bad shoulder feels they are all better. Usually, that is not the case from my experience treating adhesive capsulitis for almost 30 years. Why Choose Core Health for your Shoulder Pain?When first-line remedies fail and the patient is looking at surgical resolution Pulsed Shockwave therapy may help them avoid surgery. Surgery for shoulder problems should be the last effort not the first. If patients at Core Health Darien do not see results within a few treatments more expensive imaging studies like MRI are indicated and would be helpful for an orthopedic consultation.Core Health Darien-Dr.Brian McKayCore Health 551 Post RoadDarien CT 06820203-656-3636Have a Question?
