What Is Tendonitis of the Shoulder?
Tendonitis of the shoulder is a repetitive stress or overuse injury that occurs when the shoulder joint becomes irritated and inflamed. Inflammation can pinch or compress the nerves, muscles, and tendons in the shoulder and cause shoulder tendonitis or rotator cuff tendonitis. The most common symptoms of shoulder tendonitis are pain, tenderness or soreness, trouble using your shoulder or holding your arm in certain positions, swelling, loss of range of motion and mobility, and a clicking noise when using your shoulder.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive treatment option for chronic pain, inflammation, and tendon and joint problems. It is a safe, effective alternative to more invasive procedures or prescription medication. It is administered using a small, handheld device that directs acoustic soundwaves into your tendon or muscle at the site of your injury. These soundwaves stimulate your nerves to promote healing, soft tissue regeneration, and pain and inflammation relief.
How Can Shockwave Therapy Ease Tendonitis Symptoms?
Low-energy pulses of soundwaves can improve circulation around injured soft tissues, stimulating regeneration and regrowth. It also breaks down calcified deposits that might limit movement or cause pain and inflammation. This treatment method stimulates cell and tissue healing and overstimulates nerve endings in the injured area to relieve joint pain, shoulder pain, and knee pain.
What Are the Benefits of Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a safe alternative to surgery or prescription painkillers and can be combined with other chiropractic therapies. It is also effective at healing severe or complex injuries that would otherwise require months of rehabilitation. You will not experience any negative side effects or have to go through any downtime after treatment.
