Shoulder Treatment Protocol in Livermore

Shoulder pain or dislocation is common among people, but how you take care of it matters the most! Remember, a common cause of shoulder pain is soreness of the tendon in the rotator cuff. This helps in the circular motion. Another common cause is soreness of the subacromial bursa (sac of fluid). If you experience pain or soreness while lifting, moving, playing a sport, or anything that requires lifting your arms or an old injury that still bothers your shoulder! Our shoulder treatment protocol includes shockwave, laser therapy, and joint rebalancing.

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is an effective, non-invasive treatment of injured soft tissues, specifically tendons. It is a safe alternative to surgery or steroids and other treatment methods. The application of shock waves is known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT). Extracorporeal shock wave therapy involves high or low energy shock waves on the painful area. These energy shock waves help break down calcium deposits that build up on tendons in the shoulder. After the procedure, you can expect a reduction in pain and improved blood circulation. It is fast and highly effective.

Laser Therapy

It is a safe, painless, and non-invasive therapy to reduce pain and swelling that allows the body to restore damaged tissue. It uses red and infrared light for pain relief. The laser pad is placed against the damaged area in the shoulder joint. The long-term benefits of therapy are more blood flow to the damaged area, faster healing of damaged tissue, improved immune system, scar reduction, and increased cellular energy.

Joint Rebalancing

Be it joint dislocation that is extremely painful or other conditions, the pain or other symptoms are an indication that your shoulder needs attention. Rebalancing can address the underlying cause of pain and help the body recognize its own ability to regain wellness.
