Unlock the Benefits of Shockwave Therapy for Frozen Shoulder

at Hammett Integrative Health – Contra Costa County, Bay Area

What is Frozen Shoulder?

Frozen shoulder occurs when the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint becomes inflamed and thickened, leading to significant stiffness and pain. This condition typically progresses through three stages:

  1. Freezing (Painful) Stage: The shoulder becomes increasingly painful, and movement starts to become limited.

  2. Frozen (Stiffness) Stage: Pain may lessen, but the shoulder becomes stiffer, further restricting movement.

  3. Thawing (Recovery) Stage: Gradually, movement begins to return, and stiffness decreases.

The entire process can last from several months to a few years, making effective treatment essential for regaining shoulder function.

Non-Invasive and Safe

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment, which means no surgery, no injections, and minimal risk of complications. There’s no need for anesthesia, and the recovery period is much shorter than with more invasive treatments. This makes it an appealing option for those seeking effective relief without the risks associated with surgery.

Accelerated Healing

Shockwave therapy doesn’t just mask the symptoms—it promotes healing. The acoustic waves used in this treatment boost tissue regeneration by increasing collagen production and stimulating the growth of new blood vessels. This accelerated healing process can shorten the duration of frozen shoulder stages, helping you recover more quickly and get back to your normal activities.

The Benefits of Shockwave Therapy for Frozen Shoulder

Improved Range of Motion

Frozen shoulder is known for severely limiting movement, but shockwave therapy can help restore your range of motion. The treatment works to break down adhesions and scar tissue within the shoulder capsule, allowing for greater flexibility and mobility. Many patients experience noticeable improvements in their shoulder movement, often after just a few sessions.

Effective Pain Relief

One of the most immediate benefits of shockwave therapy is its ability to significantly reduce pain. By stimulating increased blood flow and reducing inflammation in the shoulder joint, shockwave therapy can alleviate the intense pain that comes with frozen shoulder, providing relief after just a few sessions.

  • Some patients may experience relief from their symptoms after just two to four sessions of Shockwave therapy. However, it often takes several weeks to see significant improvement. The body continues to heal and regenerate over time, so patients may continue to see improvement for several months after completing the treatment course.

  • While Shockwave therapy is considered safe, some patients may experience minor side effects such as redness, bruising, or temporary discomfort at the treatment site. Serious complications are rare but possible, so it's essential to discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider before starting treatment.

Additionally, staying hydrated and applying ice to the treatment area can help reduce any minor discomfort or swelling. Dr. Hammett will provide specific post-treatment care instructions tailored to your condition.
