At Amplify Chiropractic and Wellness, our chiropractor Dr. Josh Rinaldi recommends combining radial and focused shockwave therapy to treat shoulder pain and eliminate the need for shoulder replacement surgery in Poughkeepsie, NY. Shockwave therapy can accelerate healing, restore function of the shoulder joint, reduce pain and inflammation, and improve range of motion in the shoulder.

Comprehensive Approach to Shoulder Pain Treatment

Combining radial and focused shockwave therapy offers a more comprehensive approach to the treatment of shoulder pain. Radial shockwave therapy can address superficial injuries that affect the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Focused shockwave therapy can accelerate healing of deeper injuries that affect the shoulder bone and joint.

Treat the Root Cause of Shoulder Pain

Dr. Rinaldi can create a personalized treatment program that addresses the root cause of your shoulder pain. The most common causes of shoulder pain in adults are tendon tears or inflammation, arthritis, joint damage or degradation, bursitis, tendinopathy, calcific tendonitis, strains or sprains, bone spurs, and rotator cuff tears. Combining radial and focused shockwave therapy allows us to get to the root cause of your pain and discomfort and stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities.

Find Lasting Relief Without Surgery

While prescription medication will only temporarily mask your symptoms and shoulder replacement surgery is highly invasive with a lengthy recovery period, shockwave therapy is nonsurgical, non-invasive, and low risk. Most people find relief in just five treatment sessions, and the body will continue to heal even after treatment is ended.

Enhanced Range of Motion and Function

When you undergo shoulder replacement surgery, you will have a long recovery period that includes physical and occupational therapy. When we use radial and focused shockwave therapies, we can accelerate the body’s healing processes and jump start its ability to repair muscles, tendons, and ligaments. We can also break down calcification and bone spurs that are causing pain and hindering movement and function. This means that you regain your range of motion and shoulder function much more quickly, without the need for an invasive procedure and lengthy recovery time.
