Got Shoulder Pain? Get Shockwave Therapy in Keller
Shoulder pain can stem from various reasons, be it injury, overuse, or a health condition. One condition our Keller chiropractor, Dr. Ronald Faries, sees a fair bit of is tendonitis of the shoulder, which can be quite painful. The good news is we offer shockwave therapy to help you get rid of shoulder pain.
What Is Tendonitis of the Shoulder?
Tendonitis of the shoulder is marked by inflammation, swelling, a dull pain, and stiffness. It’s a condition caused by injury, overuse, and/or improper shoulder movement. The shoulder is a complicated joint capable of a wide range of motions and great strength. Through use and abuse, it can suffer from a lot of pain.
Tendonitis of the shoulder can heal on its own with proper rest, stretching, and icing. However, if you’ve been dealing with shoulder pain for quite some time, or are in a physically demanding sport or industry, come see Dr. Faries to either help you get out of pain through shockwave therapy, or to discuss what you can do to avoid causing pain and injury.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Dr. Faries strives to provide non-invasive and drug-free pain relief methods. Shockwave therapy is one of them. Said therapy is a treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing process. It excels at helping your body heal soft tissue, like tendons and muscles. Shockwave therapy involves pressing a device that sends shockwaves through the treatment area at just the right frequency to improve blood flow and trigger growth hormone production.
How Shockwave Therapy Treats Tendonitis
A shockwave therapy session lasts approximately 20 minutes. There should be no pain, but you might experience discomfort if your tendonitis is severe. While you may not notice improvement right away, your body immediately starts healing at the cellular level. Follow-up sessions may be recommended to ensure full recovery.
