Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, can severely limit your range of motion and cause significant pain. At Thrive Chiropractic in Westlake Village, California, Dr. Laura Willis and Dr. Mike Willis offer an innovative, non-surgical, non-injection solution using SoftWave Therapy. This advanced shock wave treatment utilizes electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to promote healing and tissue regeneration, providing effective relief from frozen shoulder.

Understanding Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. It occurs when the connective tissue surrounding the shoulder joint thickens and tightens, restricting movement. This condition typically develops in three stages: freezing, frozen, and thawing.

Causes and Symptoms of Frozen Shoulder

The exact cause of frozen shoulder is not fully understood, but several factors can contribute to its development:

• Immobilization: Prolonged immobilization of the shoulder, often due to surgery or injury.
• Systemic Conditions: Diseases such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, and cardiovascular disease.
• Inflammation: Inflammatory processes in the shoulder joint.

Common symptoms of frozen shoulder include:

• Pain and Stiffness: Especially in the shoulder and upper arm, worsening at night.
• Limited Range of Motion: Difficulty moving the shoulder, both actively and passively.
• Difficulty with Daily Activities: Challenges performing tasks that involve shoulder movement, such as dressing or reaching.

Who is Prone to Frozen Shoulder?

Frozen shoulder often affects:

• Individuals Recovering from Surgery or Injury: Those who have had their shoulder immobilized for an extended period.
• People with Systemic Conditions: Such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, or cardiovascular disease.
• Middle-Aged and Older Adults: Particularly those between the ages of 40 and 60.
• Women: They are more likely than men to develop frozen shoulder.

The Science Behind SoftWave Therapy for Frozen Shoulder at Thrive Chiropractic

SoftWave Therapy uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Here’s how it helps treat frozen shoulder:

1. Reduces Pain and Inflammation: Provides immediate relief by decreasing pain and swelling in the shoulder joint.
2. Enhances Blood Flow and Circulation via Angiogenesis: Promotes the formation of new blood vessels, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to the affected tissues.
3. Stimulates Healing Molecules: Activates eNOS (endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase) and VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) to support tissue repair.
4. Encourages Neovascularization: Ensures better nutrient delivery and waste removal through the development of new blood vessels.
5. Activates Stem Cells for Tissue Regeneration: Stimulates, activates, and mobilizes stem cells, aiding in the natural repair and regeneration of the shoulder tissues.
6. Non-Surgical, Non-Injection, Drug-Free Alternative: Offers a safe and effective treatment option without the risks associated with surgery, injections, or medications.
