Shoulder impingement syndrome can cause significant pain and restrict your ability to perform daily activities. 

At Thrive Chiropractic in Westlake Village, California, Dr. Laura Willis and Dr. Mike Willis offer an innovative, non-surgical, non-injections solution using SoftWave Therapy. This advanced treatment utilizes electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to promote healing and tissue regeneration, providing effective relief from shoulder impingement syndrome.

Understanding Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

Shoulder impingement syndrome occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff become irritated and inflamed as they pass through the subacromial space, the narrow area between the top of the shoulder blade (acromion) and the rotator cuff. This condition can lead to pain, swelling, and restricted movement.

Causes and Symptoms of Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

Several factors can contribute to the development of shoulder impingement syndrome, including:

• Repetitive Overhead Activities: Such as swimming, tennis, baseball or painting, which can irritate and damage the rotator cuff tendons.
• Poor Posture: Slouching or hunching can lead to impingement by altering the mechanics of the shoulder joint.
• Age-Related Degeneration: Wear and tear over time can cause the tendons to weaken and become more susceptible to impingement.
• Previous Shoulder Injuries: Trauma or previous injuries can lead to structural changes that contribute to impingement.

Common symptoms of shoulder impingement syndrome include:

• Pain in the Shoulder: Especially when lifting the arm or reaching overhead.
• Weakness in the Shoulder and Arm: Difficulty lifting or holding objects.
• Limited Range of Motion: Stiffness and difficulty moving the shoulder.
• Swelling and Tenderness: Around the front and side of the shoulder.

Who is Prone to Shoulder Impingement Syndrome?

Shoulder impingement syndrome often affects:

• Athletes: Particularly those involved in sports that require repetitive overhead movements, such as baseball, swimming, and tennis.
• Manual Laborers: Individuals whose jobs involve frequent lifting, reaching, or overhead activities.
• Older Adults: Due to age-related degeneration and wear and tear on the shoulder joint.
• Individuals with Poor Posture: Those who slouch or have rounded shoulders are more prone to impingement.

The Science Behind SoftWave Therapy for Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

SoftWave Therapy, an advanced shock wave technology uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Here’s how it helps treat shoulder impingement syndrome:

1. Reduces Pain and Inflammation: Provides immediate relief by decreasing pain and swelling in the shoulder.
2. Enhances Blood Flow and Circulation via Angiogenesis: Promotes the formation of new blood vessels, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to the irritated tendons.
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 tendons and surrounding 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.
