Frozen Shoulder
SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy — non-surgical, drug-free care.
Frozen shoulder — adhesive capsulitis — turns a simple reach into a sharp, stopping pain. The joint capsule thickens and tightens, motion shrinks month after month, and sleeping on that side becomes impossible. SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy targets the restricted capsule and surrounding soft tissue to reduce inflammation and help the shoulder release without injections, manipulation under anesthesia, or surgery.
- Progressive loss of shoulder range of motion
- Sharp pain at the end of a reach or when rotating the arm
- Difficulty reaching overhead, behind the back, or fastening clothing
- Night pain that disrupts sleep on the affected side
- A shoulder that feels stuck or blocked rather than weak
- Inflammation and thickening of the joint capsule
- Prolonged immobilization after injury or surgery
- Diabetes and thyroid conditions, which raise risk substantially
- Untreated rotator cuff irritation leading to protective guarding
- Unknown or idiopathic onset with no clear injury
How SoftWave Helps Frozen Shoulder
SoftWave's unfocused electrohydraulic shockwaves reach the shoulder capsule, rotator cuff, and surrounding fascia in a single broad pass — increasing blood flow, recruiting the body's own stem cells, softening restricted tissue, and calming the inflammation that drives protective guarding. As pain settles, motion returns more readily and gentle mobility work becomes tolerable instead of dreaded.
What to Expect
Treatments take about 10–15 minutes and are performed with your arm supported and relaxed. Frozen shoulder is a stubborn condition, so plan on a course of sessions over several weeks combined with simple at-home mobility work. Many patients notice easier reaching and better sleep in the first few visits, with range of motion continuing to improve after care concludes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can shockwave therapy really help frozen shoulder?▾
Yes. Because SoftWave treats a broad zone, it reaches the capsule and the surrounding cuff and fascia together — reducing inflammation and pain so the shoulder tolerates the movement it needs to regain motion.
Do I still need to do stretches?▾
Yes. SoftWave makes motion work tolerable and productive; the gains hold when you pair treatment with consistent gentle mobility work. We give you a simple home routine.
How is this different from a cortisone injection?▾
Cortisone suppresses inflammation temporarily and can weaken tissue with repeated use. SoftWave stimulates repair in the tissue itself, with no needles and no downtime.
How long does frozen shoulder take to resolve?▾
Left alone, adhesive capsulitis can drag on for a year or more. With treatment and mobility work most patients see meaningful change far sooner — we'll set realistic expectations at your evaluation.
