SoftWave Therapy for Shoulder Pain in Carrollton, TX
Shoulder Pain Keeping You From Doing What You Love?
Reaching overhead. Sleeping on your side. Lifting weights. Playing golf. Getting dressed. Even reaching into the back seat of your car.
​
When your shoulder hurts, simple movements can become frustrating.
At AXE Chiropractic in Carrollton, TX, Dr. Brett Stephens provides SoftWave Therapy for shoulder pain using advanced acoustic wave technology designed to stimulate your body's natural healing response.
​
SoftWave Therapy is non-invasive, drug-free and requires no injections or surgery.
What Is SoftWave Therapy for Shoulder Pain?
SoftWave Therapy uses therapeutic acoustic waves delivered through an applicator placed against the skin.
​
These acoustic waves interact with the targeted tissue and are used to stimulate biological responses associated with tissue repair, circulation and healing.
For shoulder patients, treatment can be directed toward painful or dysfunctional areas involving the rotator cuff tendons, surrounding muscles and other soft tissues based on your examination.
​
SoftWave Therapy may be used as part of a conservative treatment approach to help:
​
Reduce pain • Improve shoulder mobility • Support tissue healing • Improve function • Help you return to normal activity
Shoulder Conditions We Commonly Evaluate and Treat
Shoulder pain isn't a diagnosis. Numerous structures can produce similar symptoms, which is why your evaluation matters.
Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy, Injuries or tears
The rotator cuff consists of muscles and tendons that help stabilize and move the shoulder. Overuse, repetitive activity and age-related changes can contribute to pain and reduced function.
Shoulder Bursitis
The rotator cuff consists of muscles and tendons that help stabilize and move the shoulder. Overuse, repetitive activity and age-related changes can contribute to pain and reduced function.
Chronic Shoulder Pain
Persistent shoulder pain may involve several tissues rather than one isolated structure. Patients often come to us after months or years of symptoms.
Sports & Overuse Injuries
Weightlifting, baseball, swimming, pickleball, tennis, golf and repetitive occupational activities can place significant stress on the shoulder.
Shoulder Impingement–Related Pain
Pain during overhead movements can involve the rotator cuff, bursa and surrounding structures. Determining which tissues are contributing to your symptoms helps guide treatment.
Calcific Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
Calcium deposits can develop within rotator cuff tendons, commonly involving the supraspinatus tendon. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy has been studied extensively for this condition.
