Tension to the muscles of the shoulder can refer pain in the head and neck. Muscle knots or Myofascial Trigger Points can create pain into the head. Tension Type Headaches can be triggered by a shoulder problem.

Shockwave Therapy produces a sound wave, focused into your body, at a specific frequency and intensity to stimulate new blood vessel growth, cellular regeneration, and a trigger of the healing part of your immune response. Conditions where the healing has slowed, chronic pain that has lasted a few months, and inflammation and swelling that has not resolved, are perfect for Shockwave Therapy as a treatment option.

If you have tried other treatments but your pain persists, or returns, your healing process might be stalled and need a 'boost'. Steroids reduce inflammation but can delay healing. You can try PRP injections or other injectables guided by x-ray imaging to try and affect healing. OR you can try a painless therapy that is FDA approved to treat chronic pain in the shoulder.

Long term effectiveness of shoulder SWT is excellent as it stimulates regeneration of tissue and healing, compared to therapies that temporarily reduce pain and inflammation.
