Shoulder pain can derail your daily routine, limit your mobility, and keep you from doing what you love—whether that’s lifting, playing, working, or sleeping comfortably. At Advantage Chiropractic, we’ve helped countless patients find lasting relief through innovative, non-invasive treatments. One therapy we’re especially excited about is SoftWave Therapy, a unique form of shockwave treatment that addresses pain at its source and jumpstarts the body’s natural healing process.

If you're dealing with frozen shoulder, rotator cuff tendinitis, bursitis, or general shoulder pain, keep reading to learn how SoftWave might be the relief you've been searching for.

 

 

What Is SoftWave Therapy?

SoftWave Therapy is a non-invasive shockwave treatment that uses broad-focused acoustic waves to stimulate cellular healing. Unlike traditional focused shockwave therapies, which concentrate energy on a very small point, SoftWave spreads the healing energy across a wider area. This makes the treatment gentler and ideal for large joints like the shoulder.

During a SoftWave session, we apply a handheld device to the skin. Pulses of energy penetrate deep into the tissue, reaching damaged or inflamed areas. Most patients feel a tapping or pulsing sensation, but no needles, surgery, or medications are involved.

 

 

How Shockwave Therapy Helps Shoulder Pain

Shoulder injuries can take a long time to heal—especially if blood flow is limited or scar tissue is involved. That’s where SoftWave Therapy makes a real difference. The acoustic waves help by:

• Increasing blood circulation to the affected area
  
  

• Stimulating stem cell activity and the body’s repair mechanisms
  
  

• Breaking up scar tissue that restricts movement
  
  

• Reducing inflammation and pain
  
  

These effects often result in faster healing, greater range of motion, and less dependence on medications or injections.

 

 

What Conditions Can It Treat?

At Advantage Chiropractic, we often recommend SoftWave Therapy to patients with:

• Rotator cuff injuries
  
  

• Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
  
  

• Shoulder impingement
  
  

• Calcific tendinitis
  
  

• Shoulder bursitis
  
  

• Post-surgical shoulder pain
  
  

If your shoulder pain hasn’t responded to physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, or other conservative treatments, SoftWave may be a game-changer.

 

 

What to Expect During Treatment

Most sessions take less than 20 minutes, and patients typically require 3 to 6 visits for full benefit. Some experience pain relief after just one or two treatments, while others notice gradual improvement as inflammation subsides and tissue regenerates.

There’s no downtime, no recovery period, and no restriction on your daily activity after treatment—making it a smart option for busy professionals, athletes, and active families.
