Is swimmer’s shoulder keeping you out of the pool this summer? It doesn’t have to. Wills Chiropractic offers several treatment options for swimmer’s shoulder, including shockwave therapy. This unique form of therapy offers non-invasive pain relief and promotes faster healing so you can get back to practicing your breaststroke.
Though you might not get it from the name, you don’t necessarily get swimmer’s shoulder from swimming. This condition is caused by repetitive stress on your shoulder tendons, which can be caused by any variety of athletic activities. Just like how you can get tennis elbow without ever picking up a racket, it’s possible that you can get swimmer’s shoulder without ever getting into the pool.
The signs of swimmer’s shoulder are hard to miss. Pain, weakness, and loss of range of motion are all symptomatic of this condition. If you think you have swimmer’s shoulder, it’s worth getting diagnosed as quickly as you can. Left untreated, it can develop into a torn labrum or rotator cuff.
Wills Chiropractic recommends shockwave therapy as an effective, non-invasive pain treatment method for patients suffering from swimmer’s shoulder and other conditions. The process is simple: We apply a SoftWave device to the affected area, and it produces potent sound waves that stimulate healing at the cellular level. A shockwave therapy session takes as little as 15 minutes and has no side effects.
Patients who have undergone shockwave therapy at Wills Chiropractic report results within weeks of treatment. It’s an excellent choice for non-invasive pain relief if you suffer from conditions like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, or other sports-related overuse injuries like tennis elbow or swimmer’s shoulder. And because it’s non-invasive, it may even work synergistically with other forms of treatment like Power Plate, personal training, and chiropractic care.
Don’t let a lingering injury keep you away from your favorite summer activities. Wills Chiropractic in Rochelle, IL, is proud to offer shockwave therapy for non-invasive pain relief and faster healing from swimmer’s shoulder.
