If shoulder pain is making it difficult to reach overhead, carry groceries, or sleep without discomfort, you’re not alone. At Birdsall Chiropractic Hand & Foot Clinic, we see just how much shoulder problems can affect everyday life—and we’re here to offer a solution that doesn’t rely on injections, medications, or surgery.
Our clinic proudly offers SoftWave Therapy, a trusted, non-invasive approach to treating shoulder pain by activating the body’s natural healing response. Whether your pain is the result of injury, overuse, or a chronic condition, SoftWave may be the next step in your recovery journey.
What Is SoftWave Therapy?
SoftWave Therapy is a type of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) that uses patented acoustic waves to penetrate deep into tissue. These waves stimulate increased blood flow, cellular repair, and stem cell activation—all without breaking the skin.
Unlike traditional focused shockwave devices, SoftWave’s unfocused waves treat a broader surface area, making it ideal for the shoulder joint and surrounding tissues, which often involve multiple structures in need of healing.
How SoftWave Helps Relieve Shoulder Pain
The shoulder is a complex joint made up of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and bursa sacs—all of which can become inflamed or injured. At Birdsall Chiropractic, we’ve found SoftWave to be especially effective because it doesn’t just treat the symptoms—it promotes repair at the cellular level.
SoftWave Therapy works by:
- Increasing blood supply to damaged tissues
- Stimulating the body’s natural healing cells (including dormant stem cells)
- Reducing inflammation and swelling
- Breaking down scar tissue and calcifications
- Desensitizing overactive pain nerves
The result? Less pain, greater range of motion, and improved overall function.
h3>Shoulder Conditions We Treat at Birdsall Chiropractic
SoftWave Therapy is effective for a wide range of shoulder issues, especially those that haven’t responded well to rest, physical therapy, or traditional chiropractic adjustments. These include:
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Shoulder bursitis
- Tendonitis or tendinopathy
- Calcific tendinitis
- Shoulder impingement
- Post-surgical pain and stiffness
If your shoulder pain is persistent or limiting your daily life, this therapy may help accelerate your recovery.
What to Expect During Your SoftWave Session
Treatment sessions typically last 15–20 minutes. After a brief evaluation, we apply a handheld SoftWave device to the area around your shoulder. The acoustic waves feel like strong pulses or taps and are generally well-tolerated. Some patients experience mild discomfort in areas of inflammation—but this often indicates where healing is most needed.
There’s no downtime after the procedure. Most patients begin to notice results within one to three sessions, though a full course may involve 3–6 treatments for optimal results.
