The shoulder is a complicated and dynamic series of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. Yes, I said joints (plural) not joint (singular) because the shoulder is in fact composed of multiple joints. When the muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, or joints that comprise the shoulder are injured, weakened, worn down, or even simply imbalanced, you may experience pain, weakness, and reduced mobility.
Medication can help provide symptomatic relief, but comes with risks and side effects and doesn’t address the underlying cause of the pain.
But there is a better way!
Acupuncture has yielded fantastic results for thousands of years for both acute and chronic causes of shoulder pain. I blend both traditional techniques like acupuncture and cupping therapy, with modern cutting edge treatments like Cold Laser Therapy for uniquely comprehensive, individualized treatments. I strongly believe that better tools yields better value and better results.
Top Treatment Options:
- Acupuncture PLUS Cold Laser Therapy: Our signature and most recommended treatment option. Acupuncture stimulates your body’s innate healing pathways while the laser provides abundant energy directly to your cells to accelerate healing by as much as 50% to 70%. For shoulder issues like arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, or muscle strains, this is generally the most effective option.
- Acupuncture (ONLY): This traditional modality has been proven to be effective for a wide variety of shoulder ailments, providing both pain relief and accelerating healing responses.
- Acupuncture PLUS Cupping: This combination can be especially effective for issues with muscle and fascia in the shoulder as it helps to hydrate and mobilize the tissues.
- Cold Laser Therapy: This is a great, needle-free, pain-free, ultra-safe alternative. Thousands of published studies have revealed that laser therapy alleviates pain, reduces inflammation, and dramatically reduces healing times.
