Shockwave therapy and low-intensity laser therapy (LILT) are highly effective for treating shoulder conditions by promoting healing, reducing pain, and improving mobility. Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate tissue regeneration, break down calcifications, reduce chronic pain, and improve blood circulation. LILT uses lasers or LEDs to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and accelerate tissue repair through enhanced cellular metabolism. Together, they provide a complementary approach, with shockwave aiding mechanical repair and LILT boosting cellular regeneration, leading to faster recovery and improved shoulder function.
This unique muscle treatment helps shoulder conditions by reprogramming the brain-muscle connection to improve neuromuscular function, relieve pain, and restore mobility. It combines muscle manipulation, controlled movements, and neurological retraining to correct muscle imbalances, reduce pain sensitivity, and enhance strength and function. By addressing both the physical and neurological aspects of shoulder issues, this treatment improves joint stability and offers faster recovery for conditions like frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injuries, and impingement syndrome.
Our Comprehensive Exam & X-ray for the shoulder and related structures provides a detailed evaluation to pinpoint the root cause of your discomfort. We begin with a consultation to review your symptoms, medical history, and any previous injuries. A physical exam follows to assess shoulder mobility, strength, and joint function. To ensure a complete understanding of your condition, we also perform digital X-rays of both the shoulder and the full spine. This allows us to assess alignment, joint health, and any related spinal issues that could be contributing to your shoulder pain. This thorough approach ensures an accurate diagnosis and a customized treatment plan for optimal recovery.

Some individuals may experience relief within a few weeks, while others may take several months. Consistent follow-up and commitment to the treatment plan can help expedite recovery.
Recommended exercises may include gentle range-of-motion exercises, strengthening exercises for the rotator cuff and shoulder muscles, and stretches to improve flexibility. Dr. Birk will design a specific exercise regimen based on your individual needs and condition.
You should seek professional help if your shoulder pain is severe, persists for more than a few days, limits your range of motion, or is accompanied by other symptoms like swelling, numbness, or tingling. Early intervention can prevent further injury and promote a quicker recovery.
