Shoulder pain can make everyday movements difficult, from reaching overhead to lifting, sleeping comfortably, or even putting on a jacket. In this video, Dr. Nichole and Sara from the Physical Therapy department at Multicare Health Clinic in Sioux City demonstrate how SoftWave therapy may be used to help evaluate and treat shoulder discomfort.

During the demonstration, Sara explains that she has been dealing with pain and discomfort in her shoulder, especially around the rotator cuff and AC joint. These are common areas where people may experience irritation, inflammation, or soft tissue stress.

Dr. Nichole uses the SoftWave device across the shoulder to help locate areas of damaged or irritated tissue. As the treatment is applied, Sara is asked to let Dr. Nichole know when she feels a more noticeable sensation. This feedback helps identify the areas that may need more focused attention.

Sara describes the feeling as a shocking sensation that is noticeable but not too intense. She also explains that once the sensation fades, the area can feel like it has less pain.

The goal of SoftWave therapy is to help reduce inflammation and promote tissue healing by stimulating the body’s natural repair response. Multicare Health Clinic describes SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy as a non-invasive treatment option that uses acoustic sound waves and is FDA-cleared for clinical use. Individual results may vary, and the clinic notes that some patients may notice improvement after one or two visits, while others may require additional care.

For shoulder pain, this type of treatment may be considered for issues involving the rotator cuff, AC joint irritation, chronic inflammation, stiffness, or pain that has not improved with rest alone. The team at Multicare Health Clinic can evaluate your shoulder, determine what may be contributing to the problem, and help decide whether SoftWave therapy is appropriate for your condition.

If you have shoulder pain, limited range of motion, or discomfort that keeps coming back, do not ignore it. The sooner the source of the problem is evaluated, the better chance you have of getting back to normal movement and function.
