At Hoang Chiropractic Center, Dr. Kim Hoang, Dr. Kimberly Trainor, and Dr. Hayley Meyers offer an advanced, non-surgical solution for treating rotator cuff tears through SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology. This innovative therapy provides effective relief and promotes natural healing, helping patients return to their daily activities without pain.

Understanding Rotator Cuff Tears

Anatomy of the Shoulder and Rotator Cuff

The shoulder is a complex and highly mobile joint, consisting of three main bones: the humerus (upper arm bone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the clavicle (collarbone). The shoulder joint is stabilized by the rotator cuff, a group of four muscles and their associated tendons that surround the shoulder joint. These muscles and tendons work together to keep the head of the humerus firmly within the shallow socket of the scapula.

The four muscles that make up the rotator cuff are:

• Supraspinatus: Runs along the top of the shoulder blade and helps lift the arm.
• Infraspinatus: Located on the back of the shoulder blade and aids in rotating the arm outward.
• Teres Minor: Positioned below the infraspinatus and assists with outward rotation of the arm.
• Subscapularis: Located on the front of the shoulder blade and helps rotate the arm inward.

Causes of Rotator Cuff Tears

Rotator cuff tears can occur due to various factors, including:

• Acute Injury: Sudden movements or trauma, such as lifting heavy objects or falling on an outstretched arm, can cause rotator cuff tears.
• Degenerative Changes: Over time, wear and tear from repetitive motions or aging can weaken the rotator cuff tendons, making them more susceptible to tears.
• Overuse: Repetitive overhead activities, such as throwing, swimming, or lifting, can strain the rotator cuff and lead to tears.

Symptoms of Rotator Cuff Tears

Common symptoms of rotator cuff tears include:

• Shoulder Pain: Persistent pain, particularly when lifting the arm or reaching overhead.
• Weakness: Weakness in the shoulder, making it difficult to lift or rotate the arm.
• Limited Range of Motion: Reduced ability to move the shoulder, especially during activities that involve lifting the arm.
• Clicking or Popping: Sensations of clicking or popping in the shoulder during movement.

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology for Rotator Cuff Tears

How SoftWave Therapy Works

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to stimulate healing, repair, and regeneration at the cellular level. This non-invasive, drug-free therapy promotes true healing and recovery by:

• Reducing Inflammation: SoftWave Therapy helps reduce inflammation in the rotator cuff tendons, alleviating pain and discomfort.
• Enhancing Blood Flow: By promoting angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels), SoftWave Therapy improves blood flow and nutrient delivery to the affected area, accelerating the healing process.
• Activating Stem Cells: SoftWave Therapy stimulates the activation and migration of resident stem cells, promoting tissue repair and regeneration.
• Modulating the Immune Response: The therapy activates toll-like receptors, enhancing the body's immune response and promoting the release of growth factors necessary for healing.
• Producing VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor): VEGF promotes the formation of new blood vessels, further enhancing blood flow and nutrient delivery.

Benefits of SoftWave Therapy for Rotator Cuff Tears

SoftWave Therapy offers numerous benefits for individuals suffering from rotator cuff tears:

• Non-Invasive and Drug-Free: SoftWave Therapy provides a safe alternative to surgery, injections and medications, with no downtime.
• Effective Pain Relief: By reducing inflammation and promoting healing, SoftWave Therapy alleviates pain and discomfort associated with rotator cuff tears.
• Improved Function and Mobility: Patients experience improved shoulder function, reduced stiffness, and enhanced overall mobility.
• Long-Term Healing: SoftWave Therapy promotes true healing and regeneration, offering lasting relief from rotator cuff tear symptoms.
