What Causes Frozen Shoulder?

Adhesive capsulitis develops when the shoulder joint capsule becomes inflamed and thickened, causing scar tissue to form. Range of motion becomes severely restricted and pain can be constant. Traditional treatment with physical therapy alone is slow, and cortisone injections provide only temporary relief.

How Shockwave Therapy Helps

Acoustic shockwaves break up calcific deposits in the shoulder, reduce inflammation in the joint capsule, and stimulate tissue remodeling. For calcific tendinitis specifically — where calcium deposits form in the rotator cuff tendons — shockwave therapy has clinical success rates over 80%.
