Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. It typically develops slowly, and then goes through phases where symptoms worsen before gradually resolving. At SoftWave by Molotherapy, we have developed a comprehensive approach to treating frozen shoulder using our innovative SoftWave therapy in conjunction with our holistic MOLO method. This method not only addresses immediate pain relief but also focuses on long-term recovery and prevention strategies.
Understanding Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder occurs when the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint becomes thickened and tight, often leading to the development of scar tissue. This limits movement and causes pain. Causes of frozen shoulder can include immobility due to recent injury, surgery, or chronic conditions, but often the exact cause may not be clear.
The MOLO Method Approach
At SoftWave by Molotherapy, we apply the MOLO method to the treatment of frozen shoulder, which encompasses several key components:
Treat Pain: Initially, our focus is on reducing pain. SoftWave therapy is used to target inflamed and painful areas around the shoulder, using acoustic waves to increase blood flow, decrease inflammation, and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.
Train to Desensitize Tissue: Alongside pain treatment, we aim to desensitize the surrounding tissues of the shoulder. This involves gentle exercises and therapies designed to reduce the hypersensitivity of the shoulder capsule and surrounding tissues.
Restore Range of Motion (ROM): Gradually, through specific movements and guided exercises, we work to restore the range of motion in your shoulder. SoftWave therapy aids in this process by improving tissue elasticity and reducing tightness.
Tactics to Reduce Injury: Education on movement patterns and lifestyle adjustments plays a crucial role in preventing future injuries. We provide patients with strategies to maintain shoulder health and prevent the recurrence of symptoms.
Teach to Enjoy Movement: Ultimately, our goal is to help patients return to the movements and activities they love without pain. This involves personalized coaching and tailored activity plans to ensure sustainable shoulder health.
SoftWave Therapy: Targeted Treatment
Our treatment begins with a thorough mapping of the shoulder area and any referral areas where pain might be radiating. By identifying these critical pain points, SoftWave therapy can be precisely targeted to the most affected areas, ensuring optimal outcomes:
Intensity and Pulses: The treatment typically involves an intensity level that is comfortable yet effective for the patient, delivering between 300 to 500 pulses per area to maximize tissue response.
Focus on Pain Points: We focus on the most painful points identified during the mapping process. This patient-centric approach ensures that each session directly addresses the areas most in need of treatment.
Treatment Schedule
Treatment for frozen shoulder at SoftWave by Molotherapy is structured to provide gradual but steady improvement:
Frequency: Initially, treatments are typically scheduled twice a week for the first two weeks to jumpstart the healing process.
Continuation: After the initial phase, treatments are reduced to once a week for the next four weeks to reinforce healing and extend the range of motion restoration.
