SoftWave TRT: Advanced Healing for Rotator Cuff Tears at The Fix Chiropractic in Wilmington, NC

Published April 29th, 2024 by The Fix Chiropractic

Rotator cuff tears are a common yet debilitating shoulder injury that can significantly impact an individual's ability to perform daily activities and enjoy life. Dr. David Russ at The Fix Chiropractic in Wilmington, NC, provides a revolutionary treatment for rotator cuff injuries using SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT). This cutting-edge approach not only alleviates pain but also promotes natural healing of the shoulder, offering a superior alternative to traditional invasive treatments.

Understanding Rotator Cuff Tears

Anatomy of the Rotator Cuff: The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and their tendons that surround the shoulder joint, keeping the head of your upper arm bone firmly within the shallow socket of the shoulder. The muscles that make up the rotator cuff include:

  • Supraspinatus: This muscle runs along the top of the shoulder blade and is responsible for raising the arm and moving it away from the body.
  • Infraspinatus: Located on the back of the shoulder blade, this muscle helps rotate and extend the arm.
  • Teres Minor: This small muscle along the outer edge of the shoulder blade aids in arm rotation and brings it toward the body.
  • Subscapularis: This muscle sits at the front of the shoulder blade and acts to rotate the arm inward.

Causes and Symptoms of Rotator Cuff Tears: Rotator cuff tears can occur due to acute injury or through chronic wear and tear. Common causes include lifting, sports, repetitive arm activities—especially those done overhead—falls, and degenerative changes over time. Symptoms often include:

  • Persistent pain, especially at night
  • Muscle weakness when lifting or rotating the arm
  • A crackling sensation when moving the shoulder in certain positions

Traditional Medical Route vs. SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology

Traditionally, treatment options for rotator cuff tears have included physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, and surgery. These methods, however, can often lead to only temporary relief and may carry potential side effects or require extensive recovery times.

SoftWave TRT: A Breakthrough in Rotator Cuff Healing

SoftWave TRT stands out as a non-invasive, highly effective treatment for rotator cuff tears. Here’s how it benefits patients at The Fix Chiropractic:

  • Stimulation of Blood Flow and Angiogenesis: SoftWave TRT enhances blood circulation to the shoulder, facilitating the natural healing process by improving oxygen and nutrient delivery to the tissue.
  • Reduction of Inflammation: The therapy effectively decreases inflammation around the rotator cuff, significantly reducing pain and discomfort.
  • Activation of Cellular Repair: SoftWave TRT triggers the body’s own regenerative mechanisms, encouraging the repair and regeneration of damaged shoulder tissues.
  • Stimulation of Stem Cells: One of the unique aspects of SoftWave TRT is its ability to activate and recruit the body’s stem cells to the site of injury, promoting effective tissue healing and recovery.
