Utah Shock Wave Therapy Protocol uses innovative acoustic wave energy to treat the shoulder. The pressure waves create increased blood flow and stimulate more blood vessels to help with healing. The outcome? Decrease in muscle pain & aches, activate connective tissue in joints for better motion and improve blood flow.

Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
Severe pain limits the motion of the shoulder over the months. Pain is due to other conditions such as surgery, trauma, rotator cuff problems etc. Over time pain decreases as the process of healing the shoulder continues. But due to past trauma/decrease movement motion in the shoulder is stuck or froze.
"..The use of ESWT seems to have positive effects on treatment, quicker return to daily activities, and quality-of-life improvement on frozen shoulder."

".... the two groups showed significant decreases in terms of [PAIN] and patient-specific functional scales [ SHOULDER MOVEMENT ], although the extracorporeal shock wave therapy group showed significantly lower scores than the conservative physical therapy group......Extracorporeal shock wave therapy is considered an effective intervention for improving frozen shoulder patients’ pain and functions.."
