Frozen Shoulder
Restore Range of Motion Without Injections
Non-surgical care for adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) using shockwave therapy, red light therapy, and corrective adjustments to restore range of motion and end chronic shoulder pain.
Understanding Frozen Shoulder
What It Is & Why It Happens
Frozen shoulder — clinically known as adhesive capsulitis — is a painful, mobility-stealing condition where the shoulder joint capsule thickens, tightens, and forms scar tissue. It typically goes through three phases: freezing (increasing pain), frozen (stiffness peaks), and thawing (slow improvement). Left alone, it can take 1–3 years to resolve. Standard medical care is usually cortisone injections, physical therapy, or surgery.
Our approach addresses frozen shoulder at the tissue level. Shockwave therapy breaks down adhesions and scar tissue inside the joint capsule. Red light therapy reduces inflammation and accelerates cellular healing. Corrective adjustments to the cervical spine, thoracic spine, and shoulder girdle restore the biomechanics that contribute to the condition.
Most frozen shoulder patients respond well to this protocol — frequently in a fraction of the time the natural course would take. The earlier you start, the more dramatic the improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients see meaningful improvement within 4–8 weeks of consistent care, with full recovery typically taking 2–4 months depending on the severity. That's a fraction of the 1–3 years frozen shoulder can take to resolve on its own.
It's intense but not unbearable, and the intensity is adjusted to your tolerance. Most patients describe it as a strong tapping sensation. Sessions are brief — typically just a few minutes per area.
