Are you struggling with Frozen Shoulder even after trying massage, acupuncture, steroid injections, pain meds, and physical therapy? (adhesive capsulitis)

Are you struggling with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) even after massage, acupuncture, steroid injections, pain meds, and physical therapy?

​If so, you're not alone.

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a common condition that affects about 2% to 5% of the population.

It can cause pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint, which can be frustrating and annoying.

Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem: our unique treatment protocol and medical breakthrough device called the StimPod.

The StimPod is a radio-frequency stimulation device that uses a unique waveform to stimulate the nerves and muscles in the shoulder joint.

This stimulation helps to reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, and promote healing in the affected area. In combination with gentle hands-on manual therapy and comfortable passive stretching, our treatment approach can help loosen up your frozen shoulder and get you back to 100%.

The Benefits of Radio-Frequency Stimulation
Radio-frequency stimulation has been shown to be an effective treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including frozen shoulder. A study published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research found that patients who received radio-frequency stimulation had significant improvements in shoulder function and range of motion compared to those who received only physical therapy. The study concluded that radio-frequency stimulation is a safe and effective treatment option for frozen shoulder.

Another study published in the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery found that radio-frequency stimulation was more effective than physical therapy alone in improving shoulder function and reducing pain in patients with frozen shoulder. The study concluded that radio-frequency stimulation should be considered as a first-line treatment for frozen shoulder, especially in patients who have not responded to other treatments.

A randomized controlled trial conducted in 2017 found that radio-frequency stimulation was effective in reducing pain and improving function in patients with frozen shoulder. The study involved 60 patients with frozen shoulder who were randomly assigned to either a treatment group that received radio-frequency stimulation or a control group that received standard physical therapy. After four weeks, the treatment group showed significant improvements in pain and function compared to the control group. The study concluded that radio-frequency stimulation is a safe and effective treatment option for frozen shoulder.

A case report published in 2019 described a patient with frozen shoulder who underwent radio-frequency stimulation therapy. The patient had tried multiple traditional treatments, including physical therapy and steroid injections, but had not experienced significant improvement. After just four sessions of radio-frequency stimulation therapy, the patient reported a significant reduction in pain and an increase in shoulder mobility. The authors of the case report concluded that radio-frequency stimulation may be an effective treatment option for patients with frozen shoulder who have not found relief with traditional approaches.

The Importance of Manual Therapy and Passive Stretching for Frozen Shoulder
While radio-frequency stimulation is a key component of our unique treatment protocol, we also emphasize the importance of manual therapy and passive stretching. These techniques help to loosen up the tight muscles and connective tissues in the shoulder joint, which can help to improve range of motion and reduce pain.

A study published in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science found that manual therapy and passive stretching were effective in improving shoulder function and reducing pain in patients with frozen shoulder. The study concluded that these techniques should be included as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for frozen shoulder.
