If you've been diagnosed with a supraspinatus tear—whether partial or full thickness—you know how debilitating shoulder pain and weakness can become. Everyday tasks like lifting your arm, reaching overhead, or exercising can feel impossible. At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, we offer a cutting-edge non-surgical solution to help you heal and recover: SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy.


What Is a Supraspinatus Tear?

The supraspinatus muscle is one of four rotator cuff muscles that help stabilize and move the shoulder joint. It's responsible for initiating shoulder abduction (lifting the arm away from the body) and plays a critical role in shoulder stability.

Common causes of supraspinatus tears include:

  • Overuse or repetitive overhead motions (common in athletes and laborers)

  • Trauma or falls

  • Degeneration due to aging

  • Impingement syndrome

Symptoms may include:

  • Dull, aching shoulder pain

  • Pain that worsens with lifting or reaching

  • Weakness in the shoulder and arm

  • Limited range of motion

  • Difficulty sleeping on the affected side


SoftWave Therapy: A Breakthrough in Rotator Cuff Healing in North Chili and Rochester NY

SoftWave Therapy uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to penetrate deep into the shoulder and target the injured supraspinatus tendon and surrounding tissues. This non-invasive treatment stimulates a biological healing process at the cellular and tissue levels.

Scientific Mechanisms of SoftWave Therapy:

  • Mechanotransduction: Converts mechanical energy into healing cellular activity

  • Stem Cell Activation and Migration: Promotes tissue regeneration and repair

  • VEGF & eNOS: Encourages angiogenesis and increased blood flow for healing

  • Toll-Like Receptors & BMP: Modulates inflammation and improves structural tissue integrity

  • Flushes Out Trapped Inflammation & Senescent Cells: Reduces pain and stiffness

The result? Accelerated healing, improved strength, and lasting pain relief.


Why Choose SoftWave for Supraspinatus Recovery?

Many of our patients in Rochester come to us after trying rest, physical therapy, injections, or even surgery—with minimal success. SoftWave Therapy is:

  • Non-surgical

  • Non-injection
