Treating High-School Athletes’ Shoulder Pain with SoftWave Therapy at Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness

Published July 8th, 2024 by Dr. Sam Camarata

High-school athletes are under immense physical demands, balancing rigorous practice sessions, games, and workout routines. This relentless schedule can often lead to shoulder pain and injuries, which can hinder their performance and recovery. At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness in North Chili, Rochester, NY, Dr. Sam Camarata and his team offer an innovative solution to shoulder pain for high-school athletes: SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT). This advanced therapy helps athletes recover faster, improve mobility, and stay in peak condition without resorting to drugs, medications, injections, or surgery.

The High Demands on High-School Athletes

The Physical Challenges

High-school athletes frequently engage in demanding sports activities that require top performance during practices, games, and workouts. These activities can place significant stress on their growing bodies, particularly the shoulders, leading to pain and injuries.

Sports Involving Shoulder Strain

Many high-school sports involve repetitive shoulder movements, increasing the risk of shoulder pain and injuries. These sports include:

  • Baseball and Softball: Repeated throwing motions can lead to rotator cuff injuries and tendonitis.
  • Football: Quarterbacks place heavy strain and stress on their shoulder during repeated throwing during practice and games.
  • Swimming: Continuous shoulder rotations can cause impingement and swimmer’s shoulder.
  • Basketball: Shooting and passing movements can result in rotator cuff strains.
  • Volleyball: Spiking and serving actions can lead to shoulder bursitis.
  • Wrestling: Grappling and holding can cause shoulder dislocations and strains.
  • Tennis: Serving and hitting can lead to shoulder impingement and tendonitis.

Weightlifting and Shoulder Pain

High-school athletes also engage in weightlifting to build strength and enhance performance. However, improper form and technique, along with lifting heavy weights, can contribute to shoulder pain and injuries. Ensuring proper form and technique is crucial to preventing shoulder issues.

The Solution: SoftWave Therapy

How SoftWave Therapy Helps High-School Athletes

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to stimulate healing at the cellular level. This therapy provides numerous benefits for high-school athletes, including:

Faster Recovery

SoftWave Therapy accelerates the body’s natural healing processes, allowing athletes to recover quickly between practices, games, and workouts.

Pain Relief and Injury Repair

SoftWave Therapy targets the root causes of shoulder pain and promotes the repair of underlying injuries. This helps athletes stay pain-free and maintain peak performance.

Improved Blood Flow and Circulation - Better Endurance & Strength!

SoftWave Therapy enhances blood flow and circulation through angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels. This improved circulation delivers essential nutrients and oxygen to the injured tissues, promoting healing and better endurance and strength.

Enhanced Mobility and Range of Motion

SoftWave Therapy improves joint flexibility and muscle strength, enabling athletes to move more freely and perform at their best.

Injury Prevention

Regular SoftWave Therapy sessions help prevent future injuries by maintaining optimal shoulder health and function.

The Science Behind SoftWave Therapy

SoftWave Therapy works by stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms, including:

  • Angiogenesis: Promotes the formation of new blood vessels, improving blood flow and nutrient delivery to injured tissues.
  • Stem Cell Activation and Migration: Activates and mobilizes the body’s stem cells to the injury site, promoting natural tissue repair and regeneration.
  • Modulation of Inflammation: Regulates the body’s inflammatory response, reducing swelling and pain.
  • Activation of Toll-Like Receptors: These receptors play a crucial role in the immune response and tissue regeneration.
  • VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor): Promotes new blood vessel growth.
  • eNOS (Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase): Enhances blood flow and reduces inflammation.
  • BMP (Bone Morphogenetic Proteins): Essential for bone and cartilage repair.

Tips for High-School Athletes: Focus on Proper Form and Technique

Importance of Proper Form and Technique

For high-school athletes, especially those engaged in weightlifting, focusing on proper form and technique is essential to prevent shoulder pain and injuries. Lifting heavy weights without the correct technique can lead to strains, sprains, and other injuries.
