Shoulder scar tissue can develop as a result of injuries, surgeries, or inflammation in the shoulder joint. At Align Health, we understand the impact of shoulder scar tissue on your shoulder mobility and overall well-being, and our dedicated team of healthcare professionals is committed to providing effective treatment, breaking down scar tissue, and improving shoulder function.
Understanding Shoulder Scar Tissue:
Scar tissue is formed by the body as a natural part of the healing process after an injury or surgery. In the shoulder joint, scar tissue can develop around the tendons, ligaments, or joint capsule, leading to stiffness, limited range of motion, and discomfort. If not addressed, shoulder scar tissue can restrict movement and affect daily activities.
Comprehensive Evaluation:
At Align Health, we begin the treatment process by conducting a comprehensive evaluation of your shoulder scar tissue. Our experienced healthcare providers will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and perform a physical examination of your shoulder to assess the extent of the scar tissue and its impact on shoulder function.
Personalized Treatment Plan:
Based on the evaluation, we will create a tailored treatment plan that aims to break down shoulder scar tissue and improve shoulder mobility. The plan may include a combination of the following approaches:
Manual Therapy: Our skilled therapists will use hands-on techniques such as myofascial release, massage, and gentle stretching to break down the scar tissue and improve tissue flexibility.
Physical Therapy: Customized exercises and stretches will be prescribed to improve shoulder range of motion, strengthen the shoulder muscles, and prevent the reformation of scar tissue.
Chiropractic Care: Gentle adjustments can help improve shoulder alignment, reduce joint restrictions, and alleviate stress on the affected area.
Cold Laser Therapy: Low-level laser therapy can be used to stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and improve blood flow in the shoulder area.
Heat and Cold Therapy: Application of heat or cold may be used to relax muscles, reduce pain, and improve the effectiveness of other treatments.
Supportive Devices: We may recommend the use of supportive devices, such as braces or slings, to protect the shoulder during the healing process.
Support and Education:
Throughout your journey with Align Health, we will provide you with valuable information and support to help you understand shoulder scar tissue and learn effective self-care strategies.
