Struggling with shoulder pain that won’t go away? Discover how SoftWave Therapy in Rochester, NY offers lasting, non-surgical relief and healing

Published April 18th, 2025 by Dr. Sam Camarata

Shoulder pain can interfere with almost everything you do — from reaching overhead, carrying groceries, or even sleeping comfortably. Many people assume shoulder pain will heal with time, but if yours hasn’t improved, there’s usually an underlying problem preventing recovery.

At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness in North Chili of Rochester NY, we help patients every day who are struggling with chronic or recurring shoulder pain. With SoftWave Therapy, a breakthrough in regenerative medicine, we can reduce pain, accelerate healing, and restore mobility — naturally and without surgery.


Why Shoulder Pain Persists

Rotator Cuff Tears and Strains

The rotator cuff muscles and tendons are crucial for shoulder stability and movement. Tears, strains, or overuse injuries often don’t fully heal on their own due to limited blood supply.

Bursitis and Inflammation

Inflammation of the bursa — fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joint — can cause persistent pain and stiffness, especially with overhead movements.

Impingement Syndrome

When tendons are pinched between bones during movement, it leads to ongoing irritation and pain, often worsening without treatment.

Arthritis and Degeneration

Shoulder arthritis gradually wears down cartilage, creating inflammation and “bone-on-bone” pain. Left untreated, arthritis often progresses and becomes more limiting over time.


What Is SoftWave Therapy for Shoulder Pain?

SoftWave Therapy uses advanced broad-focused electrohydraulic acoustic waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. It is non-invasive, non-surgical, and trusted by top clinics, colleges and professional sports teams — including those in the MLB, NFL, PGA.

At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, SoftWave Therapy is helping patients across Rochester find real relief from shoulder pain while avoiding risky injections or surgeries.

The Science Behind SoftWave for Shoulder Pain

SoftWave Therapy works at the cellular level by sending a broad, unfocused acoustic wave into the affected tissues. This creates a healing response that includes:

  • Stem Cell Activation & Migration – stimulating your body’s own repair cells

  • Neoangiogenesis (new blood vessel growth) – improving circulation for faster healing

  • Reduction of Inflammation – calming irritated tissues and nerves

  • Regeneration & Repair – repairing tendons, ligaments, and joint structures

  • Tissue Remodeling – strengthening the shoulder for long-term relief

Unlike temporary solutions like pain medications or cortisone injections, SoftWave actually stimulates tissue repair and regeneration, leading to lasting improvements.


Common Shoulder Conditions SoftWave Therapy Helps

We have seen incredible results treating shoulder pain in patients of all ages, including:

  • Rotator cuff tears and tendinitis (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, teres minor)

  • Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)

  • Bursitis and chronic inflammation

  • Impingement syndrome

  • Labrum injuries

  • Arthritis and degenerative joint disease

  • Post-surgical recovery and rehab


Why SoftWave Over Surgery or Injections?

Traditional treatments often mask pain rather than fix the problem. SoftWave is different:

  • No injections, no medications, no downtime

  • Stimulates natural healing instead of covering up symptoms

  • Helps avoid unnecessary rotator cuff or shoulder replacement surgeries

  • Used by professional athletes for faster recovery

Many patients at our Rochester, NY clinic report significant improvement in pain and mobility after just 6-8 weekly treatments on average, with results that last months and even years.
