    Re: Shoulder Muscle & Tendon Tear - Left Adhesive Capsulitis

    question:

    Did you have ultrasound therapy to increase healing around the tendons?

    The easy answer is surgery is a big indication here. However i would seek a ultrasound examination first to confirm some of the findings.

    Saying that, you could try shock wave therapy to accelerate the tendon repair while immobilise for 1 month. I have had great success with this protocol but you do have a lot going on - prognosis would be better if we had either ultrasound to confirm soft tissues involved or even X ray to see positioning and instability measurements. Traditional techniques wont work - sorry.

    also even if the shock wave reduces pain you will still be unstable and will have to limit movement and activities. meaning that almost any activity you would have to invest in good strap.

    degeneration has also started and is likely to progress which may cause more pain in some time to come.

    does that help?
