I met Joe, a 43 year old male, who suffered from bilateral (both) shoulder pain for 2 years. He had tried trigger point injections, botox injections, radiofrequency ablations (burning of the nerves), and even surgery, all without relief.
I started Joe’s treatments with photobiomodulation (also known as low level laser therapy) with resultant 50% relief in pain. Then, I treated specific muscles I identified as a source of pain – Serratus Anterior, Subscapularis, Latissimus Dorsi, and Levator Scapula – with muscle-tendon injections followed by three days of physical therapy.
I followed Joe for six months following the end of the treatment. Joe’s pain went from an 8/10 to a 1/10, and he reported no interference in his activities of daily living. He was even able to resume running, and stopped all pain medications without any return of his pain.
