ANN ARBOR, Mich. - s4story -- Does your shoulder hurt when you reach overhead?

Is there pain in your shoulder when you lift things?

Maybe you're even in pain sleeping on your side?

Shoulder pain and rotator cuff injuries can make even simple uncomfortable or painful. When shoulder pain becomes chronic, it's often because the injured tissues aren't getting the blood flow and stimulation they need to fully heal.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) (https://www.pivotalchiropractic.com/extracorpor...) is an effective, non-invasive treatment option that helps jump-start healing in stubborn shoulder and rotator cuff conditions.

Why Rotator Cuff Pain Can Be Slow to Heal

The rotator cuff is made up of four small but critical muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. These tendons are especially vulnerable to:

• Repetitive strain or overuse
• Poor blood supply
• Scar tissue buildup
• Chronic inflammation

Because of this, rotator cuff injuries often linger — even after rest, medication, or basic therapy. ESWT targets these underlying healing challenges rather than simply masking pain.
