Do you suffer
from shoulder
pain?
We offer a unique fusion of modern biotechnology, physical therapy, massage therapy, and chiropractic care to treat your problem shoulder and get you back to living your best possible life.
Do you suffer from shoulder pain? Does it make brushing your hair or opening a window difficult? A lot of people develop shoulder issues as they age. Whether caused by osteoarthritis or something else, an issue in the shoulders can drastically impact your quality of life. But don’t be alarmed.
We can help. Better Health Alaska now has a 10 Point Shoulder Renewal Program incorporating multiple techniques, protocols and therapies to treat painful shoulders.
Our 12-Point System combines:
Your INITIAL Exam and Consultation
– We perform an in-depth examination to properly diagnose your condition. If necessary, we can use X-rays and other imaging technologies (MRIs, diagnostic ultrasound, etc…) to get an internal picture of your shoulder. Using this information, we can build a blueprint for the path ahead.
Your Own Personalized TREATMENT PLAN
– We use the information gained from the consultation and imaging session to carefully construct a customized treatment plan just for you. We have a large number of treatment options to choose from. We carefully select the ones which suit you best.
A Sturdy STATE-OF-THE-ART TAKE-HOME Brace
– We furnish you with a well-built take-home brace fashioned with the most modern advancements available. Designed to give biomechanical support, this device will keep your shoulder in proper alignment while you retrain both the shoulder joint itself and the muscles in the surrounding areas. This will keep you from reverting to your former unhealthy patterns.
STAGE 2
ACOUSTIC WAVE Therapy
– By carefully applying pressure to the muscles and tissues of the shoulder region, a trained therapist can reduce both inflammation and pain while increasing range of motion and internal healing within the shoulder and those self same tissues surrounding it
Our Proprietary REGENERATIVE MEDICINE Protocol
– We use the latest advances in natural medicine to regenerate and restore as much of the shoulder’s natural condition as we can. Then we incorporate advanced bio-technologies like human cellular tissue implants, PRP injections or even just local anesthetics. We make sure these injections go to the right place for maximum effect.
Supportive “CUSHIONING” Therapies, such as Hyaluronic Acid Injections
– Shoulder pain and dysfunction is frequently the result of low-levels or the lack of a protective, “cushioning” gel-like fluid known as hyaluronic acid (HA). Fortunately, replacing HA can be done with a series of minimally-invasive joint injections that effectively lubricate and lessen pain in the joint.
Our “SHOULDER RENEWAL Rehab Protocol”
– In chiropractic therapy a highly-trained chiropractor applies pressure with his hands to manipulate the position of critical bones. These chiropractic adjustments help eliminate joint stiffness and help reposition joints that have shifted out of alignment. This not only improves posture, it can reduce pain. In the case of the shoulder, the manipulated areas generally include the shoulder itself as well as the upper back and neck..
MANUAL Therapy
– By carefully applying pressure to the muscles and tissues of the shoulder region, a trained therapist can reduce both inflammation and pain while increasing range of motion and internal healing within the shoulder and those self same tissues surrounding it.
ULTRASONIC WAVE Therapy
– We use ultrasonic waves directed at the shoulder joint, and the tissues around it, to reduce inflammation and pain in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. By using the appropriate techniques, we can use ultrasound therapy to help heal damaged tissues.
Precision CHIROPRACTIC Therapy
– In chiropractic therapy a highly-trained chiropractor applies pressure with his hands to manipulate the position of critical bones. These chiropractic adjustments help eliminate joint stiffness and help reposition joints that have shifted out of alignment. This not only improves posture, it can reduce pain. In the case of the shoulder, the manipulated areas generally include the shoulder itself as well as the upper back and neck..
A Customized AFTERCARE PLAN
– After completing the Program, you’ll want to maintain your gains. So, for the final step, we construct a detailed aftercare plan. Normally, this consists of ongoing chiropractic care, and physical therapy. We might also include some home exercises if needed. Incorporating these into your routine will keep your shoulder healthy and strong
Prescribed HOME EXERCISE Routines
– One of our qualified physicians/therapists will prescribe a series of home exercises for you to do. By strengthening the muscles surrounding the shoulder and other crucial areas, these exercises will promote better posture, less pain, and the stability and positioning of the newly-adjusted shoulder bones.
