Are you suffering from the debilitating effects of a rotator cuff injury?

Understanding Rotator Cuff Injuries:
Rotator cuff injuries are a prevalent source of shoulder pain and disability, affecting millions of individuals worldwide.
According to a study published in the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, rotator cuff tears are present in approximately 22% of adults over the age of 60, with prevalence increasing with age.
Most Common Cause of Rotator Cuff Injuries:
Overuse and Repetitive Motion: Activities that involve repeated overhead motions, such as swimming, tennis, or lifting, can strain the rotator cuff muscles and tendons over time, leading to wear and tear. This can result in inflammation, tears, or tendinitis.
Age-Related Degeneration: As people age, the tendons in the rotator cuff can naturally weaken, lose flexibility, and become more prone to injury. This age-related degeneration increases the risk of tears, especially in individuals over 40.

I highly recommend Balance for all your health and longevity goals. I had damaged muscle from a trauma injury that had not healed in three years and through Shockwave and Balance’s comprehensive treatment approach, healed the damaged region. They are extremely customized in their care and it is always a wonderful overall experience.
I was recommended to Balance medical from a local friend here in Colorado as we are visiting from Costa Rica. It was suggested that it may help to have a session in the hyperbaric chamber to help adjust to the altitude.
The entire experience was educational and professional with both Dr Jesi and her husband Dr Jason explaining the process step by step and not only the benefits of what to expect but how your body functions and why this process would help me to climatize to the altitude.
A great experience and can say it really worked for me I was experiencing a slight headache and just kind of worn out. After the one-hour session I was revitalized and had renewed energy and my headache was gone. I have been hiking and climbing since here in the mountains and feel great.
Thank you very much Dr. Jesi and Dr. Jason for your help and professionalism what a great team!
I recently had Dr Jess treat my plantar fasciitis with shock wave therapy. The results are amazing! I had 4-5 treatments about 2 weeks apart. The results are not immediate, but within a few days I had so much relief and after a few treatments the difference is incredible! SO worth it!
10 years ago I broke my leg in two places and had 14 pins, two plates and bone graphed into my tib/fib/ankle, and was told I would deal with arthritis for the rest of my life. Being extremely active in sports, weight lifting, and with my profession I found that movement helped but was almost counter intuitive. I lost nearly 75% range of motion in the joint and became limited in certain abilities in addition to consistent discomfort. I'm now 4 months out from receiving PRP and cellular therapy from Jason, and i have seen a significant improvement in my ability to not only move the joint with gained ROM, but pain and discomfort is nearly non existent after strenuous activities. I used to wake up and find it hard to take the first few steps, which is no longer an issue. I highly recommend considering this treatment to anyone looking to either gain an advantage on maintaining a active lifestyle or simply live day to day with less pain.
Advanced Diagnostics at Balance Medical Integration:
X-ray Imaging: Our advanced x-ray technology allows us to closely examine the bones and structures surrounding your shoulder joint, helping identify fractures, bone spurs, or other abnormalities that could be contributing to rotator cuff pain or injury.
Ultrasound Diagnostics: Using high-resolution ultrasound imaging, we can visualize the soft tissues of your shoulder, including tendons and muscles. This enables us to detect tears, inflammation, or any damage to the rotator cuff that may be causing pain or limiting mobility.
Hands-On Evaluation: Our experienced healthcare professionals perform thorough hands-on evaluations to assess shoulder stability, range of motion, and areas of tenderness. This allows us to pinpoint the exact cause of your rotator cuff injury and design a personalized treatment plan to promote healing and restore function.
Innovative Treatments for Rotator Cuff Injuries:
Shockwave Therapy:
Clinical studies have shown promising results for the use of shockwave therapy in treating rotator cuff injuries. A systematic review published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine concluded that shockwave therapy was effective in reducing pain and improving function in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy.
At Balance Medical Integration, our shockwave therapy treatments target the affected shoulder joint, promoting tissue repair, and reducing inflammation to alleviate pain and enhance healing.
Chiropractic Care:
Research suggests that chiropractic adjustments may be beneficial for individuals with rotator cuff injuries. A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics reported improvements in shoulder pain and function following chiropractic treatment in patients with rotator cuff pathology.
Our experienced chiropractors utilize gentle, targeted adjustments to realign the spine and shoulder joint, relieving pressure on the rotator cuff and facilitating healing.
Soft TIssue Mobilization:
Soft tissue mobilization techniques, such as massage therapy and myofascial release, can help alleviate pain and improve range of motion in individuals with rotator cuff injuries. A randomized controlled trial published in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy demonstrated the efficacy of soft tissue mobilization in reducing pain and improving shoulder function in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy.
At Balance Medical Integration, our skilled therapists employ specialized techniques to address muscular imbalances, release tension, and promote healing in the shoulder joint.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy:
Clinical evidence suggests that PRP therapy may offer benefits for individuals with rotator cuff injuries by promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation. A meta-analysis published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that PRP injections were associated with significant improvements in pain and function in patients with rotator cuff tears.
Our PRP therapy treatments utilize concentrated platelets from the patient's own blood to stimulate healing and accelerate recovery in the injured rotator cuff.
Stem Cell Injections:
Emerging research supports the use of stem cell therapy for the treatment of rotator cuff injuries. A study published in Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic & Related Surgery reported favorable outcomes in patients treated with mesenchymal stem cell injections for rotator cuff tears, with improvements in pain, function, and structural integrity observed.
At Balance Medical Integration, we offer advanced stem cell therapy options to promote tissue regeneration and repair in the damaged rotator cuff, providing long-term relief for individuals with chronic shoulder pain.
