Shoulder Rotator Cuff Tear Recovery & Pain Relief with SoftWave Therapy at DeBole Chiropractic in Farmington, NY

Shoulder pain can be debilitating—especially when it interferes with sleep, daily tasks, or your ability to lift, carry, or move freely. One of the most common culprits behind chronic shoulder pain is a rotator cuff tear.

At DeBole Chiropractic in Farmington, NY, Dr. Mike DeBole offers a powerful, non-surgical solution to rotator cuff injuries: SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy (TRT). This advanced, FDA-cleared technology is helping patients heal naturally, reduce pain, and avoid surgery or injections.

Understanding the Shoulder and the Rotator Cuff

Shoulder Anatomy 101

The shoulder is one of the most mobile—and most vulnerable—joints in the body. It’s made up of three bones:

  • Humerus (upper arm bone)

  • Scapula (shoulder blade)

  • Clavicle (collarbone)

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and their tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint and allow it to move in multiple directions.

The Four Rotator Cuff Muscles

  1. Supraspinatus – Assists with lifting the arm away from the body

  2. Infraspinatus – Helps rotate the shoulder outward

  3. Teres Minor – Aids in external rotation and shoulder stability

  4. Subscapularis – Allows internal rotation of the arm

These muscles work together to keep the head of the humerus centered in the socket of the shoulder during movement. When any of these tendons become torn or inflamed, function and mobility suffer.

Causes of Rotator Cuff Tears

  • Repetitive overhead motion (sports, weightlifting, or manual labor)

  • Sudden trauma or injury (falling on an outstretched arm or lifting something heavy)

  • Degeneration over time (wear-and-tear due to aging)

  • Poor posture or biomechanics

  • Previous shoulder injuries or instability

Symptoms of a Rotator Cuff Tear

  • Deep, aching pain in the shoulder

  • Pain that worsens at night or while lying on the injured side

  • Weakness when lifting or rotating the arm

  • Limited range of motion

  • Clicking or popping with movement

  • Difficulty reaching overhead or behind the back

Rotator cuff tears can be partial or full-thickness, and many people are told that surgery is the only answer. But there’s a better way.

SoftWave Therapy: A Non-Surgical Solution for Rotator Cuff Injuries

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy (TRT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses electrohydraulic acoustic waves to stimulate healing deep within shoulder muscles and tendons—without the need for cortisone injections, medication, or surgery.

These waves travel at over 3,000 mph and reach areas that are typically difficult to treat with conventional therapies. SoftWave is trusted by elite sports medicine clinics, military hospitals, and orthopedic specialists around the world.

How SoftWave Promotes Healing in Rotator Cuff Tears

SoftWave Therapy activates a cascade of biological responses that accelerate the repair of damaged tendons and surrounding soft tissues.

Key Healing Mechanisms Include:

  • VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor): Stimulates new blood vessel formation for improved oxygen and nutrient delivery

  • eNOS (Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase): Improves circulation and reduces oxidative stress

  • Neoangiogenesis: Promotes microcirculation in hypoxic, damaged tendon tissue

  • PCNA (Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen): Supports cellular regeneration and repair

  • Stem Cell Activation & Migration: Directs your body’s natural healing cells to the injured rotator cuff tendon

  • Toll-Like Receptors: Help regulate inflammation and immune response for proper healing

  • Senescent Cell Clearance: Removes non-functional, aging cells and makes way for new tissue growth

This regenerative response can help heal partial rotator cuff tears, tendinosis, chronic shoulder pain, and post-surgical recovery—naturally.

Why Patients Choose SoftWave at DeBole Chiropractic

Dr. Mike DeBole and his team have helped numerous patients with shoulder injuries:

  • Avoid rotator cuff surgery

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your first visit includes:
