As the primary male hormone, testosterone is vital to a wide range of functions in a man’s body. It’s normal for levels of production to decline with age, and for most men it’s not an issue. For a few, though, it can mean a loss of drive and energy.
Shoulder pain is the #1 sports injury we see in our office. These patients have usually had shoulder issues for a long period of time and have exhausted their options for relief. They may have gotten some improvement here and there but they have mainly “learned to live with it.”
Our experience with shoulder pain has helped us develop a system that not only decreases shoulder pain but heals the injury, allowing our patients to return to CrossFit with a stronger, pain-free shoulder.
The graphic above helps illustrate the differences between two different approaches to shoulder pain. Although both get results they are not created equal. Here are a few highlights:
28 days until treatment is even started
70 days until treatment is completed
Treatment may decrease pain but will not heal a tear (common in rotator cuff injuries)
Higher chance for re-injury
At least 18 visits to the doctor(s) and 1 trip to get an MRI
Can lead to surgery if PT is unsuccessful
Approximately 5 days before long-lasting therapy is started
Average of 2 weeks for 50% pain reduction
Average of 30 days to return to activity
Tear is also healed
Significantly decreased chance of re-injury
Approximately 4 visits including in-house imaging with ultrasound
90.5% of patients return to full activity without pain while another 6% have an 80% decrease in pain
