Still Hurting After Breast Surgery? There’s a Reason It Hasn’t Stopped.

The tightness that won’t let go. The burning, the pulling, the shoulder that won’t move the way it used to. You’re not imagining it, and you’re not a lost cause.

We don’t just treat the painful spot.

We assess your shoulder, chest wall, fascia, and nerve function to find out exactly what’s driving your symptoms.

Focused shockwave targets scar tissue directly.

It breaks up the adhesions other treatments can’t reach, combined with guided rehab to rebuild what surgery took.

Your recovery doesn’t end at the clinic door.

Progressive strengthening and aftercare keep your gains long after treatment wraps up.

60-minute one-on-one assessment + treatment plan.

No pressure, no contracts.

Is This You?

If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.

Persistent tightness, burning, or pulling in your chest or underarm that hasn’t faded since surgery

Shoulder pain or stiffness that makes reaching overhead or dressing painful

Arm swelling or heaviness that started after lymph node removal

Numbness, tingling, or “nerve zaps” around your scar that won’t quit

You’ve tried physio, massage, and medications but nothing has given you lasting relief, and you want real answers before considering another procedure

The Real Problem

Why Your Chest and Shoulder Still Hurt After “Trying Everything”

Most people have several of these happening at once. That’s why we assess the whole chain, from your chest wall and scar tissue to your shoulder, nerve function, and posture, not just the painful spot.

OUR APPROACH

The Unpain 3-Part Breast Surgeries, Including Augmentations or Reconstructions Relief Program

INITIAL VISIT

Whole-Body Root-Cause Assessment

Assess your scar tissue, shoulder mobility, chest wall restriction, and nerve sensitivity

Identify which combination of adhesions, nerve injury, lymphatic disruption, and muscle imbalance is driving your specific symptoms

Leave with a written treatment plan and transparent pricing before you commit to anything

First 3 to 5 Weeks

Scar Tissue & Pain Modulation

Focused shockwave therapy targets scar adhesions directly, breaking up dense collagen bands and stimulating new blood vessel growth in the tissue

Manual therapy and guided stretching to restore tissue glide through the chest wall and shoulder

Physiotherapy to begin reclaiming range of motion in a controlled, progressive way

Make dressing, reaching, and sleeping on your side tolerable, fast.

5+ Weeks and Beyond

Strength & Progressive Aftercare

Progressive strengthening for chest wall, shoulder stabilizers, and postural muscles

Mobility training to keep scar tissue from re-forming and locking down again

Ongoing support and monitoring so your gains stick for the long term

What To Expect

What Results Can I Expect?

Every case is different, but research and our clinical experience consistently show:

Meaningful pain relief within the first 3 to 5 sessions. Many patients feel meaningful pain relief within the first 3 to 5 sessions, with continued improvement over the following weeks as scar tissue remodels.

Improved shoulder range of motion and reduced tightness. Everyday tasks like dressing, sleeping comfortably, and reaching overhead become possible again.

Benefits that persist at 3 to 5 months after treatment. Studies show lasting improvement rather than temporary masking of symptoms.

Our promise: we will tell you honestly at the assessment if we don’t believe you’re a good candidate for this approach.

EVIDENCE

The Research Behind Our Approach

Shockwave therapy has been shown to remodel scar tissue by reducing fibrotic proteins and promoting new blood vessel growth in laboratory and clinical studies.

A randomized trial found shockwave significantly reduced arm swelling and improved shoulder mobility in breast cancer survivors with lymphedema.

A controlled trial in frozen shoulder patients showed significantly better pain and function scores with shockwave compared to placebo at 5-month follow-up.

Published reviews support shockwave’s ability to stimulate nerve regeneration in injured peripheral nerves, consistent with post-surgical nerve recovery.

Follow-up measurements at 3 months show treatment benefits persist, indicating lasting improvement beyond the active treatment period.

Outcomes are group averages from clinical trials; individual results vary.
