Episode #2
Learn how to cure and relieve your chronic shoulder pain!
Chronic Shoulder Pain Is More Than Just a Rotator Cuff Problem
If you’ve been dealing with shoulder pain for months (or years) and nothing seems to work, you’re not alone. Many people go through physiotherapy, massage, chiropractic adjustments, injections, and even surgery—yet the pain keeps coming back.
The truth is, most shoulder pain isn’t just about your shoulder. It’s about how your entire body is functioning. At Unpain Clinic, we take a whole-body approach to pain, using cutting-edge treatments like Shockwave Therapy to break the cycle of chronic pain, restore movement, and help you avoid unnecessary surgery.
In this episode, Uran Berisha and Shauna dive deep into why shoulder pain lingers, why MRIs and X-rays don’t tell the full story, and how Shockwave Therapy is changing the game for chronic pain sufferers.
Why Shoulder Pain Treatments Fail
Many people believe that if their MRI or X-ray shows a rotator cuff tear, tendonitis, or a dislocated bicep tendon, then that must be the cause of their pain. But here’s the shocking truth—many people walk around with massive tears and have no pain at all, while others with minor injuries experience unbearable pain and loss of function.
If you’ve been told you have a rotator cuff tear and need surgery, it’s time to reconsider. Studies show that up to 40% of people have rotator cuff tears and don’t even know it because it’s not causing them pain. The real issue is often dysfunction in other areas of the body—not the tear itself.
The Common (And Failing) Approaches to Shoulder Pain
Most people start with painkillers or anti-inflammatories, which only mask the problem. When that doesn’t work, they try physiotherapy, massage, or chiropractic adjustments—which may help temporarily but don’t always provide lasting relief.
The next step is often cortisone injections, but these only block pain signals without fixing the actual dysfunction. Over time, repeated cortisone shots can even weaken your tissues, making the problem worse.
For those who continue to struggle, surgery becomes the last resort. But even after shoulder surgery, many people still have limited mobility, persistent pain, and the same underlying dysfunction that caused their pain in the first place.
The Hidden Causes of Chronic Shoulder Pain
At Unpain Clinic, we look beyond the obvious. If you’ve tried everything and nothing works, it’s time to consider the deeper causes of your pain:
The Unpain Clinic Solution: Shockwave Therapy + Whole-Body Treatment
If you’re tired of being stuck in pain and bouncing from one failed treatment to the next, it’s time to try something different. At Unpain Clinic, we combine:
One of our most powerful tools is Shockwave Therapy, which penetrates up to 12 cm deep into the tissues, reaching areas that hands, massage, or dry needling simply can’t.
Shockwave Therapy triggers angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth), stimulates stem cells for tissue repair, and restarts the body’s natural healing process. That’s why so many of our clients experience significant pain relief and improved mobility within just a few sessions.
Before You Consider Surgery, Try This First
Surgery should be the last resort—not the first option. If you’ve been told that surgery is your only choice, ask yourself:
Your Shoulder Pain Isn’t Permanent—You Just Need the Right Approach
If you’re still struggling with chronic shoulder pain, it’s time to stop chasing symptoms and start fixing the root cause. This episode breaks down exactly why traditional treatments fail and how a whole-body approach using Shockwave Therapy can get you out of pain—for good.
Listen now and discover how you can finally reclaim your movement, strength, and quality of life—without surgery, without painkillers, and without endless treatments that don’t work.
