The Gold Standard Frozen Shoulder Treatment in Davis, CA
If you’re dealing with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), you already know this isn’t normal shoulder pain.
​
-
Reaching overhead is difficult
-
Getting dressed or fastening a seatbelt hurts
-
Your shoulder feels tight, stuck, and weak
-
Stretching hasn’t helped — and sometimes makes it worse
-
The pain may even wake you up at night
Frozen shoulder is not just inflammation. It’s a condition where the joint capsule thickens and tightens, limiting motion and creating persistent pain.
At Scriven Chiropractic, we focus on helping the shoulder move again — without injections or surgery.
Shockwave Therapy is a modern, non-invasive treatment designed to:
✔ Stimulate circulation in stiff, restricted tissue
✔ Reduce chronic pain signals
✔ Improve tissue elasticity
✔ Help restore normal shoulder movement
✔ Make rehab exercises more effective
Rather than forcing the shoulder to move, this approach helps create the conditions that allow motion to return more comfortably.
Treatment sessions are short, targeted, and require no downtime.
​
What Makes Our Approach Different
We don’t rely on just one method.
Your care plan may include:
-
Shockwave therapy to address chronic tissue restriction
-
Gentle mobility work tailored to your stage of healing
-
Targeted exercises to rebuild shoulder control
-
Guidance to avoid movements that slow recovery
The goal is simple:
Reduce pain → Restore motion → Help you return to normal use of your arm.
Who Is a Good Candidate for This Treatment?
You may benefit if:
-
Your shoulder has been stiff for several weeks or months
-
You cannot lift or rotate your arm normally
-
Physical therapy alone hasn’t solved the problem
-
