Shoulder Pain Treatment in Greenville, SC
Shoulder Pain Treatment at IHP Greenville — expert acupuncture for chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues. Dr. Hendry, DAOM. Call (864) 365-6156.
Shoulder pain encompasses a wide spectrum of conditions — rotator cuff tears, impingement syndrome, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), shoulder bursitis, AC joint pathology, and referred pain from the cervical spine. At Integrative Health Partners, Dr. Hendry's shoulder pain protocol is tailored to the specific diagnosis, using acupuncture, dry needling, and electroacupuncture with anatomical precision for each condition type.
How Shoulder Pain Treatment Works
Shoulder pain treatment involves local acupuncture (LI15, TH14, SJ14 for rotator cuff; GB21 for upper trapezius; SI9, SI10 for posterior capsule) combined with dry needling of specific rotator cuff muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, teres minor). For frozen shoulder, a progressive protocol addresses capsular adhesions and inflammatory cycling. Distal points (LI4, LI11, ST38) are used for immediate pain relief during active range-of-motion assessment.
