Are You Struggling With Shoulder Pain In The Union, NJ Area?
"Have you tried everything to fix shoulder pain and stiffness, but feel let down?"
A Message From Andrew, Owner & Founder of Progressive Edge Physical Therapy
Dear Frustrated Reader With Shoulder Pain and Stiffness,
- Are you worried about shoulder pain & stiffness that doesn’t go away no matter what you do?
- Are you frustrated that other treatments like stretching or using ice and heat haven’t worked?
- Are you having trouble keeping up with your workouts and feel like you're missing out on the life you want?
- Are you still looking for a long-term solution so you can get back to the activities you love?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, you are in the right place!
Many people in Union suffer unnecessarily with shoulder pain and stiffness because they’re told…
- Just “rest” and it’ll be fine (then months later they’re still suffering…)
- It’s “normal” with age or with working out.
- If you take some pain pills everything will be fine.
- Surgery is the only option.
The Truth Is...
- Resting it doesn’t change anything. You might get a small temporary relief, but then when you get active again you’ll still be suffering from shoulder pain and stiffness (I bet you’ve already experienced it!)
- It's not normal to get shoulder pain and stiffness as you get older or with any workouts!
- Painkillers are addicting, dangerous, and can cause a lot of other problems with your body.
- Surgery is not the only option. It's just the only option your surgeon can offer you.
At Progressive Edge Physical Therapy, we help people overcome aches and pain so they can return to the activities they love.
It can be very confusing to decide exactly what you should do if you have shoulder pain and stiffness. You’ve likely heard a lot of options such as…
- A family member tells you to try ice or heat
- A colleague mentions going to a chiropractor
- The “experts” on YouTube recommend doing a certain exercise
- A friend suggests trying a yoga class
- All while the doctor tells you to rest and take some pain pills
It’s overwhelming to try to make a decision with all these choices… what will happen if you don’t make the right one?
Most people get stuck trying to make a decision about what to do next. They go days, weeks, months (even years!) without taking action.
You must choose the right provider for your health. If you don’t, you could end up getting dangerous surgery (when it was unnecessary) or being dependent on addicting painkillers the rest of your life.
Getting the “least-invasive”, most natural treatment is VITAL to you stopping your shoulder pain and keeping it from ever coming back.
To do that, you have to not just treat the pain, but have a provider who is willing to figure out WHY the pain happened in the first place. That’s when you’ll get a PERMANENT solution to your problems.
At Progressive Edge Physical Therapy we’ve created a 3-step process to get rid of your pain AND make sure it doesn’t come back again.
Step #1 - We Want to Listen to Your Story
Our medical system is frustrating. You wait weeks, sometimes months, for an appointment, only to get to talk to the doctors for 10 minutes before they have to run to the next patient and you’re left sitting there wondering, “What just happened?”
Even most physical therapy clinics operate this way. They’re not attentive, they’re fast-paced, and your therapist doesn’t have time to actually touch where you hurt.
This is why our first step is to listen to your story.
After working with lots of people with shoulder pain and stiffness, we know that no two people are alike. Each person has a different body, a different history, and different types of pain.
That is why our first step is to have an open conversation and time for you to tell your story. That way we get a deep understanding of what’s going on not just with your body, but also how it’s impacting your life.
Step #2 - Find Out WHY YOUR shoulder Pain Started
Many people have a diagnosis, or medical term for what’s going on with their body. Maybe their doctor gave it to them, maybe test rests showed the diagnosis, or maybe you found it online.
You could have been told that your only choice was to rest, take some pills, or have surgery.
Sometimes, those things bring temporarily relief, but they’re not addressing what CAUSED the problem in the first place.
Every person’s cause of shoulder pain is different. No one has the exact same problem caused by the exact same thing as another person.
Our goal at Progressive Edge Physical Therapy is to find that original cause of your pain, so not only does your shoulder pain go away, it STAYS AWAY!
Step #3 - Get Rid Of The Pain & Keep It From Coming Back
This is when the big transformations occur. We develop a personalized plan that allows you to…
…Get back to exercising without fear of the pain coming back
…Be able to get back to your workouts and get back to your life
…Get back to your pre-injury lifestyle you love
Our best clients are those who are motivated and ready to win back their active lifestyle. (Even if they feel stuck right now!)
Want to know more about our insurance coverage before making any commitment to coming in?
You don’t have to sacrifice the lifestyle you want over problems that can be fixed.
Sincerely,
Andrew
