Relieve Overhead Shoulder Pain Naturally with Dr. Jeremiah Jimerson's SoftWave Therapy in Charleston

Published April 24th, 2025 by Dr. Jeremiah Jimerson

Struggling with sharp or nagging shoulder pain every time you reach overhead? Whether you’re lifting groceries, reaching for high shelves, or staying active with your favorite sport, overhead movements shouldn’t come with discomfort or limitation. When they do, it often means something deeper is going on inside your shoulder.

At Dr. Jeremiah Jimerson’s office in Charleston, we offer a groundbreaking, non-invasive solution designed to not only ease your pain but address the root cause. Through SoftWave Therapy, we help people just like you find real relief and lasting healing without drugs or surgery.

Why Overhead Shoulder Pain Happens

The shoulder is a complex joint, and pain during overhead motion often stems from inflammation, irritation, or soft tissue damage. Some of the most common causes we see in our Charleston practice include:

  • Shoulder Impingement
  • Rotator Cuff Tendonitis or Partial Tears
  • Labral Tears
  • Biceps Tendon Inflammation
  • AC Joint Dysfunction or Arthritis
  • Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)

Left untreated, these issues can worsen over time, further restricting motion and increasing discomfort. While traditional options like pain medications or steroid injections provide temporary relief, they don’t support your body’s ability to heal naturally.

A Better Approach: SoftWave Therapy in Charleston

Dr. Jimerson offers SoftWave Therapy — an advanced regenerative technology using electrohydraulic acoustic waves to stimulate deep healing within your shoulder tissues. Through a process called mechanotransduction, SoftWave helps the body restart its natural healing processes by improving blood flow, breaking up scar tissue, and reducing inflammation.

Benefits of SoftWave Therapy for Overhead Shoulder Pain:

  • Reduces pain and inflammation naturally
  • Activates and mobilizes stem cells
  • Stimulates new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis)
  • Breaks down scar tissue and adhesions
  • Restores flexibility and shoulder mobility

Most importantly, SoftWave Therapy is completely non-invasive, drug-free, and requires no downtime — so you can get back to your life quickly and safely.

What to Expect with Dr. Jimerson

Every journey to pain relief starts with a thorough consultation. Dr. Jimerson will carefully assess your shoulder function, mobility, and pinpoint where the pain originates. During your first appointment, you’ll experience our Discovery Day, where we use SoftWave to locate "hot spots" of pain and inflammation in real time.

This mapping session allows us to customize your SoftWave treatment to deliver maximum impact where your body needs it most.

Typical SoftWave Treatment Timeline:

  • Initial relief often noticed within 1-3 visits
  • Deep healing continues over 6-8 sessions
  • Chronic or advanced cases may require 8-12 treatments

The healing continues long after your sessions are complete, as SoftWave stimulates long-term cellular repair that can keep improving for weeks or months after care.
