Understanding FLCC Tears and the Healing Potential of SoftWave TRT at Enos Chiropractic Center

Published November 17th, 2024 by Drenos

What Are FLCC Tears?

A Fibrocartilaginous Labral Chondral Complex (FLCC) tear affects a specific type of tissue found in joints like the shoulder and hip. This complex structure helps stabilize the joint, providing both strength and flexibility. When torn, however, it can lead to persistent pain, instability, and limited range of motion. FLCC tears often occur from trauma, repetitive stress, or age-related degeneration, and are common in athletes or individuals engaged in high-impact activities.

Symptoms of an FLCC Tear

Individuals with an FLCC tear may experience:

  • Sharp pain during specific movements
  • Joint instability or the feeling of "giving out"
  • Limited mobility or stiffness
  • Clicking or popping sounds in the joint
  • Swelling or tenderness around the affected area

These symptoms can significantly impact daily life and make even routine tasks challenging.

Traditional Approaches to FLCC Tear Treatment

Treating FLCC tears can be complex, as these tears do not heal on their own due to limited blood supply in the affected area. Traditional treatment approaches range from physical therapy and corticosteroid injections to surgery in severe cases. However, many of these methods focus on symptom relief rather than addressing the root of the issue, and surgery often requires long recovery times and may come with risks.

SoftWave TRT: A Non-Invasive Alternative

At Enos Chiropractic Center, we’re proud to offer SoftWave Tissue Regenerative Therapy (TRT) as a non-invasive option to support healing from FLCC tears. SoftWave TRT uses patented shockwave technology to promote healing at the cellular level. By delivering acoustic waves to the damaged tissue, SoftWave TRT helps stimulate:

  • Improved blood flow and circulation
  • Increased collagen production, aiding tissue repair
  • Reduced inflammation, which relieves pain and swelling

How SoftWave TRT Works for FLCC Tears

SoftWave TRT initiates a natural healing response in the body by stimulating stem cell activity and releasing growth factors. For FLCC tears, this means potential relief from pain and enhanced tissue repair, without the need for invasive procedures.

Sessions are short, with most patients noticing improvement within just a few visits. SoftWave TRT is also highly versatile, making it effective for treating various conditions associated with joint injuries and degenerative tissue issues.

Benefits of Choosing SoftWave TRT for FLCC Tears

  1. Non-Surgical: No downtime, minimal side effects, and no anesthesia needed.
  2. Effective Pain Relief: Reduces discomfort associated with FLCC tears, helping you regain mobility and function.
  3. Natural Healing: SoftWave TRT activates your body’s own repair mechanisms, avoiding reliance on medications.
