Shoulder Rotator Cuff pain and stiffness

Case Study: Treating Rotator Cuff Pain and Stiffness with coMra Therapy

Pauline Lipman-Tojon, a representative for Radiant Life Technologies in Medellín, Colombia, presents a compelling case study regarding the treatment of chronic rotator cuff pain and stiffness using coMra therapy.

The patient, Agustín, is a 50-year-old arts professor at a public university. Years prior, he sustained an injury to his left shoulder while carrying his daughter for extended periods, which resulted in cumulative degradation of the rotator cuff. His primary symptoms included constant mild-to-moderate pain, which escalated to severe pain whenever he reached the threshold of his range of motion. Additionally, he experienced referred pain down his arm and significant restriction in shoulder mobility.

For the first six months following the injury, Agustín attended physiotherapy three times a week; however, the prescribed exercises only served to exacerbate his pain. As he prefers to avoid pharmaceutical pain medication, he sought an alternative approach and turned to coMra therapy.

The Treatment Protocol

Agustín treated himself daily, focusing on three specific points on the shoulder, as well as three points where the pain was being reflected in his arm. For each of these points, he applied coMra therapy at 5 Hz and 50 Hz for two minutes per frequency, three times a day.

In addition to the localized treatment, Agustín followed the Universal 3 protocol. As explained in previous coMra sessions, Universal 3 provides essential blood irradiation to offer general support to the body’s systemic healing capacity.

For his treatment, Agustín utilized the Delta 980 laser. His initial regimen consisted of three 15-day courses, spanning a month and a half. Following this, he transitioned to one course per month for the next five months. During this maintenance phase, he reduced the frequency of his sessions to once daily, eventually moving to every other day to provide ongoing support to the shoulder.

Results and Recovery

The healing process was significant. After the first 15-day course, Agustín experienced an impressive 90% improvement in his pain levels, while his range of motion improved by approximately 40%. The pain associated with movement decreased in direct proportion to his regained mobility.

After one month of treatment, Agustín was entirely free of constant pain. By the six-month mark, his range of motion had improved by 80%, with a corresponding reduction in movement-related pain.

Today, two years after the initial injury, Agustín is fully healed and remains pain-free. He continues to engage in physiotherapy to further strengthen his shoulder, supported by the foundational recovery achieved through coMra therapy.
