OFF THE SHOULDER

Joanna Johnson’s game-changing guide, Off the Shoulder: Yes, It’s Possible to Heal a Broken Shoulder Without Surgery, features information and research on options for regaining full shoulder capacity after a potentially life-altering injury. For much of the 20th and 21st centuries, many medical industry practitioners have recommended surgery for broken shoulders without first giving serious consideration to the injured individual’s capacity to heal, their potential allergic reaction to the implanted materials used in shoulder surgery, or the efficacy of a combination of related therapies such as physical therapy with fascia needling, cranio-sacral therapy, no-twist chiropractic, targeted stretching and exercise, and emotional stress reduction. Joanna found out about that the hard way after a fluke running accident sent her to the local hospital ER where she was catapulted into the surgery-skewed world of broken shoulder management. As an attorney with a lifetime of healthcare research and advocacy experience, she was able to obtain the critical information and healthcare assistance necessary to discover an alternate path to regaining 100% shoulder function.
