That’s why Dr. Chris Bock, of the Pain-FREE Shoulder Clinic, has opened a second location in Lagos — to help those in the western Algarve get the shoulder care they need quickly.

Finding a clinic in the city can be challenging, so Dr. Bock has partnered with GoDental Clinic in Lagos. Located at the main Lagos roundabout — the “Boat Fountain” roundabout — GoDental Clinic is easy to find, right at street level next to the giant colored pencils. Free parking is available all around.

Dr. Bock offers a Free Consultation that provides a proper diagnosis of your shoulder problem. During your consultation, you can experience the first step of his “100 percent Shoulder Treatment,” which is now strongly recommended by The LANCET and the British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM).

Unfortunately, conventional care only “does something” for about three to five hours a week while you’re in a clinic — just 2 percent of the week. For the remaining 98 percent of the time or 163 hours, your shoulder is vulnerable to repetitive re-injury. This is why 50 percent of patients will still have a problem after more than one year — ouch! No wonder shoulder problems take so long to resolve.

According to The LANCET and BJSM, traditional treatments such as laser therapy, exercise, ultrasound, massage, and shockwave therapy offer limited benefits because they do not prevent the repetitive re-injury of your shoulder when you are away from the clinic. Whether you are sleeping, working, practicing yoga or Pilates, playing golf, tennis, or padel, washing the dishes, gardening, swimming, or driving, any pain, discomfort, or stiffness in your shoulder is likely the result of re-injury occurring hundreds of times a day and night — both in small and significant ways. Rapid shoulder recovery is achieved by stopping re-injury 100 percent of the time — while you go about your life.

Dr. Bock, who first developed the “100 percent Shoulder Treatment” while serving as an Olympic doctor at the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympic Games, has designed a completely pain-free treatment that works every minute, every hour, 100 percent of the time. It’s simple and easy to do, and it works while you go about your day. Most common shoulder problems, 97 percent can be resolved in just three treatments — in as little as two weeks! An increasing number of published studies now recommend that medical practitioners shift their focus to helping patients care for their shoulders at home. Home shoulder care is the future of advanced treatment.
