PRP Treatments & Regenerative Cell Therapy for
Shoulder Injuries

Stop the pain, frustration and dysfunction without surgery and start living better today.

SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION

If you’re suffering from a shoulder injury, you’re not alone. After knee injuries, shoulder issues are the most common among active adults.

We understand how damage to this joint and the structures that surround it can make the activities you enjoy painful or simply impossible. Thankfully, targeted regenerative cell and PRP shoulder injections can heal tears and degenerative damage without the pain or hassle of surgery.

Commonly Treated Shoulder Injuries

  • Rotator Cuff Tears
  • Rotator Cuff Tendinitis and Tendonitis
  • Arthritis of the Shoulder Joint
  • Labral Tears or Degeneration
  • AC Joint Separation
  • Recurrent Shoulder Dislocations

Alternatives To Shoulder Surgery

Recovering from shoulder surgery can be a long and painful process. Fortunately for many shoulder injuries, there are non-invasive treatment options that can help get you back to the everyday activities you love – quickly.

PRP injections and regenerative cell therapy for shoulders may provide a better alternative to surgery with shorter recovery and longer-lasting results.

A Better Solution For Rotator Cuff Tears

Rotator cuff injuries are usually complex, degenerative tears. Unlike a clean cut made by scissors, rotator cuff tears tend to be a collection of multiple cracks and tears – similar to rotten shoe leather. Surgery for these tears can have a long recovery and may ultimately fail because the tendon is still brittle or “rotten.”

Many shoulder injuries like these lend themselves perfectly to customized biologics treatments that actually make the tendon stronger. With guided regenerative cellular therapy and PRP injections, we are able to use the reparative cells from your own body to target the damaged tissue and initiate an inflammatory response. By doing so, the natural healing process goes into overdrive and helps your body’s biological repairmen do what they do best – heal your injury naturally.

Regenerative Cell and PRP Therapy Helps Grandpa Play Catch Again

An unfortunate rotator cuff injury had this Utah news anchor and grandfather on the path to surgery. After receiving a recommendation from a previous patient, he instead scheduled a consultation with Dr. Albano. Three months later, he regained full range of motion and was back playing catch with his grandchildren.

FAQs

What is the difference between regenerative cellular therapy and PRP (platelet rich plasma) treatments? Expand

Regenerative cells are usually harvested from a patient’s healthy bone marrow. To harvest PRP, we draw your blood and then concentrate the platelets. We then precisely inject the regenerative cells and concentrated platelets into the damaged area, and both biologics go to work to help repair the damaged tissues.

We typically use both regenerative cells and PRP when treating patients. However, there are times when we use just PRP. Every treatment plan varies according to the individual needs of our patients.

Where exactly are these regenerative cells obtained? Expand

Bone marrow is a good source for regenerative cells and we like to use this type of tissue to help heal

There are many living regenerative cells in these tissues. There are also many healthy growth factors that boost your body’s natural healing mechanisms.

What can affect the results of regenerative cell therapy? Expand

For years, the medical establishment has put an emphasis on reducing inflammation and has employed liberal use of anti-inflammatory drugs, usually in the form of NSAIDs, like ibuprofen and naproxen, or steroids. We now know that inhibiting your body’s natural inflammatory response prevents repair cells from reaching your injury.

Reliance on NSAIDs can actually cause further injury by masking pain and allowing further damage to injured tissues. Our targeted biologics treatments are designed to do the opposite of overused NSAIDs. These treatments don't block inflammation - instead, they provoke a healing inflammatory response to increase the number of repair cells in the injured area.

We highly stress that you do not use NSAIDs during your recovery process.
In addition, smoking significantly hinders your body’s healing response. To achieve the best possible outcome from your procedure, it is best to discontinue smoking six months prior to your procedure.
