Shoulder Injuries

Relief for shoulder pain without surgery.

From everyday movement to athletic performance, shoulder injuries can hold you back from the activities you love. At the Albano Clinic, we use regenerative orthopedics — including PRP and regenerative cell therapy — to help your body heal naturally, so you can move freely without the risks and downtime of surgery.

Why Shoulder Pain Matters

The shoulder is the most flexible joint in the body — and also one of the most vulnerable. Whether from sports, work, or everyday wear-and-tear, damage to the rotator cuff, labrum, tendons, or cartilage can make even simple movements painful. Left untreated, these injuries can worsen over time and limit your lifestyle.

Common Shoulder Injuries We Treat

•  Rotator cuff tears and tendinitis
•  Shoulder arthritis
•  Labral tears or degeneration
•  Acromioclavicular (AC) joint separation
•  Recurrent shoulder dislocations
•  Overuse and throwing-related injuries

A Smarter Alternative to Shoulder Surgery

Traditional shoulder surgeries often involve long, painful recovery and may not fully restore strength or function — especially with degenerative tendon tears. At the Albano Clinic, we offer a different path:

•  Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Concentrates your body’s growth factors to accelerate healing.
•  Regenerative Cell Therapy: Uses your own reparative cells to strengthen injured tissue and stimulate repair.
•  Whole-Body Approach: We also look at biomechanics, load, and lifestyle factors to support long-term recovery.

These treatments are designed to reduce pain, improve stability, and restore motion — without invasive surgery.

Spotlight: Rotator Cuff Injuries

Rotator cuff tears are among the most common shoulder injuries we see. But unlike a clean cut, most tears are degenerative — more like worn-out fabric than a single rip. Surgery often struggles to repair these fragile tissues.

With guided PRP and regenerative cell injections, we can stimulate your body’s natural repair process to strengthen the tendon and restore function — without the risks and downtime of surgery.

Patient Success Story

“...I swam the 100m Butterfly. Well, I won it — and my time was the fastest in the world.”

Surgery was recommended to Fred after an MRI showed tears in his rotator cuff. He chose regenerative treatments with Dr. Albano instead, and came back stronger than ever.

A Smart Investment In My Health

Coming to Dr. Albano and investing the time and money into the treatment he recommended was a wonderful decision. The process of recovery was challenging at times, and I am still not able to do 100% of the physical activities that I would like to be doing, but I am seeing improvements every week. I have gained so much functionality in my knee and I am doing things with less pain and more confidence. I am so happy to found Dr. Albano and his team!

A doctor I Trust

Dr. Albano is fantastic. As a physician, I am very picky as to who I would allow to perform procedures on me. And I trust Dr. Albano to treat my pain. Thanks Joe!

Living Pain Free

I am 6 weeks out from my PRP/stem cell treatment and have found so much improvement and less pain. Dr. Albano and his staff are so professional and explained everything to me. I was impressed with the ultrasound he gave me to determine just what my problem was. I would recommend the Albano Clinic to anyone who is looking for an alternative to surgery, cortisone injections, etc.

The Relief of a Full Recovery

I have been in some pretty intense pain with sciatica and a herniated disc. I came to Albano clinic and they got right on it for setting me up for full recovery. I have appreciated the personal touch and the feeling that my health and experience is very important to them. Dr. Joe, explains things clearly and really looks into getting you on the correct path for you, and not just a generic "fix-all" experience. His concern is that you are set on the right path to recovery...

Dr. Albano knows what's best!

Doctor Albano is quite sympathetic to my desires to keep my 50+ self going. I have been seeing him for nine year go and he has kept my bad hip, achilles(x2), elbow, shoulder and now knee in good enough condition to continue skiing and playing lacrosse. Very Good Doctor with great way about him.

Regenerative Medicine Works

Traditional medicine would have had me in invasive surgical procedures years ago! Thankfully I found Dr. Albano who has the experience to know that surgery isn't the first line of medicine.
