PRP Injection Therapy For Shoulder Pain
Serving Montgomery and Houston.
Learn how PRP in many cases can be an excellent alternative to steroids or shoulder surgery and address the root cause of shoulder pain quickly and naturally.
Comprised of bones, cartilage, tendons, and muscles, the shoulder joint resembles a ball and socket, with the upper arm bone (humerus) fitting into the shoulder blade (scapula). This type of joint allows for extensive rotation and movement in multiple directions, emphasizing the importance of stabilization. The rotator cuff, a group of muscles and tendons, provides support to the shoulder and enables a full range of motion. Additionally, other components such as the bursa (a fluid-filled cushion protecting the tendons) and the labrum (cartilage safeguarding the humerus bone) work in conjunction with the rotator cuff. The optimal functioning of the shoulder joint relies on the strength and well-being of each of these interconnected parts.
However, due to the shoulder’s involvement in various movements, repetitive actions, and demanding routines, it is prone to injury and degeneration. Shoulder pain can significantly impact our quality of life. To regain lost strength and functionality, it is essential to address the underlying damage and provide the body with the necessary tools for repair and rebuilding. At New You Stem Cell Center in Tomball, Texas, we are dedicated to guiding our patients on the path to healing through regenerative treatments.

How PRP can help with shoulder pain
Injuries and conditions related to joints often exhibit slow healing due to limited blood supply in those areas. However, PRP therapy offers a solution by enhancing the body’s natural healing capacity and providing the additional resources necessary for damaged areas. The treatment involves extracting a blood sample from the patient, separating the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. This concentrated plasma contains growth-inducing proteins that play a crucial role in tissue healing. Acting as a magnet for stem cells, the enriched substance attracts new, healthy cells to the damaged area, promoting tissue regeneration.
In contrast to more traditional methods like surgery, cortisone injections, and medications, which often entail long recovery times and potential long-term side effects, PRP therapy offers a safer alternative. It continues to gain recognition and advancement in the medical field for its ability to effectively heal and rebuild damaged tissues. Moreover, PRP therapy carries minimal risks since the injected platelet-rich plasma is derived from the patient’s own blood.
Utilizing PRP therapy for shoulder pain addresses the underlying cause of pain, empowering the body with the necessary resources to accelerate healing and tap into its natural ability to repair itself.
