What Shoulder Pain Conditions Can Florida PRP Treat?
Rotator Cuff Injuries
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder. The latest research from Johns Hopkins shows millions of Americans experience rotator cuff injuries each year.
What Causes Rotator Cuff Injuries?
Overuse, aging, repetitive movements, or trauma can damage the rotator cuff.
What are the Symptoms of Rotator Cuff Injuries?
If you have injured your rotator cuff, you’ll likely experience pain when lifting the arm, shoulder weakness, and difficulty reaching behind your back.
The Role of PRP in Rotator Cuff Treatment
In a Journal of Clinical Medicine study analyzing patients with partial rotator cuff tears, PRP injections led to a substantial clinical improvement comparable to arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The data proves the value in both PRP and stem cell therapy for rotator cuff tears.
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder occurs when the tissue enclosing the joint thickens and tightens.
What Causes Frozen Shoulder?
Most forms of frozen shoulder occur as a result of a period of prolonged immobilization after surgery or injury.
What are the Symptoms of a Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder symptoms usually have a gradual onset period followed by severe stiffness and limited range of motion.
The Role of PRP in Frozen Shoulder Treatment
A 2023 study published in the Journal of Orthopedics found that PRP can help relieve frozen shoulder symptoms within 3 months of treatment.
Bursitis
Research from the National Healthcare Center shows that 200,000 people across the country experience shoulder pain due to bursitis, which refers to the inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs of the shoulder joint.
What are the most common bursitis symptoms?
Bursitis causes painful swelling, pain with movement, and tenderness around the shoulder joint.
The Role of PRP in Treating Bursitis
A Clinic Journal of Sports Medicine study, including over 1000 patients, compared PRP with corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid injections, and dry needling for bursitis pain relief and found PRP had the best results at both the 3-month and 12-month post-treatment stages.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis refers to the wear and tear of cartilage inside the shoulder joint. About 73% of those living with osteoarthritis are 55 years or older. The condition also affects younger patients in cases of joint overuse and excess weight.
What are the symptoms of osteoarthritis?
Patients with osteoarthritis report persistent pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility of the shoulder joint.
How Can PRP Help Treat Shoulder Osteoarthritis?
Research published in the International Journal of Medicine found that a 5 mL of PRP injected between the glenohumeral joint can help reduce shoulder osteoarthritis pain.
