A Different Approach to Shoulder Pain
The shoulder has the greatest range of motion of any joint in the body, making it one of the most mobile—and one of the most vulnerable. Rotator cuff injuries, arthritis, labral tears, and chronic tendon problems are common reasons patients seek care, but surgery is not always the only option.
Why Shoulder Injuries Heal Slowly
Many shoulder tendons, particularly those of the rotator cuff, have a limited blood supply. Because healing depends on platelets, growth factors, and repair cells delivered through the bloodstream, injuries in these low-vascularity areas often recover slowly.
Orthobiologic treatments aim to support the body's natural healing response by delivering concentrated biological materials directly to the injured tissue.
Clinical Insight
Limited blood flow is one reason chronic shoulder tendon injuries may persist despite rest, medication, or physical therapy alone.
Shoulder Conditions Commonly Treated
Important Note
Not every shoulder injury is appropriate for regenerative treatment. Complete tendon ruptures and certain structural injuries may still require surgery.
What Treatment Looks Like
Recovery Expectations
Treatment is performed as an outpatient procedure without general anesthesia. Most patients recover from the procedure within days to weeks, while functional improvement typically continues over the following three to six months.
"Our goal is to restore shoulder function while preserving your body's natural anatomy whenever possible."
— Dr. Joseph Albano
Is Regenerative Treatment Right for You?
If you're dealing with chronic shoulder pain, a rotator cuff injury, arthritis, or instability, an individualized evaluation can determine whether orthobiologic treatment may be an appropriate alternative to surgery.
