Regenerative Orthopedic Procedures for Rotator Cuff Tears, Shoulder Arthritis, and Other Shoulder Conditions.

Regenerative orthopedic procedures are non-surgical injection-based procedures for people suffering from shoulder pain due to common injuries to the shoulder and rotator cuff, Shoulder Labrum, as well as degenerative conditions, such as shoulder osteoarthritis. These procedures utilize concentrated repair cells that are obtained from your own bone marrow or blood to promote your body’s own natural ability to heal.

Traditional options for patients suffering from these conditions include arthroscopic shoulder surgery to repair tears, or shoulder joint replacement. With both surgeries, months of rehab are required, and the patient must be aware of and prepared to take on the risks. These procedures are designed to help reduce pain and improve function with precise highly specific image-guided medical procedures to promote the body’s ability to heal itself naturally.

Commonly Treated Shoulder Conditions

  • Rotator cuff tears
  • Arthritis of the shoulder joint
  • Thoracic outlet syndrome
  • Labral tears or degeneration
  • Rotator cuff tendonitis & tendonosis
  • AC Joint Separation
  • Recurrent shoulder dislocations

This is not a complete list, so please contact us if you have questions about whether you or your condition can be treated with these non-surgical procedures.

Procedures for Rotator Cuff Tears

Using the healing agents from your own body to treat rotator cuff tears, shoulder arthritis, and other common shoulder conditions, our regenerative procedures provide an alternative to invasive surgeries like rotator cuff tear surgery, shoulder labrum surgery, acromioplasty, and shoulder replacement.

Highly specific, precise, image-guided injections of your own cells and growth factors directly into the injured area promotes your own body’s natural ability to repair. By both mobilizing your body’s own healing mechanisms and eliminating the trauma of surgery and atrophy caused by immobilization, our procedures have produced good outcomes in the treatment of rotator cuff tears, and other common shoulder injuries and degenerative conditions like shoulder arthritis.

How Our Procedures Work

Bone Marrow Stem Cell Concentrate Procedures 

Bone Marrow Concentrate contains your own stem cells. These reparative cells, inherent to our bodies, reside in various tissues, primed to initiate repair when damage occurs. However, as we age or sustain significant injuries, our capacity to recruit these cells diminishes, hindering full restoration. The bone marrow concentrate procedure addresses this issue by extracting bone marrow from the dense cell population in the back of the hip, concentrating them, and precisely administering them into the injured area with advanced imaging guidance. The objective is to alleviate pain and enhance functionality by harnessing the body's innate healing capabilities. Our protocol for Bone Marrow Stem Cell Concentrate can effectively treat a broad spectrum of orthopedic conditions. Your Interventional Orthopedics CT physician will assess your condition and imaging to determine whether bone marrow stem cell concentrate or platelet-based therapy is optimal for your orthopedic needs.

Platelet Rich Plasma Procedures

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) procedures involve utilizing healing growth factors derived from your own blood to enhance your body’s innate repair mechanisms. This treatment has gained prominence, particularly among professional athletes, for its effectiveness in addressing joint, tendon, ligament, and muscle injuries. PRP injections stimulate the repair cells within the targeted area, intensifying their natural healing capabilities. Similar to other Interventional Orthopedics CT procedures, PRP procedures are conducted under advanced imaging guidance to ensure precise placement of cells in the intended location. Platelet procedures, or PRP, are frequently employed for soft tissue injuries, mild arthritis, spine conditions, and nerve-related issues.
