Condition overview · Orthopedics
Shoulder pain spans rotator-cuff tendinopathy and partial tears, labral injuries, frozen shoulder, and glenohumeral arthritis. The biologic strategy is tuned to which tissue is involved and how chronic the problem is.
Therapies for this condition
We choose between cellular therapy (marrow or adipose), PRP, and EPAT based on what's actually injured, a partial cuff tear, an arthritic joint, or a chronic tendinopathy each have a different best-fit biologic strategy.
01 · Cellular therapy
MSC-containing · same-day · image-guided
A small volume of marrow is drawn from your iliac crest under local anesthesia, concentrated in our on-site lab, then delivered with ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance to the target tissue.
02 · Platelet-rich plasma
Blood-derived · in-office · 60–90 min
Concentrated platelets and growth factors from your own blood, prepared in our lab and delivered into the target tissue under ultrasound guidance. The most-studied autologous biologic across orthopedic indications.
03 · Non-invasive pulse therapy
No needles · series of 3–6 sessions
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology, non-invasive acoustic pulses delivered to tendons and entheses to stimulate microcirculation and repair signaling. Used alone or layered with PRP.
04 · Cellular therapy · adipose
Adipose-derived · same-day · image-guided
Your own fat, microfragmented in our on-site lab the same day and delivered into the joint under ultrasound guidance. Considered for the arthritic glenohumeral joint, where a fuller biologic and a cushioning scaffold help.
Is this you?
A clear, condition-specific candidacy brief, so you can come to consultation already knowing where you stand and what to ask. If another path will serve you better, we'll point you to it.
