Non-Surgical Procedures for Rotator Cuff Tears, AC joint sprains labral tears and Other Shoulder Conditions
Non-Surgical Procedures such as Regenerative Medicine PRP, A2M, Stem Cell Therapy, Low Level Laser, Adjustments, and Myofascial Release are treatments for people suffering from shoulder pain due to common injuries to the shoulder and rotator cuff, Shoulder Labrum, Impingement Syndrome as well as degenerative conditions — ex. shoulder osteoarthritis. Regenerative Medicine PRP utilizes concentrated repair cells that are obtained from your own blood to promote your body’s own natural ability to heal. Low Level Laser is also used to increase the effectiveness of PRP. A2M, Stem Cell Therapy, and Prolotherapy is typically used for AC Joint sprains.
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 fully prepared to take on the risks. Non-Surgical procedures are designed to help reduce pain and improve function.
Non-Surgical 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, Regenerative Medicine provides an alternative to invasive surgeries such as rotator cuff tear surgery, shoulder labrum surgery, acromioplasty, and shoulder replacement.
PRP consist of your own cells and growth factors and are directly injected into the injured area and promotes your own body’s natural ability to repair. At Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics we utilize a special method of preparing PRP by adding both the platelets and the WBC's (white blood cells) which is superior to platelets only. By both mobilizing your body’s own healing mechanisms and eliminating the trauma of surgery and atrophy caused by immobilization, PRP coupled with A2M, Stem Cell Therapy or Low Level Laser have produced excellent outcomes in the treatment of rotator cuff tears, and other common shoulder injuries and degenerative conditions like shoulder arthritis.
HOW REGENERATIVE MEDICINE WORKS
Effective PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Procedures
REGENERATIVE MEDICINE
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) are procedures that contain healing growth factors from your own blood that promote your body’s natural ability to repair itself. The use of PRP to treat joint, tendon, ligament, and muscle injuries is becoming well known, thanks to exposure from professional athletes. Platelet injections have a stimulating effect on the repair cells within the targeted area, making those cells work harder to perform their natural job of healing the body. Regenerative Medicine PRP procedures are performed with high-level imaging guidance to ensure the most accurate placements of cells into the desired area. Platelet procedures are commonly used for soft tissue injuries, mild arthritis, spine conditions, and around nerves. Low Level Laser is used to increase the effectiveness of the PRP.
