Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections for the Shoulder
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment option that involves injecting a concentrated solution of platelets obtained from the patient's own blood into the shoulder joint. This therapy can be used to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain associated with shoulder injuries and conditions.

Shoulder Fracture Care
A break in the bone that makes up the shoulder joint is called a shoulder fracture. The clavicle (collarbone) and end of the humerus (upper arm bone) closest to the shoulder are the bones that usually are fractured. The scapula, or shoulder blade, is not easily fractured because of its protective cover of surrounding muscles and chest tissue.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP is created by drawing a small amount of your blood and processing it to concentrate platelets and growth factors. The solution is then injected into the injured area. Because PRP comes from you, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is extremely low.

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) Treatment
Concentrated bone marrow, often referred to as Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC), is a regenerative treatment that utilizes a patient's own biological material to support tissue repair and reduce inflammation in joints and soft tissues.
-
Microfragmented Adipose Tissue (MFAT)
Microfragmented Adipose Tissue (MFAT) is a type of regenerative therapy that involves the processing of adipose (fat) tissue to obtain a concentrated source of adipose-derived stromal cells. These cells are then used to treat various painful conditions, particularly those involving musculoskeletal issues such as osteoarthritis of the joints and tendon injuries.

Cultured Stem Cells
Stem Cells are unique cells capable of developing into different specialized cell types in the body. Cultured stem cells refer to stem cells that are collected from a source such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, or other tissues and then expanded in a laboratory environment.
