How PRP Can Help Shoulder Injuries

Shoulder injuries can really slow people down. If you have an injury in your shoulder, it can keep you from doing your job to the best of your ability. It can also get in the way of the things you love to do. The pain that comes with a shoulder injury can also throw you for a loop and make your life miserable. Physical therapy and pain killers are typically prescribed to assist you in your recovery, but you have another option that will work from the inside out. It’s PRP therapy, and it could help your shoulder to heal faster than it would on its own.

What Can PRP Do for Shoulder Injuries?

PRP is an abbreviation for a powerful substance within your body known as platelet-rich plasma. Platelets contain growth factors that play a vital role when it comes to healing your body. Whether your cells have become damaged from daily wear and tear or you have experienced some type of injury, the PRP in your blood is always at work.

When it is used as a treatment for shoulder injuries, injections of highly concentrated PRP are used in order to accelerate the healing process. The process begins by taking a sample of your blood. It must be sent through a centrifuge in order to separate PRP from the other contents that are in your blood. Once we have your PRP prepared for your treatment, it will be injected into the area of your injury. At that point, your own PRP will begin a natural process of helping damaged tissues to regenerate. The results will not happen instantly, but you will notice the difference as you move forward. Your flexibility will increase and your pain will decrease as PRP assists you in your recovery.

Why Choose PRP for a Shoulder Injury?

There are so many options available when it comes to treating shoulder injuries, and it is wise to explore them all. There is a good chance that you will take a combination approach for the best results. Consider going with PRP to help your shoulder to heal more effectively through the use of a completely natural substance that is harvested from your own blood. You may even be able to avoid surgery with help from PRP. However, it all depends on the unique situation.

If you are struggling with a shoulder injury, it’s time to look for answers. Talk to our physician at Angelo Mattalino, MD about the possibility of PRP. This is your chance to explore an alternative that is being used more and more often in the medical field. Contact us today to schedule a consultation at our office in Phoenix.
