Regenerative Treatment for Shoulder InjuriesRegenerative treatment for shoulder injuries and conditions is available from the expert surgeons and physicians at Tampa Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Group.

We treat patients from Tampa, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and all surrounding Florida communities.

A common complaint, shoulder pain can result from:

  • Rotator cuff tears
  • Labral tears
  • Tendonitis
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Bursitis

Traditionally, surgical intervention was the only viable treatment for shoulder injuries and conditions. While it can be effective, surgery involves certain risks and often requires an extensive rehabilitation period, which is usually necessary for a patient to regain shoulder strength and flexibility. Alternatively, the regenerative medicine practiced at Tampa Orthopaedic in Tampa, FL, attempts to capture and amplify the body’s natural ability to heal itself. For instance, stem cells can be withdrawn from a patient’s own bone marrow or adipose tissue, concentrated through a lab process, and then injected into injured tissue. Another option is platelet-rich plasma therapy, through which a sample of a patient’s own blood is centrifuged to separate the platelet-rich plasma, which is then injected into the affected site.

These minimally invasive procedures are performed on an outpatient basis and require minimal activity restriction. While the outcome can vary from patient to patient, regenerative treatments continue to show promise for treating a variety of orthopaedic injuries and conditions affecting the shoulder and other joints.
