Getting Your Shoulder Injected
Regrettably, 90% of “stem cell” procedures involving the shoulder only place cells into muscle trigger points without guidance. That’s very incomplete care and usually a rip-off for the patient. So what should be injected?
- The joints using ultrasound or fluoroscopy
- Any bone sites with swelling using fluoroscopy
- Tendons using ultrasound guidance
- Ligaments using ultrasound
- Labrum using ultrasound or fluoroscopy
If you know someone with shoulder pain looking at PRP or stem cell treatment, make sure they’re educated! How do you know that there is a clinic that can offer all of this? Just find a local Regenexx provider!
