Getting Your Shoulder Injected

By
Published on

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!
