FAQs

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body. This distinction may also make it more vulnerable to instability, particularly when injury or degenerative conditions are present.

Patients commonly seek non-surgical treatment options for shoulder discomfort caused by injuries, arthritis, or other joint issues from physicians in the licensed Regenexx network at Mountain View Headache and Spine Institute in Phoenix, AZ. While surgery is often the typical consideration, studies suggest it may not always provide the most recommended results[1]. Furthermore, imaging such as MRIs may reveal tears or degeneration that are not the primary cause of pain[2].

Mountain View Headache and Spine Institute: The Regenexx Approach for Shoulder Discomfort

The Regenexx approach at Mountain View Headache and Spine Institute provides non-surgical alternatives for addressing shoulder injuries through precise, image-guided injections that use a patient’s natural healing agents. These procedures may include platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or bone marrow concentrate (which contains stem cells) to may support healing and may help patients avoid shoulder surgery.

After a thorough evaluation, the physician will customize a treatment plan for the patient, which may help reduce discomfort and may improve shoulder function.

Pre- and Post-Shoulder Repair MRI Imaging

Below are MRI results from two patients who received procedures using the Regenexx approach as an alternative to shoulder surgery.

To view the image before the procedure, showing a torn rotator cuff, use the slider to view the BEFORE image on the right. The arrow highlights a visible gap where the tendon should be. Slide to the AFTER image on the left to see the outcome post-treatment. The once-missing tendon now appears as a dark diagonal band, indicating structural change following the Regenexx treatment protocols.

These procedures are offered by physicians in the licensed Regenexx network at Mountain View Headache and Spine Institute in Phoenix, AZ.

Patient FAQs

The shoulder is a shallow ball-and-socket joint. The ball is called the humerus bone, and the socket is called the glenoid. The lip around the socket is called the labrum (Latin for “lip”), and its main job is to keep the shoulder ball inside its shallow socket. Ligaments and the rotator cuff also help keep the shoulder in place.

Shoulder instability occurs when tendons and ligaments get stretched, torn due to trauma, or simply worn out due to age and allow too much motion in the joint. This additional motion leads to arthritis as sections of the joint are exposed to more wear and tear, bone spurs as your body’s solution to “shoring up” an unstable joint, and tears and stretching of the ligaments as they deal with forces they’re not designed to withstand.3
