Patient FAQs

The shoulder joint is the most mobile joint in your body. But this mobility comes at a price. The body’s constant struggle to keep the joint stable can cause problems when there’s an injury or degenerative disease.

Most patients considering surgery for a shoulder injury, degenerative condition, or osteoarthritis are looking for pain relief. However, research shows that shoulder surgery isn’t all that effective for many patients.1 While your shoulder MRI could indicate a tear or degeneration, it may not be the cause of pain.2

Can I Avoid Shoulder Surgery?

In many cases the answer is yes. Regenexx has alternatives to shoulder surgery that help your body use its healing abilities to treat pain and promote a more speedy recovery.

Am I a candidate?

Regenexx procedures are non-surgical alternatives that use precise image-guided injections of your body’s own natural healing agents to treat shoulder injuries. These procedures utilize either platelet-rich plasma or your own bone marrow concentrate (contains stem cells) to help you avoid shoulder surgery. Once you’ve been evaluated, your physician will customize a treatment plan based on your specific needs.

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
