Shoulder Pain Treatment in The Woodlands and Houston

Causes of Shoulder Pain

Before we discuss treatment options, we need to figure out where your shoulder pain is coming from. At Houston Spine & Regenerative Medicine, we always take a complete history and do a thorough physical examination to make sure we do not miss anything. Some of the most common causes of shoulder pain we see include:

• Rotator Cuff Tear: If you have a tear of your rotator cuff, you may feel like you need surgery, but this is not always the case. Your rotator cuff is a set of muscles that provide support and flexibility to the shoulder, allowing it to move without weakening. We can take a look at your rotator cuff to figure out why it has been damaged. Then, we will use regenerative medicine to restore it.

• Joint Degeneration: Over time, certain parts of your shoulder joint might degenerate. This can make it hard for you to move your shoulder joint. We can take a look at the parts of your shoulder that have degenerative, and we can use regenerative medicine to facilitate the healing process.
• AC Joint Separation: If the clavicle of the shoulder separates from the scapula, you may be diagnosed with an AC joint separation. This is typically sustained when someone takes a blow to the shoulder while playing contact sports. This can lead to ligament and tendon damage, and we can use regenerative medicine to help you.
• Shoulder Dislocations: If you have been diagnosed with shoulder dislocation, we can use regenerative medicine to heal damaged ligaments and tendons. That way, we can not only restore your shoulder joint but also reduce the chances of a future dislocation taking place.

These are just a few of the many possible reasons why you may have shoulder pain. We will figure out where the pain is coming from, and we will customize our treatment options to meet your needs.

Regenerative Treatment for Shoulder Pain

If you are looking for shoulder pain treatment for shoulder pain, we offer a variety of regenerative medicine techniques that can help you. At Houston Spine & Regenerative Medicine, we will always talk with you about your treatment options before we make a decision on what to do next. Some of the regenerative medicine treatment options we use to treat shoulder pain include:

Stem Cell Therapy (Mesenchymal)

At Houston Spine & Regenerative Medicine, we provide mesenchymal stem cell therapy for shoulder pain. Mesenchymal Stem cells have not yet differentiated into their final form. This means that we can use them to replace or restore damaged tissue. 

For example, if you have missing cartilage between your shoulder tissues, we can use mesenchymal stem cell therapy to replace it. That way, instead of having to deal with scar tissue, you have native tissue that restores your functionality and flexibility. It would be our pleasure to use mesenchymal stem cell therapy to help you recover from shoulder pain.

Connective Tissue Matrix

We also offer a treatment option called the Connective Tissue Matrix. This is a specific treatment option that restores functionality to damaged tissues. It has been used to treat damaged muscles, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. It provides support for damaged tissue as it recovers. We can use it to help you treat shoulder pain.

By encasing your damaged shoulder in a powerful extracellular matrix, we provide your shoulder with the support it requires, allowing it to do what it does naturally. We can also use this treatment option to limit possible complications and side effects during the recovery process.
