PRP for Shoulder Pain

20 Feb

Written By Omar Elalfy

PRP injections for shoulder pain deliver concentrated growth factors to damaged tendons, rotator cuff injuries, and arthritic joints to reduce pain and promote healing. The London PRP Clinic offers doctor-led shoulder PRP from £645.

Shoulder Conditions PRP Treats

Rotator Cuff Injuries

Partial tears and tendinopathy of the rotator cuff respond well to PRP. Growth factors promote tendon healing and reduce inflammation.

Shoulder Tendinitis

Inflammation of shoulder tendons (supraspinatus, biceps) can be treated with PRP to stimulate repair.

Shoulder Bursitis

PRP can reduce chronic bursitis by promoting tissue healing and reducing inflammation.

Shoulder Arthritis

Early to moderate osteoarthritis may benefit from PRP's anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects.

Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)

Some patients with frozen shoulder benefit from PRP as part of comprehensive treatment.

FAQ

Can PRP heal a torn rotator cuff?

PRP can help heal partial tears. Complete tears typically need surgical repair, though PRP may be used post-surgery to enhance healing.

How many injections do I need?

Most shoulder conditions need 1-2 injections. Your doctor will advise based on your response.

Can I continue physiotherapy?

Yes—physiotherapy is recommended alongside PRP for best results. Wait 48-72 hours post-injection before resuming.
