Shoulder Pain
Surgery Doesn't Have to Be the Only Option
Why you may not need shoulder surgery: Even with a Bad MRI
Many people that come to see us for shoulder pain will tell us that their doctor has described for them one of the “worst MRIs” they have ever seen.
Yet, some of these people are really not good surgical candidates. How can that be?
The simple reason for some is that the tear is not progressing enough to cause new or significant pain. But a tear still exists on MRI. Should it be operated on?
For appropriate candidates, surgery can be avoided in these conditions:
- Rotator cuff tendinitis
- Shoulder Impingement
- Shoulder instability
- Shoulder labrum tear
- Shoulder osteoarthritis
- Frozen shoulder
Alleviating Shoulder Pain
Dr. Marc Darrow uses non-surgical methods to treat shoulder pain. Bone marrow concentrate and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy have demonstrated significant improvements in shoulder pain. Please contact Dr. Darrow so we can begin our assessment of your candidacy for treatment.
Shoulder Pain Treatment
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate
Bone marrow concentrate or bone marrow aspirate concentrate is the injection into the damaged, injured area of the shoulder. The injection contains stem cells that have been drawn from the patient’s own bone marrow.
