Benefits of
Nonsurgical Shoulder Treatments
The benefits of regenerative, nonsurgical shoulder treatments can be profound. Imagine relieving your shoulder pain and restoring joint function without the need for time off work, added pain, the use of narcotics, or the risks and complications associated with surgery. Plus, you can avoid a lengthy and painful recovery process.
Less Invasive
Shoulder surgery requires general anesthesia and invasive surgery. Regenerative shoulder pain treatments do not require general anesthesia and cause no additional tissue damage.
Faster Recovery
Shoulder surgery requires a long recovery.
- Hospital stay: typically, outpatient or 1 day
- Opioid pain relief: about 1 week
- Subsequent pain meds: 4-8 weeks
- Use of sling: 2-6 weeks
- Return to work: typically, 2 weeks to 6 months depending on the work
- Return to full activity: 4-6 months, (longer for strenuous activity)
With regenerative medicine, you won’t miss a day of work.
Lower Risks
The inherent medical risks with shoulder surgery include:
- Excess bleeding
- Blood clots
- Infections
- Nerve damage
- Stiffening of the joint (frozen shoulder)
- Damage to blood vessels disrupting blood flow to the shoulder
- Cartilage damage
- Joint instability
- Post-traumatic arthritis
- Implant failure (for shoulder replacement)
- Scarring
- Pneumonia
In contrast, the primary risk associated with regenerative medicine is mild soreness for one to two days, making it a less invasive and therefore safer option for pain relief.
