PRP Therapy for a Pain‑Free Shoulder in Riverdale

Is your shoulder pain dragging on longer than it should?
If you’ve tried rest, ice, therapy, or even cortisone shots and you’re still in pain, it might be time to consider something more targeted.
Whether it’s a rotator cuff injury, tendonitis, arthritis, or just wear and tear from years of overuse, chronic shoulder pain slows you down.
It limits your independence.
And if you’re trying to avoid surgery or long-term meds, the options can feel limited.
That’s where Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy comes in for a Pain‑Free Shoulder.

The problem with standard treatments for shoulder pain

Considering PRP therapy can lead to a Pain‑Free Shoulder and improved quality of life.

You’re told to:

  • Rest
  • Take NSAIDs
  • Go to physical therapy
  • Get a cortisone injection
  • Repeat this cycle until surgery becomes the “next step”

Cortisone shots may relieve inflammation for a short while, but over time, they can actually weaken tendons and tissue.
And if your shoulder pain comes from a partial tendon tear, impingement, or early arthritis, you’re often stuck in a gray zone.
Not bad enough for surgery, but not getting better either.
This is when many patients start asking, “What else can I do that actually helps the injury heal?”
PRP may be the answer.

Our solution: shoulder PRP therapy in Riverdale

At Regenerative Joint Clinics, we use PRP to help stimulate your body’s natural repair process in the shoulder joint, without surgery or extended downtime.

What is PRP?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is made by drawing a small sample of your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and injecting it back into the injured area.
Platelets contain growth factors and healing proteins that can help reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair.
How PRP works for shoulder issues:

  • Encourages healing in tendons and ligaments
  • Reduces inflammation in joint spaces
  • Improves circulation and cell regeneration
  • Helps restore mobility over time

We commonly treat:

  • Rotator cuff strains and partial tears
  • Shoulder tendonitis or tendinosis
  • Bursitis
  • Frozen shoulder
  • Labral injuries
  • Early-stage osteoarthritis

The treatment is performed in-office, usually takes under an hour, and most patients go home right after with minimal restrictions.

Why choose RJC for shoulder PRP in Riverdale?

Personalized evaluation

Not every shoulder condition responds to PRP. That’s why we start with a detailed consult, looking at your range of motion, medical history, and imaging (if available).
We’ll only recommend PRP if we believe it will help.

Experienced local care

Our Riverdale clinic has helped people from Jonesboro, Fayetteville, College Park, and nearby communities get relief through regenerative options without resorting to surgery.

We don’t offer PRP as a trendy upsell. It’s a clinical tool we use when the condition, timing, and healing potential are right.

No guesswork

If PRP isn’t a fit, we’ll tell you—and guide you toward the care that is. If it is, we’ll build a custom protocol designed to give your shoulder its best chance to recover.

Real patients, real progress
