Shoulder PRP injections target the glenohumeral joint, the large ball-and-socket joint where the humerus meets the scapula. This joint allows for a wide range of motion and is essential for everyday activities involving the arms and shoulders. It is encased in a strong yet flexible protective capsule, reinforced by ligaments that provide stability and strength.

 

The ends of the bones are covered with a smooth layer of cartilage, which helps reduce friction and absorb shock during movement. Additionally, the synovial membrane within the joint produces synovial fluid, lubricating the joint to ensure smooth function. Fluid-filled sacs called bursae further cushion the joint, reducing pressure and preventing irritation.

​

When issues arise, such as bursitis (inflammation of the bursae) or dislocation, pain and limited mobility can significantly impact daily life. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy works by harnessing the body’s natural healing properties to reduce inflammation, promote tissue regeneration, and restore function. This innovative treatment is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing persistent shoulder pain, stiffness, or instability, offering a non-surgical approach to recovery.
