PRP injections for the shoulder
Shoulder PRP uses components from your own blood to support local healing in selected cases — for example around the rotator cuff, impingement-related pain, or chronic symptoms after MRI review and a focused exam. Assessment and treatment are provided at the clinic in Bnei Reem.

What happens in clinic before the injection
History and shoulder exam, including night pain and activity triggers.
Imaging review (MRI/ultrasound) and candidacy for biologic therapy.
Injection performed with sterile technique and clear expectations.
Follow-up, load guidance, and rehab coordination.
When shoulder PRP may be considered
PRP may be discussed when symptoms persist around tendons or soft tissues and your specialist believes a biologic boost to local healing fits the clinical picture — not as a universal substitute for surgery.
PRP, physiotherapy, and surgery
Structured physiotherapy is often as important as the injection itself. For full-thickness tears or instability that needs repair, the primary plan may be surgical, with PRP considered only in specific recovery contexts.
FAQ
Is shoulder PRP appropriate for every painful shoulder?
No. Candidacy depends on diagnosis, age, activity level, and imaging — after evaluation by a shoulder-focused orthopedic specialist.
How soon can I return to sport after shoulder PRP?
It varies by diagnosis and load; many patients progress gradually over roughly 4–12 weeks per medical and physiotherapy guidance.
