Rotator Cuff Tears- Prolotherapist FAQs: When are Prolotherapy & PRP used? Can surgery be avoided?

Danielle Matias, PA-C gives a general overview of when Comprehensive Prolotherapy with PRP is used for rotator cuff or other shoulder tears and shoulder instability cases vs. when a patient is typically referred for surgery. In our office, we treat many shoulder pain cases, some are patients trying to avoid surgery and some are patients who have already undergone surgery but it did not help them reach their functional goals, or they had the full-thickness tear surgically repaired and are coming in for Prolotherapy to address the other areas of shoulder instability that are not addressed by surgery.
