Platelet-Rich Plasma, from your own blood, injected into the shoulder under ultrasound guidance, in the office.
What Is a PRP Shoulder Injection?
A PRP shoulder injection is Platelet-Rich Plasma, a concentrate of platelets made from a small sample of your own blood, injected into the shoulder under ultrasound guidance in the office. What a PRP injection is
What Is Different About the Shoulder
The injection goes into the joint, into the subacromial space, or along the rotator cuff tendons, depending on what the examination and the imaging show, under ultrasound guidance. Ordinary use is usually possible after the injection, but Dr. Abbasi will advise you about exercise and loading.
What the Consultation Asks You
The consultation begins with what this shoulder has stopped you doing: lifting a grandchild, reaching the top shelf, sleeping on that side. That goal helps shape the plan alongside the examination and imaging.
The Visit
Dr. Abbasi examines the joint and reviews your imaging. A small sample of blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge in the office to concentrate the platelets. The concentrate is then injected. It is a band-aid procedure, and most patients resume light activity the same day. More about PRP

Questions People Ask
Can I use my arm afterwards?
Yes, for ordinary things, the same day. Heavy or overhead lifting waits; Dr. Abbasi will advise you based on the joint treated and your activity.
How many injections will I need?
Usually one to three, depending on the size of the joint and how you respond.
Should I avoid anti-inflammatories or ice?
Where possible, yes. We recommend avoiding anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen and naproxen, and ice, around the injection.
When can I get back to normal?
Take it easy that day. Full activity is usually allowed the next day, depending on the joint and the problem treated, and Physical Therapy is often recommended alongside PRP. Call the office if pain, swelling or limping develops.
Do you take insurance?

Anyone Can Give an Injection. Knowing Whether You Need One Takes a Diagnosis.
An injection is only as good as the diagnosis behind it. Dr. Abbasi, a double board certified orthopedic surgeon, examines your joint and reviews your X-rays or MRI before anything is recommended. If an injection isn't the right treatment, you'll hear that at the first visit, along with what is.
