Why Does Shoulder Pain Persist Despite Rest or Physiotherapy?
Ongoing shoulder pain often means damaged tendons, ligaments, or joint surfaces have not healed completely. While rest, exercises, or medications may reduce discomfort temporarily, they do not always stimulate true tissue repair.
At Nivaan, PRP therapy for shoulder pain is used when recovery has plateaued. By addressing the biological healing process itself, PRP helps restart repair where natural healing has slowed or stalled.
What Is PRP Therapy for Shoulder Pain?
Regenerative treatment using your body’s own healing cells
PRP therapy for shoulder pain involves injecting a concentrated form of platelets derived from your blood into the affected shoulder area. Platelets contain growth factors that support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
Rather than masking pain, platelet-rich plasma shoulder treatment focuses on improving tissue quality and joint function. PRP is commonly used as a non-surgical option for patients seeking long-term improvement without invasive procedures.
What does PRP therapy for shoulder pain do?
- Stimulates repair of tendons and joint tissues
- Reduces inflammation at the injury site
- Supports long-term tissue healing
- Improves shoulder strength and movement
- Avoids surgery and prolonged recovery
At Nivaan, PRP for shoulder joint conditions is delivered as part of a structured care plan, supported by physiotherapy and ongoing clinical monitoring.
PRP Injection Shoulder Treatment at Nivaan
PRP therapy is customized based on diagnosis, tissue involvement, and activity demands.
Image-Guided PRP Injection Shoulder
Using imaging guidance, PRP is delivered precisely into the affected shoulder tendon, joint, or surrounding tissue to ensure accurate placement.

If shoulder pain has not improved with conventional care, regenerative therapy may help support deeper healing.
Who Is PRP Therapy for Shoulder Pain Suitable For?
Nonsurgical regenerative care for persistent shoulder issues
PRP therapy is recommended for patients with shoulder pain linked to tissue damage rather than mechanical instability alone. It is especially useful when conservative care has provided limited improvement.
Shoulder Conditions Commonly Treated with PRP
- Rotator cuff tendinopathy or partial tears
- Supraspinatus tendinopathy
- Biceps tendinopathy
- Shoulder labral irritation
- Early shoulder osteoarthritis
- Chronic inflammatory shoulder pain
A detailed clinical evaluation is required to confirm suitability.
How Does PRP Therapy for Shoulder Pain Work?
A biologically driven healing process
PRP therapy follows a structured, stepwise approach.
STEP 1
Clinical and Imaging Assessment
The shoulder is evaluated to identify tissue damage, inflammation, and suitability for regenerative therapy.
STEP 2
PRP Preparation and Injection
Blood is processed to concentrate platelets, which are then injected into the targeted shoulder area using image guidance.
STEP 3
Healing and Functional Reintegration
Following injection, physiotherapy supports controlled movement, gradual strengthening, and tissue adaptation.
Key Benefits of PRP Therapy for Shoulder Pain
Healing support beyond symptom relief
PRP therapy focuses on improving tissue health rather than only reducing pain signals. As tissues heal, movement often becomes more comfortable and reliable.
Patients commonly experience progressive improvements rather than immediate but short-lived relief.
Key benefits include:
- Supports natural tissue repair
- Reduces chronic inflammation
- Improves shoulder strength and function
- Helps delay or avoid surgery
- Complements physiotherapy and rehab
- Non-surgical and minimally invasive

FAQs About PRP Therapy for Shoulder Pain
It is a regenerative treatment that uses concentrated platelets from your blood to support tissue repair in the shoulder.
This depends on the condition and response. Some patients improve after one injection, while others may need a series.
Discomfort is usually mild and temporary, with local anesthesia used for comfort.
PRP works gradually. Improvements typically appear over weeks as healing progresses.
Often, PRP can reduce symptoms and improve function enough to delay or avoid surgery.
