Shoulder PRP Therapy at NTX Regen Center
Suffering from shoulder pain? PRP therapy uses your body’s own healing power to ease pain and restore motion—without surgery. Reclaim your active lifestyle at our North Dallas clinics, now welcoming new patients.
What Is Shoulder PRP Therapy?
Shoulder PRP (Platelet‑Rich Plasma) Therapy is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a highly concentrated portion of your own blood to accelerate healing inside the shoulder joint and surrounding soft tissues. By injecting growth‑factor‑rich plasma directly where it’s needed, PRP targets the root cause of pain and inflammation, not just the symptoms.
How Does Shoulder PRP Therapy Work?
Blood Draw
A small sample of your blood is collected.
Platelet Processing
Centrifuging concentrates platelets and growth factors.
Injection
Ultrasound-guided PRP is injected into injured shoulder tissues to speed healing

Frequently Asked Questions
PRP is often used for rotator cuff tears, impingement syndrome, bursitis, frozen shoulder, and tendonitis. It may help improve function and reduce pain when physical therapy and oral medication alone have not provided relief. For a deeper understanding of shoulder-related diagnoses we manage, visit our Shoulder Pain.
Platelet-rich plasma is drawn from your own blood and concentrated before being injected into the affected area. It contains growth factors that support collagen development and natural repair. PRP does not simply mask pain but encourages the body’s healing response. See our PRP Therapy for a full explanation of how it works.
Most patients feel soreness for a few days, followed by gradual mobility and comfort improvement over several weeks. Full benefits may take 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the condition being treated. Recovery plans vary. For longer-term improvement, some patients join our 6-Month Regenerative Program to support full-body recovery.
In some cases, yes. Patients with partial rotator cuff tears or chronic shoulder pain may find that PRP reduces inflammation and restores function. It is often recommended before exploring surgical options. Learn more about non-surgical shoulder care on our Arthritis & Joint Pain.
Most patients start with one injection. Depending on how you respond, your provider may suggest a second or third round after a few weeks. Some patients also move into biologic cell therapy for added benefit. Read about next-level options on our Shoulder Stem Cell Therapy.
Yes. PRP can be used for age-related shoulder degeneration, especially when surgery is not preferred. It is well-tolerated and may help restore mobility in active older adults.
