Biologic Therapy for Shoulder Pain & Injuries

Biologic therapies offer a modern, regenerative approach to treating shoulder conditions. By reducing inflammation, encouraging tissue repair, and restoring mobility, these treatments can be an effective option for patients with shoulder injuries or chronic pain.

This protocol outlines a clear, step-by-step guide for delivering intra-articular (joint) and intramuscular (IM) injections using stem cells, exosomes, or similar biologics.

Step 1

Ideal Candidates

Best suited for patients who have:

Mild to moderate rotator cuff damage
Tendon irritation or degeneration
Cartilage wear causing joint discomfort
Chronic pain that hasn’t responded to traditional therapies
Active lifestyles or athletic goals requiring faster recoveryMay improve hormonal balance and menstrual function

Important considerations:

Patient should be in good overall health
Exclude those with acute infections or conditions that may interfere with healing

Contraindications:

Active infection at or near injection site
History of severe allergic reaction to injectables or anesthetics
Advanced joint degeneration requiring surgery
Uncontrolled chronic illnesses (e.g., diabetes, clotting disorders, autoimmune disease)

Step 2

Preparing for the Procedure

Clinic Setup

Maintain a sterile workspace
Use approved instruments and biologics (check expiration and storage guidelines)

Essential Equipment:

Biologic solution (e.g., stem cell or exosome vial)
3–5 mL sterile syringes
Antiseptic prep solution (e.g., alcohol or chlorhexidine)
Ultrasound for guided injection

Patient Prep

Informed Consent: Explain procedure, benefits, risks, and recovery
Anesthetic Options: Offer local or topical anesthesia (allow time for effect)
Skin Preparation: Clean injection site thoroughly to avoid infection

Step 3

Injection Techniques

Types of Injection:

Joint Injections (Intra-Articular) – For cartilage damage and joint stiffness
Muscle Injections (Intramuscular) – For soft tissue injury or chronic tendon pain

Step-by-Step Protocol:

Use ultrasound to mark the injection site
Draw 1–2 mL of biologic product into a sterile syringe
Administer injection with precision, guided by imaging
Apply light pressure post-injection and observe for any immediate discomfort

Step 4

Aftercare & Monitoring

Post-Procedure Instructions:

Rest the shoulder for 24–48 hours
Mild swelling or soreness may occur and typically resolves within days

Pain Management:

Recommend acetaminophen
Avoid NSAIDs to support the body’s natural healing response

Follow-Up Care:

Patients should contact the clinic if experiencing:
Excessive swelling or redness
Fever or signs of infection
Sharp or worsening pain

Step 5

Safety Protocols

Immediate Monitoring:

Observe the patient for 5–10 minutes after injection
Watch for rare allergic reactions

Emergency Preparedness:

Keep epinephrine and antihistamines on hand
Ensure all staff are trained in emergency protocols

Preventing Infection:

Maintain strict sterile technique from start to finish
Use sealed, single-use equipment wherever possible

Step 6

Ongoing Care

First Follow-Up:

Schedule at 2–4 weeks post-treatment
Assess pain levels, movement, and feedback

Long-Term Monitoring:

Recommend follow-ups over the next several months
Additional treatments may be spaced every 4–6 weeks for best outcomes

Step 7

Documentation & Tracking

Procedure Records Should Include:

Product type and volume used
Injection technique and location
Immediate response from patient
Post-procedure advice provided

Tracking Results:

Note changes in symptoms during follow-ups
Record feedback, concerns, and any need to adjust dosage or timing

Summary

This protocol delivers a reliable, easy-to-follow system for offering biologic injections to patients with shoulder pain. By focusing on patient safety, clinical precision, and structured follow-up, healthcare providers can improve outcomes and patient satisfaction while reducing complications.
