  • What is a frozen shoulder? Do you have one?

    What is a frozen shoulder? Do you have one?

    Posted on: 09-Jun-2025 | No. of views: 1388

    A frozen shoulder is simply a shoulder that does not have normal motion.  Usually a frozen shoulder is painful, especially when the limits of the range of motion are reached.

    The most common reason why this happens is from minor shoulder trauma.  Sometimes it can happen after a surgical procedures. And sometimes it can happen without any real history of an injury at all!  

    At Texas Orthobiologics we have been helping patients with challenging frozen shoulder symptoms for over 25 years.  Over that time we have developed more nonsurgical ways, including the use of regenerative medicine techniques in the office, to shorten the impact of frozen shoulders for our patients.

  • Why is the PRP platelet recovery percentage important?

    Why is the PRP platelet recovery percentage important?

    Posted on: 12-May-2025 | No. of views: 1449

    I wish distributors and companies making and selling PRP kits would market their platelet recovery percentage.
    Why? Because it is not dependent on the patient's platelet count and is a metric that cannot be manipulated by changing the platelet volume or starting with a high platelet count.....it helps to level the playing field when evaluating PRP kits and protocols.

    Regenerative medicine is the perfect solution to help keep people active with as little pain as possible. I always have to remind these warriors in my office that their imaging findings often happen as we age...some arthritis, degenerative rotator cuffs and meniscus and labrum tears.....and that we don't necessarily need to schedule surgery because an xray or MRI shows "something". I think everyone deserves to know that these regenerative medicine treatment options are real and available from thoughtful clinicians.

    In this video, our patient describes her outcome 4 years after getting bone marrow concentrate (stem cell) injections into both of her knees. She was told she needed joint replacement but wanted to try a regenerative medicine approach first. Her results have been spectacular...she still has some stiffness but no pain. Of course, results vary and your doctor/surgeon will give you the latest info and options at Texas Orthobiologics.
