Non-surgical options for shoulder pain
May 22 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Do you suffer from shoulder pain? Are you considering a surgical intervention to relieve shoulder pain? Looking for alternatives to shoulder surgery?
Join the Sellers Sports Medicine & Family Practice team at Spooner Old Town for a FREE community event focused on non-surgical relief for shoulder pain. Dr Joel Sellers & Dr. Tom Sellers will discuss alternatives to invasive surgery, including the use of Orthobiologics and PRP Therapy concerning the treatment of mild arthritis, muscle sprains, tears, ligament issues, and tendon issues with a focus on the shoulder.
Orthobiologics are substances that orthopaedic surgeons and Sports Medicine doctors like Dr. Sellers use to help injuries heal more quickly. They are used to improve the healing of broken bones and injured muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These products are often made from substances that are naturally found in your body. When they are used in higher concentrations, they may help speed up the healing process.
Platelet-rich plasma therapy, or PRP therapy. Platelets are components of our own blood that have the ability to promote healing in an area of injury or pain. Platelet-rich plasma therapy, or PRP therapy, involves the injection of the patient’s own concentrated source of platelets in order to activate the regeneration of damaged tissue. PRP therapy does not involve surgery and is typically used to treat mild arthritis, muscle sprains, tears, ligament issues, and tendon issues.
High-level athletes have used PRP therapy for many years in order to accelerate healing when dealing with pain or injury. Recent advancements in the field of regenerative medicine have made it possible to offer these innovative procedures to all patients who are good candidates.

How does PRP Therapy Work?
The procedure begins by obtaining a small sample of the patient’s blood. The sample is then placed in a high-spinning centrifuge machine. The spinning separates the blood into different components. The components consist of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. A concentrated source of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is then injected into and around the injured or damaged tissue. The concentrated source of platelets promotes the natural healing of damaged ligaments, cartilage, and tendons.
Additional injections (a series of 3 injections) may be needed in order to maximize tissue healing. The entire process takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes. Most patients are able to return to their normal daily activities shortly after receiving the injection.
PRP therapy can be used to treat a wide range of conditions and injuries associated with the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle, and foot.
