If you are suffering from Rotator Cuff Pain; JG Aesthetics sees patients from Newtownabbey, Carrickfergus, Glengormley and across County Antrim to help eliminate their rotator cuff pain with PRP Treatment.
PRP for Rotator Cuff Injuries
At JG Aesthetics, we offer PRP Treatment for Rotator Cuff Pain and see clients from Newtownabbey, Carrickfergus, Glengormley and right across County Antrim.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses a concentrated preparation of platelets obtained from a patient's own blood. Platelets contain naturally occurring growth factors and proteins involved in the body's normal healing and repair processes.
​
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that help stabilise the shoulder and allow the arm to move. Problems affecting the rotator cuff can include tendon irritation or degeneration, partial tears and other injuries, which may cause pain, weakness and restricted shoulder movement.
​
PRP may be considered for certain rotator cuff conditions, depending on the underlying problem, severity of symptoms and the individual's circumstances. However, not all shoulder pain is caused by a rotator cuff injury, and PRP will not be appropriate for every patient.
​
Symptoms of a Rotator Cuff Injury
-
Pain or aching in the shoulder, particularly when lifting or moving the arm

​
Are these symptoms affecting your quality of life?
There are different approaches to managing rotator cuff problems, depending on the underlying cause, the tendon or structure affected, the severity of symptoms and how long they have been present.
When Should You Seek Advice?
Consider seeking medical advice if shoulder pain is persistent, getting worse, affecting your movement or strength, disturbing your sleep or making everyday activities difficult.
​
It is important to establish the cause of shoulder pain before considering treatment, as not all shoulder problems are related to the rotator cuff. Symptoms can also occur with other conditions affecting the muscles, tendons, joints or surrounding structures.
​
If your shoulder pain began following an injury, particularly if you are unable to move your arm normally, have significant weakness or experienced a sudden onset of severe pain, medical assessment may be appropriate.
​
At JG Aesthetics, a consultation is required before PRP treatment. Your symptoms and medical history will be considered to establish whether PRP may be appropriate for your individual circumstances.
