Shoulder Pain, Injury & Arthritis Treatment with Dynamic Regenerative Medicine UK
Effective Treatment for Shoulder Pain with Injection Therapy & PRP
Shoulder pain is an extremely common musculoskeletal complaint affecting people of all ages. Whether it’s due to trauma, a sports injury, or chronic overuse, shoulder pain can significantly impact mobility and quality of life. At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, with clinics in Edgbaston, Birmingham and Henley-in-Arden, Warwickshire, we specialise in the treatment of acute or chronic shoulder pain, helping patients overcome pain or injury and through cutting-edge, minimally invasive therapies — including Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), hyaluronic acid, and corticosteroid injections.
With over a decade of experience in regenerative medicine, our team has successfully treated many thousands of patients with non-surgical solutions designed to reduce pain, restore function, and promote healing naturally.
Shoulder rotator cuff inflammation and osteoarthritis are amongst the two most common painful shoulder conditions. Osteoarthritis is characterised by the gradual breakdown of cartilage in the joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Traditional treatments often focus on symptom management, but regenerative therapies aim to reduce inflammation and slow the progression of degenerative changes by promoting tissue repair and regeneration.
Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can result from various conditions and injuries, including:
• Osteoarthritis
• Rotator cuff tears
• Ligament injuries (often associated with dislocation)
• Tendinitis
• Bursitis
• Impingement syndrome
• Post-surgical recovery
Identifying the root cause of the pain is crucial in selecting the most effective treatment. At our shoulder pain clinic in Birmingham, we carry out thorough assessments, including clinical evaluations and diagnostic imaging, to ensure accurate diagnosis and targeted therapy.

Advanced Injection Therapies for Shoulder Pain
PRP therapy is a regenerative treatment that utilises your body’s own healing properties like platelets and growth factors to promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation. PRP is extracted from your own blood, processed, and then injected directly into the shoulder joint or damaged tissue. It is a very safe and effective treatment that we have been using for the past decade with very good success rates.
Benefits of PRP shoulder injection:
✔️ Natural and safe
✔️ Reduces inflammation
✔️ Promotes healing
✔️ Facilitates tissue regeneration
✔️ Excellent long-term results
✔️ Very little side effects
✔️ Especially effective in mild to moderate osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, and ligament damage.
Evidence-Based Support
👉🏼 PRP vs Corticosteroid – Double-Blind RCT
Subacromial shoulder injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) provides greater improvement in pain and functional outcomes compared to corticosteroids at 1-year follow-up: a double-blinded randomised controlled trial
👉🏼 Clinical Effects of Additional PRP Application to Exercise Therapy in Patients with Subacromial Impingement: A Double-Blind Randomised Trial. Reporting combining ET with PRP was superior in reducing pain and improving abduction degree and strength.
📄Study .
👉🏼 Effectiveness of intra-bursal injection of PRP against corticosteroid under ultrasound for shoulder impingement. While steroid was effective in short-term pain reduction, PRP was effective in long-term improvement in shoulder abduction.
📄Study.
👉🏼 Comparison of the effects of PRP and corticosteroid injection in rotator cuff disease treatment: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Showing PRP is more beneficial for long-term recovery.
👉🏼 Effects of PRP in Tear Size Reduction in Partial-Thickness Tear of the Supraspinatus Tendon Compared to Corticosteroids Injection. Results - PRP injection can reduce the tear size in partial-thickness tears of the supraspinatus tendon. Subacromial steroid injection did not significantly affect the tear size. While CS improved functional scores compared with baseline, PRP resulted in better improvement 6 months post-injection.
📄Study.
PRP vs corticosteroid for treatment of rotator cuff tendinopathy:a Meta-analysis]. For patients with shoulder cuff tendon disease, there are no significant difference in pain relief and functional recovery during short and medium-term follow-up period. However, RPR injection showed advantages over corticosteroid injection in terms of functional recovery and pain relief during long-term follow-up. There is no significant difference in shoulder range of motion between two groups during the whole follow-up period.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance in the joint that acts as a lubricant, nourishing and protecting the joint cartilage, and slowing the progression of further degenerative changes. In patients with osteoarthritis, the concentration of HA is often reduced, leading to pain and stiffness.
Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid injection:
✔️ Restores cartilage lubrication
✔️ Improves joint mobility and function
✔️ Nourishes and protects cartilage
✔️ Reduces joint pain
✔️ Especially useful for active individuals seeking joint support
HA injections are often used as a viscosupplementation treatment and can be combined with PRP therapy for enhanced outcomes.
Corticosteroid injections offer fast and strong pain relief by reducing inflammation within the shoulder region. They are particularly helpful for:
• Inflammation
• Flare-ups of osteoarthritis
• Patients needing short-term symptom relief
However, they are generally considered a short-term solution and not recommended for repeated use due to potential side effects, soft tissue weakening with repeated injection treatment, and cartilage degradation with overuse.
