PRP for Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can feel like a small nuisance at first—perhaps a twinge when lifting a grocery bag or a stiffness after sleeping on your side. But for many, that mild discomfort gradually turns into chronic pain, limited motion, and difficulty with everyday tasks. Whether caused by overuse, injury, arthritis, or inflammation, shoulder pain can severely impact your quality of life.

At Tulsi Wellness Club, we specialize in regenerative solutions that empower your body to heal itself—without drugs or invasive surgery. One of the most effective treatments we offer is PRP therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma), especially for persistent shoulder pain.

Let’s explore how PRP works, what conditions it can treat, the healing process, and how to manage common responses like detox symptoms or mild hypoglycemia.

What Is PRP and How Does It Help Shoulder Pain?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses the healing components in your own blood to reduce pain, repair soft tissue, and restore function.

Here’s how it works:

A small amount of your blood is drawn.
It's spun in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets and growth factors.
This platelet-rich solution is then injected directly into the damaged or inflamed areas of the shoulder.

Platelets contain natural growth factors that:

Reduce inflammation
Promote tissue regeneration
Stimulate collagen production
Enhance blood flow to injured areas

Unlike corticosteroid injections—which offer short-term relief but may weaken tissue over time—PRP promotes long-term healing by encouraging your body’s own repair mechanisms.

What Types of Shoulder Pain Can PRP Treat?

PRP is versatile and has shown excellent results in treating a wide range of shoulder issues, including:

Rotator cuff tears (partial)
Shoulder impingement syndrome
Tendinitis and tendinosis
Bursitis
Shoulder osteoarthritis
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
Labral tears (minor to moderate)

Whether your pain is caused by sports, overuse, aging, or a recent injury, PRP may be a powerful tool to reduce inflammation and promote healing.

What to Expect During PRP Treatment

PRP therapy is a straightforward in-office procedure at Tulsi Wellness Club and usually takes about 60–90 minutes:

Blood Draw – We collect a small sample of your blood.
Processing – It’s spun in a medical centrifuge to extract a concentrated PRP solution.
Injection – Using ultrasound guidance, we inject PRP into the affected shoulder tissues with precision and care.

There’s little to no downtime. Most patients return to their regular routine within 24–48 hours, though you should avoid heavy lifting for a few days post-injection.

Understanding Detox Reactions After PRP

PRP activates a localized healing response in the injected area. This controlled inflammation is a key part of how it works—but for some, it may come with mild “detox” symptoms as the body clears damaged tissue and inflammation.

Common detox-related responses may include:

Fatigue
Muscle achiness
Brain fog or temporary mood shifts
Mild flu-like symptoms
Headaches
Increased thirst

These typically resolve within 1–3 days and can be minimized by:

Drinking plenty of filtered water
Resting and avoiding strenuous activity
Eating an anti-inflammatory, nutrient-rich diet
Supporting lymphatic flow with gentle movement or sauna therapy

Watch for Hypoglycemia-Like Symptoms

Though PRP itself doesn’t directly alter blood sugar levels, some patients—especially those with blood sugar sensitivity, adrenal fatigue, or anxiety—may experience hypoglycemia-like symptoms after the treatment. These may include:

Dizziness or lightheadedness
Cold sweats
Nausea or faintness
Shakiness or brain fog

This is more likely if the procedure is done on an empty stomach. To prevent this, we recommend:

Eating a small, protein-rich meal 1–2 hours before your appointment
Staying well hydrated
Letting us know if you have a history of low blood sugar—we’re happy to monitor and support you

We provide a soothing, well-monitored environment to ensure you feel comfortable throughout the process.

Healing Timeline: When Will You Feel Better?

PRP isn’t an instant fix—it’s a regenerative therapy that heals over time. Here’s a general guide to the recovery process:

Days 1–3: You may feel mild soreness or inflammation at the injection site. This is normal and a sign your body is activating healing.
Weeks 1–4: Pain begins to lessen, and mobility starts to improve. You may notice reduced stiffness and more comfort in daily movements.
Weeks 4–12: The regenerative effects kick in. Tendons and tissues begin rebuilding, and you’ll likely experience noticeable, sustained pain relief and strength gains.

For chronic or severe shoulder issues, we may recommend a series of 2–3 PRP treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results.

Supporting Your Healing at Tulsi Wellness Club

PRP therapy is most effective when paired with a holistic, personalized plan. At Tulsi Wellness Club, we guide your healing with:

Targeted supplements: Like turmeric, omega-3s, and collagen builders
Post-treatment nutrition: To reduce inflammation and optimize recovery
Physical therapy referrals: To safely restore strength and range of motion
Mind-body support: Because stress affects healing too
Advanced options: Including ozone therapy, IV drips, or EBOO for systemic support

We believe in treating the root cause—not just the symptom—and helping your whole system find balance.
