Conditions We Treat
Shoulder Pain & Rotator Cuff Care
Fellowship-trained shoulder expertise — from minimally invasive arthroscopy to regenerative options for tendons that need help healing.
What are my options for shoulder pain?
Shoulder problems — rotator cuff injuries, arthritis, instability, sports overuse — respond best when the diagnosis is precise. Our evaluations combine examination with advanced imaging, and treatment centers on targeted rehabilitation and ultrasound-guided regenerative injections. When the tissue genuinely needs surgical repair, Dr. Matarazzo — more than 23 years of clinical and surgical experience in shoulder reconstruction — will discuss that path and coordinate the referral.

Patient Questions
Shoulder Pain FAQs
Do rotator cuff tears always need surgery?
No — many partial tears and tendinopathies improve with guided rehabilitation and biologic support. Complete tears in active patients are often referred for surgical repair; imaging and examination guide the call.
What regenerative options exist for shoulders?
PRP and other orthobiologics, delivered under ultrasound guidance, are used for rotator cuff tendinopathy and related soft-tissue problems.
What is regenerative medicine?
Regenerative medicine uses biologic therapies like PRP, cellular treatments, and peptides to repair tissues and stimulate natural healing.
Are regenerative treatments safe?
Most therapies use the patient’s own cells or biologic materials, making them minimally invasive and well-tolerated. Every plan is personalized and physician-supervised.
What conditions benefit from regenerative therapies?
They are used for arthritis, tendon injuries, ligament tears, soft tissue injuries, sports injuries, and chronic joint pain.
