Understanding Biceps Tendinitis
Biceps Tendinitis is an inflammation or irritation of the tendon that connects the biceps muscle to the shoulder, often due to repetitive overhead activity, shoulder instability, or degenerative changes. This condition commonly causes shoulder pain and limits arm mobility.
Symptoms include:
- Deep aching pain near the front of the shoulder
- Tenderness and swelling along the biceps tendon
- Difficulty lifting or rotating the arm
Studies show that up to 10% of adults with shoulder pain suffer from biceps tendinitis. Prompt regenerative treatment can accelerate healing and reduce the risk of tendon rupture.
Regenerative Treatment Options for Biceps Tendinitis
Our regenerative therapies harness the body’s natural healing processes to reduce inflammation and restore tendon function:
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of your blood, concentrating its healing growth factors, and injecting them into the affected tendon with ultrasound guidance. This precise delivery reduces pain, inflammation, and accelerates tissue repair. Clinical research reports over 70% of patients experience significant relief after PRP for biceps tendinitis.
Stem Cell Therapy
For more chronic or severe cases, stem cell therapy offers potent regenerative potential to rebuild damaged tendon fibers and improve long-term outcomes.
Research Papers: Advancing Evidence-Based Treatment
Our clinical approach is guided by current research, including:
- “Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Management of Biceps Tendinitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial,” Journal of Orthopedic Advances, 2023
- “Stem Cell Applications for Tendon Repair: Current Evidence,” Regenerative Medicine Insights, 2022
These peer-reviewed studies support the safety and effectiveness of the biologic therapies offered at the Stem Cell & PRP Institute of L.A.
