Understanding Subacromial Bursitis
Subacromial bursitis is inflammation of the bursa located beneath the acromion, the topmost part of the shoulder blade. This bursa cushions the rotator cuff tendons but can become irritated from repetitive overhead activities, injury, or degenerative changes.
Symptoms include:
- Persistent shoulder pain, especially when lifting the arm or reaching overhead
- Tenderness and swelling near the outer shoulder
- Limited range of motion and stiffness
Epidemiological data shows that up to 20% of adults with shoulder pain are diagnosed with bursitis. Timely intervention using regenerative therapies significantly enhances recovery and reduces the risk of chronic pain.
Research Papers: Advancing Evidence-Based Treatment
Our clinical approach is informed by the latest evidence, including:
- “Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Management of Shoulder Bursitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial,” Journal of Orthopedic Research, 2023
- “Stem Cell Applications for Shoulder Soft Tissue Repair,” Regenerative Medicine Journal, 2022
These peer-reviewed studies underpin the safety and effectiveness of biologic therapies offered at our Los Angeles clinic.

Regenerative Treatment Options for Subacromial Bursitis
Our therapies harness the body’s natural healing ability to relieve pain and restore function:
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP involves concentrating growth factors from your own blood to target inflammation in the subacromial bursa. Ultrasound guidance ensures precise delivery, resulting in:
- Reduced pain and swelling
- Enhanced tissue repair
- Improved shoulder mobility
Clinical studies demonstrate over 75% patient satisfaction with PRP treatment for shoulder bursitis symptoms.
Stem Cell Therapy
For more persistent or advanced cases, stem cell therapy provides potent regenerative capabilities to promote long-term healing of inflamed bursae and surrounding tissues.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Repetitive overhead movements, shoulder injuries, or degenerative changes can inflame the subacromial bursa.
