Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can make even simple movements—lifting groceries, reaching overhead, getting dressed—feel difficult or impossible. Because the shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, it’s also one of the most vulnerable to injury, overuse, and degenerative conditions.
Dr. Anthony Carabasi, at Greentree Medical Center provides safe, non-surgical treatments designed to address the root cause of your shoulder pain rather than simply masking symptoms.
Whether the problem stems from a sports injury, arthritis, rotator cuff damage, or repetitive strain, our goal is to reduce inflammation, restore joint function, and help you return to your daily activities without discomfort.
Find the source. Restore function. Move freely again.

Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
Some of the most common issues we see at our clinic include:
- Rotator cuff injuries and tears
- Bursitis
- Tendonitis
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Shoulder arthritis
- Labral tears
- Impingement syndrome
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Postural imbalances affecting the shoulder joint
- Strains and sprains
Chiropractic Care for Shoulder Pain Relief
Shoulder pain is often linked to joint misalignments, muscle tightness, or nerve irritation in the neck and upper back. After a thorough evaluation to pinpoint the source of your discomfort, Dr. Carabasi may recommend a combination of therapies, such as:
- Chiropractic Adjustments & Active Release Technique (ART) – Gentle adjustments improve joint alignment, while ART targets soft tissue restrictions to reduce tension and enhance flexibility.
- Laser Therapy (K-Laser) – Uses targeted light energy to reduce inflammation, stimulate cell repair, and accelerate recovery.
- Shockwave Therapy (OrthoPulse) – Delivers acoustic waves to promote healing, improve circulation, and break down scar tissue.
- Trigger Point Injections (Serapin) – Plant-based injections that relax tight muscles and reduce inflammation without the side effects of corticosteroids.
These treatments are non-invasive, drug-free, and work together to relieve pain while promoting long-term joint health.
Regenerative Medicine for Severe or Chronic Shoulder Conditions
When shoulder pain is caused by advanced arthritis, degenerative changes, or chronic injuries that haven’t responded to other treatments, regenerative medicine offers a minimally invasive option that works at the cellular level to support healing.
Human Cellular Tissue Therapy
Sourced from Wharton’s jelly of donated umbilical cords, this therapy is packed with naturally occurring compounds that encourage tissue repair and reduce inflammation.
These include:
- Mesenchymal cells – Support regeneration of cartilage, tendons, and ligaments
- Growth factors – Signal the body to repair damaged tissue
- Cytokines – Regulate inflammation and immune response
- Extracellular matrix proteins – Provide structural support for tissue repair
- Hyaluronic acid – Improves joint lubrication and mobility
These regenerative components are delivered directly to the damaged shoulder tissues, where they work to restore function, reduce pain, and promote long-term joint health.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP therapy uses healing platelets from your own blood to stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation in the shoulder joint. The process is quick, safe, and performed right in our Cherry Hill pain management clinic:
- Blood Draw – A small sample of your blood is collected.
- Concentration – The sample is spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors.
- Targeted Injection – The concentrated PRP is injected into the injured or degenerated area of the shoulder, where it stimulates healing and supports tissue regeneration.
Over time, PRP therapy can improve shoulder stability, reduce pain, and help prevent further degeneration.
These regenerative medicine therapies can help reduce pain, restore mobility, and potentially prevent the need for surgery.
