Shoulder osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that develops when the protective cartilage cushioning the shoulder joint wears down over time. As cartilage deteriorates, the bones begin to rub against each other—causing pain, stiffness, swelling, and loss of mobility.
This condition can make even simple daily activities difficult, but with the right approach, long-term relief and restored function are possible. At Aven Clinic, we focus on advanced, non-surgical therapies that support natural healing and joint preservation.
Several factors can contribute to the development of shoulder osteoarthritis:
as cartilage naturally wears down over time
with family history increasing risk
such as fractures or dislocations
from sports, physical labor, or overhead movements
including rheumatoid arthritis
Symptoms can vary in intensity but commonly include:
Deep, aching pain in the shoulder, worse with activity or after rest
Stiffness and reduced range of motion
Swelling or inflammation around the joint
Grinding or clicking sensations during movement
Weakness, making everyday tasks more challenging
Physical therapy to strengthen surrounding muscles and improve mobility
Medications such as NSAIDs for pain and inflammation
Lifestyle modifications, including activity adjustments and weight management
Corticosteroid injections for temporary pain relief
At Aven Clinic, we prioritize regenerative therapies that use your body’s natural biology to restore function and slow joint degeneration. Two of the most effective options are Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy and Stem Cell Therapy.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Uses concentrated platelets from your own blood
Stimulates cartilage repair and reduces inflammation
Minimally invasive with little downtime
Stem Cell Therapy
Harvests stem cells from bone marrow or fat tissue
Regenerates damaged cartilage by differentiating into new cells
Reduces pain and inflammation while promoting natural healing
Faster recovery, so you can return to daily life sooner
Fewer risks, avoiding infection and anesthesia complications
Long-lasting outcomes, since treatments address root causes and encourage natural repair
Compared to surgical interventions, regenerative therapies offer powerful advantages:
These therapies are especially beneficial for:
Patients with early-to-moderate shoulder osteoarthritis
