What is the difference between stem cell and PRP therapy?

Stem cell therapy is a more advanced treatment compared to PRP Therapy. PRP Therapy recruits growth factors in the injured area to aid in healing. Stem cell therapy not only does the same thing that PRP offers, which is initiating the body's repair response, it also enhances stem cell activity for regeneration.

Women are more prone to frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) due to a combination of hormonal, metabolic, and anatomical factors. Here’s why:

1. Hormonal Influence
Frozen shoulder is more common in women between 40-60 years old, particularly during perimenopause and menopause. Estrogen fluctuations may contribute to increased inflammation and stiffness in the shoulder joint.

2. Higher Prevalence of Autoimmune and Endocrine Disorders
Women are more likely to have thyroid disorders (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism), which are strongly linked to frozen shoulder. Diabetes, which affects collagen structure and healing, is also more common in women and is a major risk factor.

3. Differences in Connective Tissue and Joint Laxity
Women's connective tissues and joint structures may have different mechanical properties, making them more susceptible to fibrosis and stiffness in the shoulder capsule.

4. Higher Incidence of Post-Surgical and Immobility-Related Cases
Women are more likely to develop frozen shoulder after breast cancer surgery (mastectomy, lumpectomy, or radiation therapy) due to post-surgical immobility.
Rotator cuff injuries, fractures, or prolonged immobility (e.g., after surgery or injury) can also trigger the condition.

5. Increased Risk of Chronic Inflammation
Women are more affected by chronic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, which can contribute to joint stiffness and pain.

For the last several months, insurance companies have been denying some procedure claims based on what their AI bots have determined to be a logical reason. These claims have been covered previously and are typically unfounded.

Dr. Gobezie asks his patients to take action by holding insurance companies responsible for the improper use of AI bots in processing claims. The healthy way to make change is through legitimate action. Visit https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative and contact your state representatives today to make your voice heard.

Dr. Gobezie is an esteemed shoulder surgeon and the managing director of Cleveland Orthopedic & Spine Institute in Mayfield Heights, Ohio. He is also the founder of Cleveland Shoulder Institute. Visit cleorthopedics.com or clevelandshoulder.com to learn more.

It IS 100% TRUE that barometric pressure impacts joint pain and arthritis. When the weather gets cooler, the synovial fluid that acts like motor oil in our joints becomes more like sludge. To help ease your aches during this frigid time of year, try the following:

- Stay warm
- Stretch
- Eat Well
- Watch your Vitamin D

If venturing out in the weather, watch your footing. A simple tumble can greatly impact your joint pain.

Cleveland Shoulder Institute

We are Shoulder & Elbow Care Experts

The Cleveland Shoulder Institute treats patients with all types of shoulder and elbow disorders resulting from arthritis, typical wear and tear of aging, as well as from traumatic and sports-related injuries. Led by nationally recognized Orthopedic Surgeon Reuben Gobezie, MD, the institute provides both surgical and non-operative treatments. Our first line of treatment is always a non-surgical approach to treating pain.

Vast Experience

Dr. Gobezie is one of the country’s top specialists in advanced arthroscopic and open surgical techniques to restore damaged joints, ligaments and bones. He is also one of the most experienced and highest volume shoulder surgeons in the country. A number of studies have shown that surgical volume, the number of surgeries a surgeon performs each year, is a strong predictor of better patient outcomes. The more times that a doctor and his surgical team perform a surgery, the better the results for patients. In a typical year, Dr. Gobezie performs more than 400 shoulder replacements and 600 arthroscopic procedures. For comparison, most general orthopedic surgeons typically perform around 20 shoulder surgeries per year. When selecting a surgeon, be sure to ask how many times the doctor has performed the procedure you need to have done.
