TABLE OF CONTENTS
Regenerative Orthopedics for Shoulder Pain
The shoulder is a complex joint responsible for a wide range of upper body movement. It consists of bones (clavicle, scapula, humerus), joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons that work together for stability and motion. Key joints include the glenohumeral joint (connecting the humerus and scapula), acromioclavicular joint (between the scapula and clavicle), and the sternoclavicular joint (clavicle and sternum), all vital for shoulder movement.
Muscles like the deltoid, rotator cuff, and trapezius stabilize the joint and support movement, while ligaments (acromioclavicular, coracoclavicular, and glenohumeral) provide structural support. Tendons of the rotator cuff, bicep, and pectoralis play a crucial role in movement by connecting muscles to bones.

Shoulder Treatment Options in Philadelphia
At Meeting Point Health, we take a comprehensive and personalized approach to treating shoulder pain, focusing on reducing pain, restoring function, and addressing the condition’s root cause. Our treatment plans combine advanced regenerative medicine techniques with holistic care to promote long-lasting healing. Contact Meeting Point Health today to schedule your personalized consultation and start your journey to relief. Your path to recovery begins here!
Prolotherapy therapy is a medical injection procedure whose goal is to relieve pain and promote healing of musculoskeletal conditions, especially involving ligaments, joints, and tendons Prolotherapy stimulates healing, causes inflammatory responses that increase blood flow and the arrival of immune cells and growth factors to the injection area, and tissue repair.
Platelet-rich plasma PRP therapy is a medical treatment that involves the use of a patient’s own blood to promote healing and tissue regeneration. Once injected, the growth factors and other bioactive substances in PRP work to accelerate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote the formation of new blood vessels. This helps in reducing pain, improving function, and enhancing the overall healing process.
Stem cell injection therapy refers to a medical procedure in which stem cells are harvested and then injected into a localized area on a patient’s body, typically to promote tissue repair, and regeneration, or to treat various medical conditions. Stem cells are unique because they can develop into different types of cells in the body, and they also have the capacity for self-renewal. This makes them valuable in medical treatments, as they can potentially replace or repair damaged or diseased tissues. Stem cell injection therapy can treat arthritic joints, sports injuries, tendinopathies, non-union fractures, meniscal tears, Degenerative Disc Disease, and Osteonecrosis or Avascular Necrosis.
Prolozone therapy is a mixture of ozone gas and a prolotherapy solution is injected into the affected area, often around joints, ligaments, or tendons. The theory is that this combination not only irritates and strengthens the tissues (like prolotherapy) but also delivers the potential therapeutic benefits of ozone, such as improved circulation and tissue oxygenation. Prolozone combines procaine, dextrose, B vitamins, saline, oxygen, and ozone into a damaged joint and the combination allows for regrowth of damaged tissue.
Nerve hydrodissection is a minimally invasive medical procedure involving injecting an anti-inflammatory solution around an entrapped nerve. Injectables such as dextrose, vitamins, peptides, plasma, procaine, and even stem cells are flooded around compressed or irritated nerves. This technique aims to separate the affected nerve from surrounding structures, such as muscles, fascia, or scar tissue, which may be contributing to the pain or dysfunction.
Peptide Therapy can be introduced as an at-home treatment. Peptide therapy introduces peptides to signal communication with our cells to perform a specific response. Administrating peptides elicits a response to regulate or improve physiological functions. For regenerative medicine, peptides for wound recovery, and tissue repair, reduce inflammation, accelerate recovery time, and promote cell migration and differentiation.
How to diagnose a shoulder injury?
At Meeting Point Health, Dr. Matta begins shoulder pain treatment with a thorough assessment, including a medical history review, physical exam, and ultrasound diagnostics. He evaluates symptoms, mobility limitations, and any previous injuries. The physical exam includes orthopedic, functional movement, and neurokinetic assessments. Using ultrasound, Dr. Matta examines the internal structures of the shoulder to recommend personalized treatment options for shoulder pain relief.

Does Meeting Point Health accept insurance?
Meeting Point Health does not accept insurance.
Our practitioners and staff fully understand and empathize with the challenges that patients face as they make financial decisions for proper health care. Our practice is very different from a conventional medical practice in many ways, but the time spent with each patient is usually 30-90 minutes. Visits with a physician covered by insurance generally allow for less than 10 minutes in total! Conventional medical practices that take insurance maintain brief office visits and high patient loads for this reason. We cannot provide the expert care that every one of our patients deserves under those circumstances.
Insurance also dictates the types of treatments and order of treatments patients can receive for a particular condition.
Opting out of insurance allows the patient and the doctor to maintain their medical autonomy, which is imperative to ensure you get the right treatment at the right time and the right dose.
Can I get an insurance reimbursement?
