San Diego Shoulder Specialist Introduces Ultrasound-Guided PRP Therapy for Non-Surgical Pain Relief

Dr. Benjamin DuBois, a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic shoulder specialist, has announced the implementation of an advanced, precision-targeted Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy program at his La Mesa practice. The enhanced protocol uses cutting-edge, in-office musculoskeletal ultrasound technology to deliver blood platelets directly to damaged shoulder tissues with pinpoint accuracy.

The program addresses a rising demand for non-surgical orthobiologic options across Greater San Diego. Dr. DuBois, who has performed over 5,000 successful shoulder procedures, leverages his experience as a national physician-educator in musculoskeletal ultrasound to guide regenerative treatments in real time. This approach ensures that concentrated growth factors are deposited precisely into partial rotator cuff tears, the subacromial bursa, or the glenohumeral joint space, avoiding healthy tissue.

“Many patients are surprised to learn that surgery isn’t always the mandatory first step for painful shoulder injuries,” said Dr. DuBois. “By utilizing advanced, high-resolution ultrasound guidance, we aim to pinpoint the microscopic areas of damage and inject a concentrated dose of the patient’s own natural healing factors. This minimally invasive approach has the potential to provide significant pain relief, help restore mobility, and may safely delay or altogether eliminate the need for traditional shoulder replacement or open rotator cuff surgery for qualifying patients.”

Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy works by spinning a small sample of the patient’s blood in a specialized centrifuge to isolate and concentrate platelets rich in natural growth proteins. When reintroduced to the injured shoulder under real-time ultrasound monitoring, these growth factors support the body’s natural cellular repair mechanisms.

The expanded PRP protocol is tailored for active adults, athletes, and seniors dealing with partial-thickness rotator cuff tears, chronic shoulder bursitis and tendinitis, mild-to-moderate shoulder osteoarthritis and cartilage wear, and biceps tendinopathy. By establishing an in-office orthobiologic care pathway, Dr. DuBois offers patients a non-surgical alternative with minimal downtime compared to invasive operations. Patients are typically able to return to light daily activities shortly after the procedure, depending on their individual response.
