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 dedicated La Mesa practice. 

Catering to a rising demand for non-surgical orthobiologic options across Greater San Diego, the enhanced protocol utilizes cutting-edge, in-office musculoskeletal ultrasound technology designed to deliver blood platelets directly to damaged shoulder tissues with pinpoint accuracy.

As a leading specialist with over 5,000 successful shoulder procedures performed, Dr. DuBois addresses a critical turning point for individuals suffering from chronic shoulder conditions. While many orthopedic practices rely on "blind" anatomical landmarks for injections, Dr. DuBois leverages his extensive experience as a national physician-educator in musculoskeletal ultrasound to guide regenerative treatments in real time. This protocol is intended to ensure that the concentrated growth factors are deposited precisely into partial rotator cuff tears, the subacromial bursa, or the glenohumeral joint space rather than surrounding healthy tissue.

"Many patients are surprised to learn that surgery isn't always the mandatory first step for painful shoulder injuries," said Dr. Benjamin 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 own blood in a specialized centrifuge to isolate and concentrate the platelets, which are rich in natural growth proteins. When reintroduced to the injured shoulder under real-time ultrasound monitoring, these growth factors are intended to help support the body's natural cellular repair mechanisms.

The expanded PRP protocol is tailored specifically for active adults, athletes, and seniors in the San Diego region dealing with:

• Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears

• Chronic shoulder bursitis and tendinitis

• Mild-to-moderate shoulder osteoarthritis and cartilage wear

• Biceps tendinopathy

By establishing an in-office orthobiologic care pathway, Dr. DuBois offers patients a non-surgical alternative designed for minimal downtime compared to invasive operations. Patients are typically able to return to light daily activities shortly following the procedure, depending on their individual response to treatment.
