Shoulder pain has a way of showing up in the small moments: reaching for a cabinet, putting on a jacket, sleeping on one side. If rest, physical therapy, or cortisone injections have only helped temporarily, regenerative medicine may offer a path that addresses the underlying tissue damage rather than quieting the symptom for a few weeks at a time.
At Haven Medspa, Dr. Virpal Thiara uses stem cell therapy, PRP, and exosome therapy to treat chronic shoulder conditions, with a focus on rotator cuff injuries and shoulder arthritis.
If your specific diagnosis is not listed here, that does not rule you out. Schedule a consultation and Dr. Thiara will give you an honest read on whether regenerative pain treatment is the best fit for helping relieve your shoulder pain.
Dr. Thiara builds a protocol around your imaging, your history, and how far the joint or tendon damage has progressed, drawing from three regenerative tools.
Rotator cuff and tendon injuries often respond best to a layered approach, so Dr. Thiara frequently pairs two of these tools, adjusting the combination once she sees how your shoulder moves and feels a few weeks in.
introduces allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells, sourced from umbilical cord tissue, to support tendon and tissue repair and reduce chronic inflammation in the joint.
Learn Moreconcentrates growth factors from your own blood and delivers them directly to the injury site, a widely used option in orthopedics for rotator cuff and tendon injuries.
Learn Moreadds a signaling layer that can be used on its own or alongside stem cells to strengthen the regenerative response.
Learn MoreTreatment starts with a consultation, a review of your imaging and treatment history, and a direct conversation about what regenerative medicine can realistically offer your shoulder. The injection itself is targeted and typically takes well under an hour, with no general anesthesia and minimal downtime for most patients.
Meaningful improvement usually develops over four to eight weeks as inflammation resolves and tissue repair progresses. A follow-up visit checks range of motion and strength against your starting point, and the plan shifts if the shoulder isn’t tracking the way Dr. Thiara expected.
The best candidates have usually tried physical therapy, bracing, or cortisone without lasting relief and want to explore a regenerative option before committing to surgery.
Some patients use these protocols to avoid a rotator cuff repair altogether. Others use them to stay active and delay surgery.
Dr. Thiara will tell you plainly where you fall on that spectrum.
We've got answers!
For some patients, yes. It is not a substitute for surgery in every case, particularly with full-thickness tears, but many patients with partial tears, tendonitis, or arthritis have used regenerative treatment to reduce pain and regain function enough to delay or avoid an operation. Dr. Thiara will assess whether that is realistic based on your imaging.
Partial tears and tendonitis often respond to one or two sessions spaced several weeks apart. More advanced rotator cuff damage sometimes calls for a longer series. Dr. Thiara will map this out after reviewing your imaging rather than quoting a standard package.
Most patients keep using the arm normally the same day, though Dr. Thiara may ask you to ease off heavy lifting or overhead reaching for a short stretch while the area settles. She will give you specific activity guidance based on what was treated.
Yes. Dr. Thiara frequently combines PRP and Stem cell therapy for rotator cuff and tendon injuries to strengthen the overall regenerative response. She will recommend the right combination for your specific case during your consultation.

“I have been a client of Dr.Thiara for a couple years and for multiple services. She is kind, thorough, and skilled. Brittney, the office assistant is extremely friendly and SO accommodating. Very satisfied with my experience at Haven Medspa!”
“Haven Med Spa is an awesome facility offering a wide variety of services. Staff and Dr. are very personable and knowledgeable providing a high level of comfort. I have been coming to Haven for various services for approximately 8 months and would without a doubt recommend. Very satisfied.”
Dr. Thiara is one of the most sweetest and understanding doctors I know! I went to her in 2022 after my sister recommended her to me and safe to say it was the best decision I ever made. The doctor is very attentive and willing to listen to all your concerns. I was dealing with painful hormonal acne and was prescribed hormonal medications, retinol, and skin care products catered to my skin type all in one visit.
Very nice staff and Doctor, clean office, overall great experience. She takes her time and listens to what you want and also explains what will work best for you and makes sure you are numb. Little to no pain.
“Haven Medspa is just an amazing place! Been working on some weight loss goals for some time. Haven is helping me achieve my goals and I feel amazing! Dr. Thiara is so professional and Brittany is so helpful and kind! Run, don’t walk to Haven if you have something you want help with – consults are free! 5 stars only because I can’t click 10!”
I’m so glad to have found a LOCAL Med Spa that carries top notch products I normally have to order online and delivers on superb service. Highly recommend!
Loved my experience – Dr. Thiara is wonderful! She listens to what you want and does not push anything extra or tries to sell you on “more” which I really appreciated. I wanted a very minimal natural look and it’s exactly what I feel like I got. She is also VERY responsive and called me herself for reassurance on something I was not sure about. Would recommend 100 percent.
