How Is Shoulder Pain Changing Your Day?
The activities you avoid—and the movements that bother you—are an important part of your story. Your evaluation gives you time to explain what has changed and what you want to work toward.
Reaching & Everyday Tasks
Does shoulder discomfort make it harder to reach overhead, get dressed, put away groceries, or lift everyday objects? Discuss which movements trigger discomfort and how they limit your routine.
Sleep & Daily Comfort
Does your shoulder ache at night or make it difficult to sleep on one side? Explain when the discomfort appears, which positions aggravate it, and whether it disrupts your rest.
Exercise, Work & Activities You Enjoy
Have you cut back on strength training, golf, tennis, gardening, work tasks, or family activities because of your shoulder? Share what you have stopped doing and what you would like to return to.
Your Experience Helps Guide the Evaluation
These experiences help guide the conversation, but they do not identify the cause on their own.
Dr. Goolsby considers your history, relevant findings, and available imaging before discussing whether
our services fit your needs.
A Closer Look at Your Shoulder.
A Clearer Understanding of Your Options.
Your 45-minute comprehensive consultation with regenerative medicine expert Trip Goolsby, MD, gives you dedicated time to discuss your shoulder pain and explore whether our regenerative medicine services fit your needs.
Your Symptoms & Movement
Discuss where your shoulder hurts, when the symptoms began, and whether the discomfort followed an injury or developed gradually. Explain any stiffness, weakness, clicking, catching, night pain, or difficulty reaching, lifting, or moving your arm.
Previous Care & Relevant Records
Review what you have already tried, including physical therapy, medications, injections, or surgery. Bring available X-ray, MRI, ultrasound, or other imaging reports and relevant medical records so previous findings can be considered alongside your current concerns.
Your Goals & Next Steps
Whether your priority is sleeping comfortably, getting dressed more easily, returning to exercise, or resuming work and recreational activities, your goals help guide the discussion. Review appropriate options, their potential benefits and risks, alternatives, and what follow-up would involve.
Our wellness coordinator can answer questions about scheduling and our services. Your physician evaluation is a separate appointment.
Exploring Regenerative Options for Shoulder Pain
At Infinite Health in Metairie, we have seen meaningful improvements in comfort, mobility, and function among appropriately selected patients receiving regenerative care for shoulder concerns. Individual results vary, and shoulder pain can have many different causes. Dr. Goolsby considers your diagnosis, medical history, imaging, previous care, and goals before recommending an approach.
Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy is an injection technique—not a manufactured biologic product. A physician places a solution into carefully selected joint, ligament, or tendon-attachment areas with the intention of stimulating a localized healing response.
For shoulder concerns, prolotherapy may be considered when chronic soft-tissue irritation, ligament or tendon involvement, or joint instability is part of the clinical picture. Dr. Goolsby explains the proposed solution, treatment locations, expected number of sessions, recovery considerations, potential benefits, and risks.
​
Wharton’s Jelly–Derived Products
Wharton’s Jelly–derived products are processed from donated umbilical-cord connective tissue. Their composition, processing, proposed use, and regulatory status can differ substantially from one product to another.
For appropriately selected shoulder concerns, Dr. Goolsby may discuss whether a specific tissue-derived product fits the clinical picture. Your consultation includes a review of the exact product being considered, its proposed purpose, sourcing and testing, available evidence, potential risks, alternatives, and regulatory status.
​
Exosome & Growth-Factor Approaches
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles involved in cell-to-cell communication, while growth factors are signaling proteins. These are distinct categories and should not be treated as interchangeable.
When an exosome or growth-factor approach is being considered, Dr. Goolsby discusses the specific product, why it may be relevant to your shoulder condition, what the available evidence does and does not establish, its regulatory status, potential risks, expected follow-up, and appropriate alternatives.
​
Clinical Experience. Individualized Recommendations.
Our positive clinical experience does not mean every patient or every shoulder condition will respond in the same way. Before proceeding, you should understand the recommended technique or product, expected costs, alternatives, recovery considerations, potential benefits and risks, and follow-up plan.
