Beyond PRP: The SIGMA Difference in Shoulder Regeneration

At SIGMA Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, our mission is to help patients heal faster, move better, and avoid unnecessary surgery. While platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment is a proven biologic treatment, it represents only one part of a much larger biologic ecosystem available through our SIGMA Orthobiologics Lab in Bayonne, NJ.

Our proprietary SynerG™ Orthobiologics Platform takes the healing principles of PRP and enhances them with additional biologic components and advanced processing technology — all under the precision standards of Harvard-trained surgical expertise and Six Sigma process control.

How Platelet Plasma (PRP) Works

PRP therapy uses a small sample of your own blood, concentrating platelets rich in growth factors and healing proteins. These platelets are then injected directly into the damaged shoulder tissue to stimulate repair and reduce inflammation.
Over the following weeks, patients experience gradual improvement in comfort, mobility, and strength — often avoiding the risks and downtime associated with surgery.

PRP helps to:

• Improve shoulder mobility and function
  
  
• Reduce inflammation and swelling
  
  
• Stimulate collagen and tendon regeneration
  Support natural recovery without foreign substances
  
  

At SIGMA, we often use PRP as an entry point for biologic evaluation — the first step in determining whether a patient’s condition may benefit from SynerG™ advanced biologic treatment.

The Next Level: SynerG™ Orthobiologics from the SIGMA Lab

While PRP works at the surface level of healing, SynerG™ Orthobiologics combines three biologic powerhouses to address deeper layers of joint and tendon health:

This multi-layered biologic synergy helps the body rebuild damaged tissue, balance the inflammatory response, and preserve joint health — not just for short-term relief, but for long-term restoration.

Inside the SIGMA Orthobiologics Lab: Science Meets Surgical Precision

Located within Bayonne University Hospital, the SIGMA Orthobiologics Lab is a hospital-grade biologic facility where every PRP and SynerG™ sample is processed to exact standards of concentration, purity, and sterility.

Our process includes:

• Closed-loop centrifugation for precise platelet and stem cell isolation
  
  
• Quantitative analysis of platelet and cell density before injection
  
  
• Image-guided delivery using ultrasound or fluoroscopy for pinpoint accuracy
  
  
• Integration into the SIGMA Scoreboard™, our data platform that tracks recovery metrics over time
  
  

This scientific rigor ensures that your biologic treatment is not only personalized but objectively measurable — a reflection of SIGMA’s commitment to Excellence Defined by Outcomes™.

When to Choose PRP vs. SynerG™

At SIGMA, every patient undergoes a Comprehensive Orthobiologic Assessment before treatment, ensuring we choose the exact biologic formulation and delivery method that aligns with your diagnosis, tissue condition, and performance goals.

What to Expect During Your Biologic Procedure

1. Precision Evaluation: Your orthopedic surgeon and biologic specialist assess your shoulder with advanced imaging and biomechanical testing.
   
   
2. Sample Collection: A small amount of blood (and if indicated, bone marrow aspirate) is collected under sterile conditions.
   
   
3. Processing: The sample is refined in the SIGMA Lab to achieve an exact concentration of growth factors and regenerative cells.
   
   
4. Targeted Delivery: Using ultrasound guidance, the biologic solution is injected directly into the damaged tissue.
   
   
5. Recovery: Mild soreness for 24–48 hours is normal; most patients resume light activity immediately and begin progressive rehabilitation under the 100-Day Success™ Program.
   
   

Results and Recovery: Data-Driven Healing

Recovery unfolds naturally and is tracked through objective metrics rather than subjective timelines.

Typical milestones:

• Week 1: Decrease in inflammation and stiffness
  
  
• Weeks 3–6: Gradual strength and range-of-motion gains
  
  
• Weeks 8–12: Functional restoration, improved endurance, measurable pain reduction
  
  
• Ongoing: Biologic remodeling continues for months, supported by our SIGMA Scoreboard™ system
  
  

This structured, outcome-based recovery model ensures every patient’s progress is quantified, not guessed.
