Treating Chronic Shoulder Pain
Total shoulder replacement surgery is a major operation carrying the inherent risks associated with anesthesia, surgery, and hospital-based infections.
AROmotion preserves your natural joint while effectively treating common conditions including Bone-on-Bone Osteoarthritis. Our approach enables patients to avoid scarring and a surgical recovery period.
Our treatment combines three nontraumatic medical modalities to achieve rapid and lasting pain relief, surpassing the outcomes of knee replacements.
Cut out the pain not the Joint
Understanding Shoulder Pain
Shoulder Pain Has Two Distinct Sources
Shoulder pain can originate from two distinct sources: rotator cuff tears and joint arthritis. If you're considering shoulder replacement surgery, it's likely due to arthritis rather than rotator cuff tears.
Rotator Cuff Tears Have Nothing to Do with Why You Are Having Your Total Shoulder Replacement
Rotator cuff tears are not the reason for total shoulder replacement surgery, and they are not repaired during the procedure. Despite their prevalence among individuals over 65, rotator cuff tears are seldom the leading cause of pain in patients with shoulder osteoarthritis. In most cases, Chondromalacia is the primary cause of pain.
Pain is not just a symptom, Pain is the root cause of osteoarthritis
You have knee pain and swelling because the hard type 2 articular cartilage that coats the ends of your bones has developed shallow spots or cavities, which deepen over time. As a result, the sensory nerves underneath become less protected and experience more pain when pressure is applied to those areas. The medical term for these cavities is chondromalacia (ICD code M94.26), which is also used to bill for a total knee replacement operation.
Replacement Surgery is the Only Tool Orthopedic Surgery Has to Treat Osteoarthritis Pain
Whether you have simple arthritic pain from chondromalacia or a mechanically compromised joint, orthopedic surgeons have just one tool in their toolbox. It's like going to a dentist who doesn't know how to do a filling or root canal, so everyone gets a crown!
The AROmotion Treatment: The Only Proven, Long-Lasting, Non-Traumatic Solution for Osteoarthritis Pain
Our single-visit treatment combines three noninvasive and nontraumatic medical modalities to achieve rapid and lasting pain relief. Developed by a collaborative team of physicians, surgeons, and university scientists, its efficacy has been confirmed through the analysis of WOMAC data from our patients, spanning over 7 years of clinical treatment. The procedure is performed in-office without the need for general anesthesia or incisions. Patients can conveniently walk in and out on the same day, leaving with only a few band-aids and an ice pack.

Shoulder Conditions Treated
Our board-certified medical doctors can review your medical case and images to determine if you might be a candidate for our minimally invasive treatments.
Shoulder Osteoarthritis
Shoulder osteoarthritis is a condition that wears down the hyaline cartilage on the ends of joint bones, creating cavities in the protective shell around nerve endings. This deterioration, medically known as chondromalacia, is similar to experiencing a toothache.
Bone-on-bone Shoulder Pain
You may have heard the phrase “bone-on-bone” to describe your situation. As the shoulder is a ball and socket joint. Over time, however, the hyaline cartilage on the end of bones can wear thin, forming cavities and exposing sensitive nerves.
Rotator Cuff Tear
Despite their prevalence among individuals over 65, rotator cuff tears are seldom the leading cause of pain in patients with shoulder osteoarthritis, and they're not repaired during the procedure. In most cases, Chondromalacia is the primary cause of pain.
Labral Tear
Most people over the age of 60 have some degree of meniscus tearing, fraying or degeneration. Depending on the type of tear, some patients may be able to heal with RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation), pain relief medication and physical therapy.
Bone spurs in the Shoulder
Over time, bone spurs occur to protect and stabilize the sides of the joint. Most people form bone spurs and could go years without symptoms. For some, however, bone spurs may reduce a joint’s range of motion despite having a functional joint.

Patient Success Story
“My name is Frank and this is my story. My right knee cartilage was gone. I was bone-to-bone. The pain was unbearable. I went to doctors and they wanted to do surgery they wanted to cut out my knee. I didn’t want to go that way. ARO changed my life. I had the procedure done and now I’m riding, no pain. It’s like I started a new chapter in my life. It’s a miracle, it really is that I’m back cycling. It’s like my dream come true.”
