Frozen Shoulder (Shoulder Stiffness) Treatment in ORTHOBIOSCIENCE
About the clinic
Frozen shoulder care at ORTHOBIOSCIENCE in La Romana, Dominican Republic, includes evaluation, rehabilitation, and non-surgical therapies. The government-recognized center brings orthopedic surgeons, physiatrists, physiotherapists, and clinical psychologists together, with the eastern region’s only high-pressure hyperbaric chamber.
Four diagnostic options
- Orthopedic consultation and evaluation: assesses shoulder stiffness and supports treatment planning.
- Musculoskeletal ultrasound: uses sonography to examine muscles and other shoulder tissues.
- Electromyography and nerve conduction studies: check muscle and nerve activity.
- Physiatry evaluation: reviews physical function and rehabilitation needs.
Treatment options include the Super Inductive System
- Regenerative medicine: uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the patient’s blood, or mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow or adipose tissue. These therapies are intended to support tissue repair and reduce chronic inflammation.
- Ozonotherapy: applies medical ozone to address joint and chronic pain. It may be used alone or alongside other treatments.
- Therapeutic infiltrations: deliver therapeutic substances into the affected joint for targeted pain relief and local anti-inflammatory effects.
- Super Inductive System (SIS): stimulates deep nerves and muscles to help reduce pain and improve movement.
- Focal shock wave therapy: applies acoustic energy to tendon, bone, and chronic musculoskeletal problems, with minimal discomfort.
- Physical therapy and advanced rehabilitation: uses a personalized plan to restore mobility, strength, and function.
- Physiatry: supports physical function, reduces disability, and helps with return to social and work activities.
- Chiropractic massage: addresses muscle tension and contractures while supporting flexibility and blood flow.
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: delivers 100% oxygen under pressure to support recovery of damaged tissue.

ORTHOBIOSCIENCE: more details about the clinic
ORTHOBIOSCIENCE is a multi-specialty center in La Romana, Dominican Republic. It opened in June 2017 and operates from a dedicated building with nine specialized departments. The clinic focuses on orthopedics, regenerative medicine, and rehabilitation for musculoskeletal injuries.
Advanced Orthopedic and Regenerative Services
The Ortopedia y Traumatología department diagnoses and prevents injuries affecting bones, joints, and nerves. The center treats a wide range of orthopedic conditions:
- Scoliosis and spinal cord injuries
- Osteoarthritis and arthrosis
- Frozen shoulder
- Musculoskeletal sports injuries
Each treatment plan is personalized to help patients regain mobility and function. Orthopedic surgeons work alongside physical therapists and clinical nutritionists.
The Regenerative Medicine unit offers non-surgical options to repair damaged tissues. These treatments stimulate natural healing with biological materials:
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy using growth factors
- Stem cell therapy using bone marrow and adipose tissue
- Ozonotherapy for joint pain and arthrosis
- Therapeutic infiltrations
These methods are less invasive than traditional surgery. Patients often experience reduced pain and faster tissue regeneration.
The Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation department is led by specialists with decades of experience. Dr. Maximo Alejandro Abreu Reyna brings 20 years of expertise to the team. The department uses a biopsychosocial model to support patients' return to daily life.
Neuromuscular Diagnostics and Urology
The clinic performs Electromyography for patients with nerve or muscle symptoms. This test measures electrical activity in muscles and nerve conduction, so it helps identify neuromuscular disorders that cause weakness or pain.
The Urology service covers the urinary and male reproductive systems. Dr. David Yambatis Sanguiste leads this department after training in laparoscopic and robotic surgery. The team treats:
- Kidney stones
- Urinary tract infections
- Urological cancers
Pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound support diagnostic accuracy. The clinic also offers urodynamic testing to evaluate bladder and urethral function.
Technology and Specialized Equipment
The clinic uses advanced equipment for musculoskeletal recovery. Key therapeutic platforms include:
- Super Inductive System (SIS) – stimulates deep nerves and muscles to reduce pain
- High-Pressure Hyperbaric Chamber – delivers pure oxygen to heal chronic wounds
- Focal Shock Waves – uses acoustic energy to treat tendon and bone injuries
- Nordic Track – integrated into physical rehabilitation protocols
- Combined Therapy Equipment – offers mixed therapeutic signals for recovery
Hyperbaric therapy works well for complex injuries like diabetic ulcers and burns. The high-pressure environment speeds healing in tissue with poor blood flow.
International Training and Patient Services
The clinic hosts scientific events like the International Symposium of Regenerative Medicine. Dr. Ramon Antonio Saldaña Matar contributes to these programs. He is certified by the Mexican Society of Orthopedics and Traumatology.
The facility is officially recognized by the Dominican Republic government. International coordination and consultations are conducted in Spanish. Clinical psychology support helps patients through the mental aspects of recovery.
