Double board-certified sports medicine physician Dr. Joshua Rothenberg joins Drs. Robert Engelen, David Espinoza, and Jose Ramirez-Del Toro to give patients a practical, evidence-based roadmap for platelet-rich plasma treatment and rehabilitation.

Boca Raton, Fla. – Patients considering platelet-rich plasma therapy for shoulder pain now have a clearer path through the often-confusing world of regenerative medicine. In the new book, PRP for Shoulder Pain: A Patient’s Guide to Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy and Recovery, primary author Dr. Joshua Rothenberg, along with co-authors Dr. Robert Engelen, Dr. David Espinoza, and Dr. Jose Ramirez-Del Toro, provides an accessible guide to PRP treatment, shoulder recovery, and the rehabilitation process.

Written for patients rather than medical specialists, the book translates complex medical information into practical, understandable guidance. Readers learn what platelet-rich plasma therapy is, how it may be used to treat shoulder conditions, what to expect before, during, and after a procedure, and why a carefully structured rehabilitation plan can play a vital role in recovery.

The book is grounded in Dr. Rothenberg’s decade of clinical experience treating patients with shoulder pain and performing advanced procedures. It also presents the rehabilitation protocol that has produced the most consistent success among his patients over the past 10 years.

“When patients understand their diagnosis and treatment options, they are better prepared to participate in their own recovery,” said Dr. Rothenberg. “I wrote this book to remove the confusing medical jargon and provide clear, evidence-based information about PRP, the treatment process, and the rehabilitation that follows. My goal is to help patients ask better questions, make informed decisions, and approach recovery with greater confidence.”

The book is designed for individuals who are considering PRP for the first time, preparing for an upcoming procedure, recovering after treatment, or simply seeking a better understanding of their shoulder condition and available treatment options.

Unlike generalized online information, PRP for Shoulder Pain draws from the experience of physicians who evaluate and treat musculoskeletal conditions in daily clinical practice. The authors combine current scientific evidence with real-world patient care, rehabilitation strategies, and practical expectations.

Among the topics covered are:

  • The fundamentals of platelet-rich plasma therapy
  • Shoulder conditions that may be treated with PRP
  • What patients should expect before and during treatment
  • The recovery process following a PRP procedure
  • A step-by-step rehabilitation approach
  • Questions patients should ask their physicians
  • The importance of realistic expectations and active patient participation

The eBook edition is available free of charge, making evidence-based patient education more accessible to people exploring regenerative medicine and nonsurgical treatment options for shoulder pain. A print edition is also available for readers who prefer a physical reference throughout treatment and rehabilitation.

Dr. Rothenberg is double board-certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Miami and attended Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed his residency training at the University of Miami and fellowship training at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Throughout his career, Dr. Rothenberg has emphasized patient education and the responsible advancement of regenerative medicine, particularly platelet-rich plasma therapy. His approach combines scientific research, daily clinical experience, and individualized rehabilitation to help patients better understand their choices and take an active role in their care.

A Fort Lauderdale resident, Dr. Rothenberg is also a husband to his wife, Jenna, and the father of two daughters. His commitment to education reflects both his work as a physician and his belief that patients deserve information that is clear, honest, and useful.
