In the U.S., more than two million people experience rotator cuff injuries each year. A rotator cuff injury is a type of shoulder injury. It involves the muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint. Your rotator cuff has a very specific role. It holds the ball of your upper arm bone in the shoulder socket and helps you lift and rotate your arm.
If you’re experiencing a dull ache deep in your shoulder, noticeable arm weakness, difficulty lifting your arm or pain so severe it is keeping you awake at night, these are definitely signs of a rotator cuff injury.
Rotator cuff tears can even sometimes lead to the need for shoulder replacement, especially if you are dealing with a massive tear that cannot be repaired or when a rotator cuff injury leads to a certain type of arthritis.
Stem Cell Therapy can be quite effective in reducing the symptoms that come with an injured or torn rotator cuff – and may bring healing that allows you to avoid or delay rotator cuff surgery or shoulder replacement.

Orthopaedic stem cell therapy is a leading-edge Regenerative Medicine treatment that triggers your body’s intrinsic self-healing abilities. It uses the body’s natural repair mechanisms and growth factors to ease rotator cuff pain, relieving symptoms and slowing any worsening of the damage. If a significant tear is left untreated, the shoulder ball moves up and rubs against the bone above it, grinding away the cartilage. This causes a painful condition called cuff tear arthropathy.
Stem Cell Therapy for Shoulder Rotator Cuff Injuries is a non-invasive alternative for patients seeking to address rotator cuff pain, inflammation and loss of function.
By injecting stem cells into damaged and injured parts of the shoulder joint’s rotator cuff, these stem cells stimulate repair and regeneration as well as relieving pain and inflammation. Injured cells in your shoulder’s rotator cuff send out signals, and stem cells then respond by migrating to the injured tissue and releasing proteins (exosomes) that nourish and stimulate your own cells to begin regenerating.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can assist with the regeneration of various damaged tissues, and they have the capacity to differentiate into cartilage, ligament, or bone cells. MSCs are adult stem cells that are most often harvested from:
These MSCs are referred to as "adult" stem cells because they are harvested from sources other than embryos, reducing the ethical concerns with embryonic stem cells.
This therapy offers the most benefits to patients with mild to moderate damage to the shoulder’s rotator cuff. Stem Cell Therapy offers a range of benefits, including:
We will develop a personalized treatment plan that will create benefits designed specifically for you!
Once we determine you are a suitable candidate for Stem Cell Therapy for Shoulder Rotator Cuff Injuries, we will develop a comprehensive treatment plan. Our first step will be to conduct an initial consultation and review your medical and family history. We may require testing or imaging, but we will discuss with you why it may be necessary before we proceed.
Once your Stem Cell Therapy sessions begin, it typically takes two to three months for injured tissue to regenerate. However, results may vary depending on your pain levels, your overall health condition and how your body responds to the treatment.
We use Stem Cell Therapy not simply for your shoulder and rotator cuff injuries, but for muscle pain, torn ligaments, sprains, tendon inflammation, arthritis and any pain in the hip, knee, shoulder, back or neck as well.
We offer advanced diagnostics. With precision testing, we are able to customize your care down to your unique biology. With our premium interventions, you will benefit from innovative therapies like stem cells, but also platelet-rich plasma (PRP), EmSculpt Neo body sculpting, and AO scans – and more!
Frequently, lifestyle modifications are encouraged during the healing process, most often involving your diet, physical activity and supplementation with certain nutrients.
