Whether you’re carrying your briefcase, reaching for the highest shelf, or doing pushups at the gym, your shoulders are essential to various daily motions. So, when shoulder discomfort creeps in, it can quickly disrupt your routine.
In the past, surgery was one of the only available treatment options for chronic shoulder pain that doesn’t respond to conservative methods. Now, we can alleviate shoulder discomfort from a range of conditions with stem cell therapy!
Read on to learn more about stem cell therapy for common types of shoulder pain.
Common Types of Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can result from a variety of conditions and injuries, including:
Osteoarthritis
Also known as “wear and tear” arthritis, osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions the joints wears away. This causes increased friction and inflammation inside the joint. Symptoms of shoulder osteoarthritis include shoulder pain, stiffness, and swelling.
Tendinitis
Shoulder tendinitis involves inflammation of the biceps tendon or rotator cuff. It’s a common sports injury, but can also result from day-to-day overuse. Symptoms include tenderness, achiness, soreness, and lost mobility in the shoulder.
Rotator Cuff Tears
Rotator cuff tears usually result from gradual wear and tear of the rotator cuff, such as repeated overhead motions. However, sudden falls can also tear the rotator cuff. With this injury, it may be difficult to lift your arm, and pain tends to worsen at night.
Stem Cell Therapy for Shoulder Discomfort
Stem cell therapy can help regenerate damaged shoulder tissue by stimulating the body’s natural repair process, providing lasting relief from pain, stiffness, and swelling. Stem cells can transform into various cells with specialized functions, making them an invaluable tool in regenerative medicine.
Non-surgical and drug-free, stem cells are an excellent alternative to invasive procedures for chronic shoulder discomfort. Schedule a free consultation at the Regenerative Orthopedic Institute to learn if it’s right for you!
