Stem Cell Therapy for Shoulder Pain
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably experienced shoulder pain, reduced mobility, or difficulty lifting your arm over your head. You probably miss activities like playing sports, swimming, or playing outdoor activities with your grandkids.
The thought of shoulder surgery seems intimidating, with a lengthy recovery time. If you want a solution that can restore the old you who can freely move without shoulder pains and major invasive procedures, our stem cell therapy may help.
Stem cells can reduce inflammation, repair damaged rotator cuff tendons and labrum cartilage, and stimulate natural healing. Stem cell therapy taps into your body’s innate healing abilities without risky medications or surgery. Stem cell shoulder treatment is minimally invasive and requires little downtime.
What is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cell therapy is a non-surgical procedure that uses stem cells to help heal injuries, reducing inflammation and pain. Stem cells are the body’s master cells that can develop into many different cell types, like muscle, cartilage, tendon, or bone cells.
They have the ability to repair and regenerate damaged tissues. Stem cells are injected into the discs, nerves, ligaments, muscles, or other structures in your shoulder that are injured or degenerating.
How Does Stem Cell Therapy Help with Shoulders?
01
Reduces inflammation
Stem cells contain growth factors that decrease swelling, inflammation, and irritation in the rotator cuff tendons, labrum, and surrounding tissues.
02
Repairs rotator cuff
Stem cells can regenerate damaged or torn rotator cuff tendons, restoring stability and strength.
03
Heal's labrum
Stem cells repair torn labrum cartilage to improve shoulder stability and lubrication.
04
Reduces impingement
Stem cells can prevent compressed shoulder tendons from becoming irritated, reducing pain caused by impingement.
05
Grows new tissue
Stem cells stimulate regeneration of tendon, cartilage, and bone cells to heal the damaged shoulder comprehensively.
01

02
Repairs rotator cuff
Stem cells can regenerate damaged or torn rotator cuff tendons, restoring stability and strength.
03
Heal's labrum
Stem cells repair torn labrum cartilage to improve shoulder stability and lubrication.
04
Reduces impingement
Stem cells can prevent compressed shoulder tendons from becoming irritated, reducing pain caused by impingement.
05
Grows new tissue
Stem cells stimulate regeneration of tendon, cartilage, and bone cells to heal the damaged shoulder comprehensively.
The Process of Stem Cell Therapy for Shoulder Pain
Rigorous screenings and tests are conducted on stem cells from umbilical cords and placentas post-cesarean section to guarantee unmatched quality and safety in our treatments.
The first step when you come in for your treatment is numbing the knee joint with an anesthetic.
Using ultrasound guidance, the stem cells are injected into the damaged rotator cuff tendons, labrum cartilage, or other injured tissue
The entire procedure takes approximately 60-90 minutes.
Most patients can resume normal activities within 1-2 days. Improvement occurs gradually over 6-12 weeks as the stem cells regenerate the damaged structures.
For chronic shoulder problems, booster shots every 9-12 months may prolong the healing effects.

Stem Cell Therapy Beyond the Shoulder
Stem cells injected into arthritic knee joints can:
- Grow new cartilage cells to smooth worn surfaces.
- Reduce inflammation that causes pain and stiffness.
- Stimulate thicker synovial fluid to lubricate the joint.
- Slow the progression of osteoarthritis.
For torn rotator cuff tendons, stem cells encourage healing by:
- Forming new tendon tissue.
- Increasing blood supply for nutrients.
- Stimulating collagen to rebuild structure.
- Reducing inflammation and scarring.
Stem cells injected into torn meniscus cartilage can:
- Differentiate into new cartilage cells.
- Produce collagen to reinforce the meniscus.
- Release anti-inflammatory factors.
- Prevent knee arthritis long-term.
Stem cells help the ACL heal by:
- Accelerating ligament cell regeneration.
- Promoting blood vessel growth to aid repair.
- Releasing growth factors to stimulate healing.
- Reducing scarring and adhesions.
Stem cells injected into the spine can:
- Reduce inflammation and irritating nerves.
- Regenerate disc cartilage and repair annular tears.
- Promote new bone growth to stabilize the spine.
- Limit scar tissue pressing on nerves.
