What Is Stem Cell Therapy for the Shoulder?

Stem cell therapy for shoulders involves injecting regenerative cells into areas of damage such as tendons, ligaments, cartilage, or joints. These cells promote healing, reduce inflammation, and stimulate tissue repair.

It is especially effective for rotator cuff injuries, arthritis, and degenerative shoulder conditions, offering an alternative to more aggressive surgical options.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?

  • Patients with chronic shoulder pain unresponsive to physical therapy or medication
  • Individuals with rotator cuff injuries or partial tears
  • Those with early to moderate shoulder arthritis
  • Patients seeking to avoid or delay shoulder surgery
  • Active individuals who want to regain strength and function with a minimally invasive approach

Treatment Process Overview

1. Consultation & Evaluation

Comprehensive exam with imaging (X-ray, MRI, or ultrasound) to assess joint structures and confirm candidacy.

2. Cell Harvesting & Preparation

  • If autologous: a small sample of bone marrow or fat tissue is collected
  • Stem cells are processed under sterile conditions to concentrate regenerative potential

3. Precision Injection

  • Regenerative cells are injected directly into the damaged tendon, joint, or cartilage
  • Imaging guidance ensures accuracy and safety

4. Post-Procedure Care

  • Short recovery with activity restrictions for healing
  • Home-care instructions and pain management guidance provided

5. Follow-Up & Monitoring

  • Regular assessments of pain, mobility, and healing progress
  • Additional booster sessions may be considered if needed

Expected Results & Timeline

  • Early pain reduction may be noticed within weeks
  • Improved mobility and strength often appear within 2–3 months
  • Tissue healing and long-term regeneration may continue for 6–12 months
  • Many patients regain functional use of their shoulder and return to daily activities with less discomfort

Risks & Considerations

  • Mild swelling or soreness at the injection site
  • Low risk of infection with proper sterile technique
  • Results vary depending on severity of the injury and overall health
  • Severe or advanced shoulder damage may still require surgical repair
