Chronic shoulder pain can severely impair your ability to function normally. Whether the pain is a dull ache or a sharp stabbing pain, it can discourage you from working, exercising, or even participating in social events. Shoulder pain is usually attributed to joint damage or a pinched nerve, both of which tend to worsen as you rotate the shoulder! Shoulders are often damaged due to posture problems. We tend to let our shoulders roll forwards instead of posturing them back in their intended position. This poor form can lead to rotator cuff tears, the unnatural wearing of the joint, as well as pinched nerves.

The professionals at Stem Cellutions have years of expertise administering stem cell therapy for a range of joint and pain management. Previously Shoulder pain treatments were limited to steroid injections, physical therapy, partial replacement, or full Shoulder replacement surgery. Stem Cell therapy provides a promising non-surgical option.

Stem Cell Shoulder Therapy Explained

Think of stem cells as unprogrammed cells, awaiting instruction for what type of cell they will function as. Cells tend to follow gene mapping and adapt to the function of the surrounding cells. When stem cells are injected into injury sites, that is the intended purpose, to provide your body with fresh, unprogrammed cells, so that it has the potential building blocks to repair damaged tissue.

Stem cells are extracted from natural sources that are familiar to the human body, for example, taken from bone marrow. So you can consider stem cell therapy as a simple relocation of resources. Taking resources from a place of abundance, and placing them directly in an area of need!

For stem cell shoulder therapy, the doctor administers the injection as close to the pain center as possible. Shoulders are a very mobile joint, and as such are comprised of a very complex network of muscles, tendons, cartilage, bone, and nerves. Anyone of these could be the source of your pain. Stem cell therapy can help reduce inflammation, alleviate pressure on nerves as well as assist in repairing damaged or degenerating tissues in the joint and surrounding areas.
