I had horrible problems with my L5/S1 lower back and found the PRO institute. I promised I would write a follow up review. I’m actually a little freaked out because I’m about 80-90% back to normal. I love doing spin, yoga, Pilates and I feel like I’m back without post workout pain. I’m still careful but I’m literally amazed that I rarely have pain.
Understanding Calcific Tendinitis
Calcific Tendinitis occurs when calcium deposits form within the tendons of the rotator cuff, causing inflammation and intense shoulder pain. It predominantly affects adults aged 30-50, particularly those in active professions or athletes.
Common symptoms include:
- Sharp, localized shoulder pain aggravated by movement
- Tenderness and swelling near the shoulder joint
- Reduced shoulder mobility and stiffness
Studies show that early regenerative intervention leads to better outcomes, with over 75% of patients experiencing significant symptom relief through PRP and stem cell therapies.
Regenerative Treatment Options
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP uses your body’s own concentrated platelets to stimulate healing and dissolve calcium deposits. Research supports PRP’s effectiveness in reducing pain and accelerating recovery in calcific tendinitis patients.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy offers powerful regenerative potential for chronic or severe cases, promoting tendon repair and calcium resorption, with minimal downtime.
