How Stem Cell and PRP Therapy Work
Stem Cell Therapy
Harvested from your own adipose (fat) or bone marrow, stem cells are injected into damaged tissue to promote the regeneration of cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. Especially beneficial for:
- Chronic or degenerative tendon damage
- Post-surgical stiffness
- Shoulder joint arthritis
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Created from a small sample of your own blood, PRP contains growth factors that stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation. Ideal for:
- Partial rotator cuff tears
- Tendonitis and shoulder inflammation
- Mild to moderate arthritis
Combination Therapy
Many patients benefit from a dual approach using both PRP and stem cells. This enhances healing outcomes and targets multiple aspects of shoulder damage.
