Alternative Treatment for Rotator Cuff Tear or Injury
                     Alternative Treatment for Rotator Cuff Tear or 
Injury
• Unfortunately, a rotator cuff injury is common mostly leading to 
a rotator cuff tear or a torn rotator cuff altogether. 
• The cause for this could be an acute injury or fall or 
degenerative damage, getting worse over some time or either 
due to repetitive movement, a lack of blood supply or bone spur 
formation or a combination of those. 
• Since the glenoid cavity is shallow, it requires extra support of 
muscles and tendons to keep the head of the humorous in place. 
• Thus is why rotator cuff is prone to injuries more often. 
• We, at Medica Stem Cells Clinics, offer effective alternative 
treatment options for rotator cuff tear or injury with a faster 
recovery time compared to conventional treatments.
•  But before we go in to that, let’s see what a rotator cuff is and 
what the symptoms of injury are?
What is a rotator cuff?
• The rotator cuff is a musculotendinous 
structure mainly formed by muscles, tendons 
and ligaments surrounding the shoulder joint. 
These structures facilitate  

What are the symptoms of rotator cuff 
injury?
• Inability to sleep on the affected side with a 
reduced range of movement.
• Difficulty in performing daily chores, including 
reaching up for things, lifting or carrying items 
or dressing.
• Sometimes a crackling sensation is felt when 
moving in a particular position.
What are the conventional treatment methods for 
rotator cuff injury?
• Rest, rest manages pain temporarily.
•  Ice, application of ice temporarily reduces inflammation. Thus, giving 
temporary relief from pain.
• Medication, when the pain becomes unmanageable, doctors usually 
suggest pain-killers to manage pain. The pain-killers however, only 
mitigate the symptoms for some time.
• Physiotherapy.
• For a completely torn rotator cuff surgery is strongly advised.
How to heal a partially torn rotator cuff naturally?
• Rotator cuff injury is a painful and debilitating condition. You 
must be thinking if there are any natural ways to treat rotator 
cuff injury? The simple answer is yes. Regenerative treatment 
is an alternative treatment method for rotator cuff injury. 
• It is often overlooked, even though the results of regenerative 
therapies are very good. Regenerative therapy is 100% natural 
treatment method that uses stem cells harvested from your 
body.
What is the alternative treatment for 
rotator cuff tear or injury?
• Prolotherapy. During the prolotherapy procedure, we inject 
natural irritant into the soft tissue around the injured shoulder 
joint. This natural irritant helps to kick start the body’s healing 
response.
• Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP treatment. Platelet Rich Plasma 
Therapy or PRP treatment mainly uses a portion of the patient’s 
blood, having a platelet concentration above baseline, to 
promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and 
joints. It is applied to various musculoskeletal problems. PRP 
treatment is quite frequently used to treat partially torn rotator 
cuffs.
What is the alternative treatment for 
rotator cuff tear or injury?
• Stromal vascular function or SVF. For Stromal Vascular Therapy, a 
substantial number of Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) cells from 
adipose/fat tissue are harvested, which provide an abundant source 
of SVF cells for administration. These SVF cells, which also contains 
Growth Factor when injected in the shoulder joints, decrease the 
inflammation present and promotes growth and specialization of 
cells too.
• Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate or BMAC. For this procedure, 
we extract a small part of bone marrow from the pelvis under local 
anaesthesia to minimize discomfort. The extracted marrow is then 
processed and injected into the affected part of the body to promote 
healing.
What are the benefits of Regenerative Treatment?
• Regenerative therapy offers minimally invasive procedures with 
faster recovery. Unlike surgical intervention which is an invasive 
procedure with a more prolonged recovery period.
• Less time-consuming, it is a same-day procedure and takes only a 
few hours. And once completed, you can travel back to home.
• Mobility of shoulder joints regained within a few weeks of 
treatment.
• No post-operative scars or lesions.
• No risk of contracting or transmitting any infectious disease. 
However, there is minimal risk of contracting an infection at the 
sample collection and injection site. Therefore the procedure is 
carried out in a sterile environment.
