Shoulder Labrum Tears & Regenerative Solutions

What Is a Shoulder Labrum Tear?

A shoulder labrum tear occurs when the ring of cartilage (the labrum) surrounding the shoulder socket is damaged. The labrum provides stability to the joint, allowing for smooth movement and a wide range of motion.

When torn, the result is often pain, instability, weakness, and limited mobility—making even simple movements challenging. Labrum tears can affect athletes, laborers, or anyone with repetitive or traumatic shoulder stress.

What Causes Shoulder Labrum Tear?

Several factors may contribute to labrum injuries:

Trauma or injury

such as falls, collisions, or accidents

Repetitive motion

from overhead sports like baseball, swimming, or tennis

Age-related degeneration

where cartilage weakens over time

Shoulder dislocations

which can tear the labrum as the bone shifts out of the socket

What Symptoms Should You Watch For?

Common signs of a labrum tear include:

Shoulder pain, especially with overhead activity

Instability, with the shoulder feeling like it slips or pops out of place

Limited range of motion, making movement difficult

Weakness, especially with lifting or rotation

Clicking, popping, or grinding sensations within the joint

Rest and activity modification to avoid strain

Physical therapy, focused on stability and strengthening

Medications such as NSAIDs for pain and inflammation

Ice or heat therapy for relief of acute discomfort
