A rotator cuff injury affects the group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, keeping the head of the upper arm bone securely in its socket. When these tendons are damaged, patients often experience pain, weakness, and reduced range of motion.
Because the shoulder is vital for everyday movement, an injury here can significantly impact daily life, sleep quality, and overall mobility.
Several factors can contribute to rotator cuff injuries:
from sports, swimming, painting, or overhead work
as tendons naturally weaken and degenerate over time
such as lifting something heavy or a fall
which strains the shoulder muscles and tendons
with some individuals predisposed to shoulder issues
Common symptoms of a rotator cuff injury include:
Shoulder pain, often radiating down the arm
Weakness when lifting or performing overhead movements
Limited range of motion or difficulty rotating the arm
Night pain, particularly when lying on the injured shoulder
Crackling or popping sensations when moving the shoulder
Rest and activity modification to avoid further strain
Physical therapy, with exercises to rebuild strength and flexibility
Medications like NSAIDs to reduce inflammation and pain
Ice and heat therapy to manage swelling and discomfort
At Aven Clinic, we focus on regenerative medicine to heal damaged tissue naturally and reduce the need for invasive surgery.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Uses concentrated platelets from your own blood
Platelets release growth factors that accelerate repair of tendon tissue
Reduces pain, inflammation, and improves shoulder function
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cells harvested from bone marrow or fat tissue are injected into the tendon
Stimulates regeneration of healthy tendon tissue
Restores strength, reduces pain, and improves long-term mobility
Faster recovery, helping patients return to daily life sooner
Lower risks, avoiding anesthesia, infection, and surgical complications
Sustainable outcomes, with stronger, naturally healed tendon tissue
PRP and Stem Cell therapies offer key advantages compared to surgical repair:
These regenerative therapies are especially suited for:
Athletes and active adults with tendon overuse injuries
Patients with partial tears or chronic rotator cuff pain
