Rotator cuff tear? – Opt for Medica Stem Cell treatment!

We use these muscles while pulling something or lifting the arms over the heads. Injury in the rotator cuff is quite common, which includes tears, strains, tendinitis and bursitis. Sports, like swimming, baseball or tennis, involve excessive, repeated, overhead movements, and this can cause rotator cuff injury. Rotator cuff injury causes pain in the shoulder, which often worsens while lying on the injured side. The risk of rotator cuff injury rises with age. Recovery from rotator cuff disorder can be achieved with physical therapy; while in extensive injuries, physicians usually recommend surgery. 

However, rethink before opting for surgery. Medica Stem Cell treatment helps to heal a partial rotator cuff tear naturally. Our clinic provides the best PRP therapy in the UK to treat many ailments, especially tears in the rotator cuff.

Before knowing more about this Medica Stem Cell treatment in detail, let us go through the causes and complications of rotator cuff tear.

Rotator cuff injuries can be mild or severe. Common reasons for the injury may include –

• Overdo of the rotator cuff may lead to tendinitis by causing its inflammation. Tennis players who play overhead continuously, as well as the painters who spread their hands in an upward motion for painting, often experience rotator cuff injury.
• Bursa inflammation (fluid sacs in the rotator cuff for easy movement) causes bursitis. Degenerative damage may also lead to this injury.
• Rotator cuff overuse causes strains or tears, which may be partial or complete, due to its overstretching. This injury is observed among the baseball pitchers who often use their rotator cuff for throwing the ball. 
• Untreated tendinitis 
• Unexpected fall, sudden injury, or a car accident may cause rotator cuff tear associated with intense and immediate pain.

Risk factors can be –

• Aging - Rotator cuff tears occur commonly among people older than 40.
• Certain sports like baseball, archery, cricket, and tennis that require frequent and repeated use of arm motions, may put the people at higher risk of developing a rotator cuff injury.
• Certain professions like painters or carpentry workers, where repeated overhead arm motions are required, may be more prone to rotator cuff damage.
• Family history, at times, may play a significant role in developing rotator cuff damage.

The associated complications of rotator cuff tears may include –

• Permanent stiffness or weakness, and progressive degeneration of the shoulder joint, if left untreated.
• Shoulder immobilization for a prolonged time during the resting phase, which may lead to the enclosure of the joints by connective tissue, resulting in thickened and tightened shoulder (frozen shoulder).
