People who work in jobs requiring heavy shoulder use or who exercise excessively are prone to developing chronic shoulder pain. If it is not simple muscle soreness, shoulder pain intensity increases over time, and night pain can disrupt sleep. In such cases, a rotator cuff tear should be suspected.

A rotator cuff tear worsens when left untreated and causes significant daily life disruption. Even if shoulder pain or symptoms are not severe, once pain has started, it is important to see a specialist for an accurate assessment and receive appropriate treatment. Rotator Cuff Tear Symptoms: Rotator cuff tear symptoms are varied. Pain may occur when raising the arm sideways or overhead, discomfort and limited movement in certain positions may develop, and pain is typically worse at night than during the day. Rotator cuff tears are treated surgically or non-surgically depending on the tear size and characteristics. While near-complete tears may require surgery, partial rotator cuff tears can often be treated successfully without surgery. Bone marrow stimulation therapy is indicated for: tear sizes that are too small for surgery, or cases where conservative treatment has been consistently performed but symptoms have not improved. Bone marrow stimulation involves creating very small holes in the shoulder bone to encourage bone marrow to flow out. Our bone marrow contains various cells. The stem cells within the bone marrow can help regenerate and heal the damaged rotator cuff.

Additionally, depending on the rotator cuff tear characteristics and size, healing promoters such as collagen, growth factors, and DNA may be aggressively injected into the tear site to accelerate cell proliferation and differentiation. A rotator cuff tear is a condition where torn tendons do not regenerate on their own if left alone. In fact, leaving it untreated while continuing to use the shoulder is like a rubber band stretching until it snaps, progressing to a complete tear. When the rotator cuff tendon is completely torn, surgical repair becomes inevitable, and total joint replacement to replace the entire joint may be necessary. Once you notice something wrong with your body and identify the problem, the best approach is to utilize your body's own healing resources without surgery. That is exactly what bone marrow stimulation therapy for rotator cuff tears offers.
