Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy and Tear Treatment in San Antonio, TX

Rotator cuff injuries, including tendinopathy and tears, are common causes of shoulder pain and disability. The rotator cuff consists of four muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder and allow for a wide range of motion. When these tendons are injured or inflamed due to overuse, aging, or trauma, it can result in pain, weakness, and limited movement in the shoulder.

At Advanced Regenerative Center of South Texas, we specialize in treating rotator cuff injuries using non-surgical regenerative medicine therapies, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy. These regenerative treatments focus on promoting healing, reducing inflammation, and encouraging tissue repair without the need for invasive surgery.

PRP therapy utilizes growth factors from your own blood platelets to stimulate healing in the damaged tendons of the rotator cuff. Stem cell therapy, on the other hand, uses regenerative cells from umbilical tissue to help repair and regenerate damaged tissues, offering a powerful tool to treat tendon tears and inflammation.

All treatments are administered by Dr. Asim Merchant, MD, a board-certified sports medicine physician with extensive experience in ultrasound-guided injections, ensuring the accurate and effective placement of regenerative medicine directly into the injured shoulder.

Common symptoms of rotator cuff tendinopathy or tears include pain when lifting or reaching overhead, weakness in the shoulder, limited range of motion, and a sensation of grinding or clicking in the joint. If left untreated, these symptoms can worsen, making daily activities and sports more difficult.

At Advanced Regenerative Center of South Texas, we take a comprehensive approach to shoulder care. Each patient undergoes a thorough evaluation to determine the best treatment for their specific condition. Many patients in San Antonio, TX, are turning to PRP therapy and stem cell treatments to avoid surgery and restore shoulder function.
