Do you suffer from shoulder disorders that limit your ability to participate in normal activities? If so, then you may have considered stem cell therapy for shoulder pain and injury.

1. CONSIDER REGENERATIVE CELL
THERAPY FOR YOUR COMMON
SHOULDER PROBLEMS

2. • FROM SCRATCHING YOUR BACK PORTION TO THROWING THE BALL, IT’S YOUR SHOULDER THAT
COVERS A WIDE RANGE OF MOTION. YOUR SHOULDER INVOLVES NOT ONLY THE JOINTS BUT
ALSO MUSCLES AND TENDONS AROUND YOUR SHOULDER JOINT.
• REMEMBER, THERE IS A PRICE TAG FOR YOUR SHOULDER MOBILITY. WEAKNESS, INSTABILITY,
AND IMPINGEMENT OF THE TISSUES IN YOUR SHOULDER MAY INDUCE PAIN. INITIALLY, YOU
WILL EXPERIENCE PAIN WHILE MOVING YOUR SHOULDER. LATER, YOU WILL HAVE THIS PAIN ALL
THE TIME. IT MIGHT BE TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT.
• HENCE, THIS ARTICLE LISTS OUT THE COMMON CAUSES OF SHOULDER PAIN THAT REQUIRES
URGENT MEDICAL ATTENTION.

3. WHAT ARE THE COMMON SHOULDER
PROBLEMS?
Shoulder arthritis
Bursitis
Tendinitis
Tendon tear
Impingement
Instability
Fracture

4. SHOULDER ARTHRITIS
• THE COMMON TYPE OF SHOULDER ARTHRITIS IS OSTEOARTHRITIS.
• IT IS OTHERWISE CALLED ‘WEAR AND TEAR’ ARTHRITIS.
• THIS CONDITION IS RELATED TO WORK INJURIES, CHRONIC WEAR AND TEAR JOBS, AND
SPORTS.
• OTHER TYPES MAY INCLUDE JOINT INFLAMMATION AND ROTATOR CUFF TEAR.
• YOU WILL EXPERIENCE PAIN, JOINT STIFFNESS, AND RESTRICTION IN YOUR JOINT
MOVEMENTS.

5. BURSITIS
• BURSA IS A SMALL SAC FILLED WITH FLUID IN THE SHOULDER.
• IT ACTS AS A CUSHION AND REDUCES THE FRICTION BETWEEN BONES AND THE
SURROUNDING SOFT TISSUES.
• EXCESSIVE USE OF YOUR SHOULDER CAUSES PAIN, SWELLING, AND INFLAMMATION,
WHICH CAUSES BURSITIS.
• YOU WILL EVEN FACE DIFFICULTY IN DOING DAILY ACTIVITIES LIKE HAIR COMBING AND
GETTING DRESSED.

6. TENDINITIS
• TENDON CONNECTS A MUSCLE WITH BONE. INFLAMMATION OF THIS TENDON IN YOUR
SHOULDER CAUSES TENDINITIS.
• THIS CONDITION MIGHT BE ACUTE OR CHRONIC.
• OVERHEAD ACTIVITIES OR THROWING OF BALLS MAY CAUSE ACUTE TENDINITIS.
• DEGENERATIVE CONDITIONS LIKE WEAR AND TEAR DUE TO AGEING MAY CAUSE
CHRONIC TENDONITIS. MOSTLY, IT’S THE ROTATOR CUFF TENDON THAT OFTEN GETS
AFFECTED.
• HENCE, YOU WILL EXPERIENCE INSTABILITY AND RESTRICTED SHOULDER MOVEMENTS.

7. TENDON TEAR
• ACUTE INJURY, SUDDEN INJURY, AGEING, WEAR AND TEAR, OR LONG-TERM OVERUSE
MAY TEAR YOUR SHOULDER TENDONS.
• THIS TEAR MAY BE PARTIAL OR COMPLETE.
• BOTH ROTATOR CUFF AND BICEPS TENDONS ARE MORE PRONE TO THIS TEAR.

8. IMPINGEMENT
• WHEN YOU LIFT YOUR ARM, THE SHOULDER BLADE’S UPPER PART WILL PRESSURE THE
UNDERLYING SOFT TISSUES.
• HENCE, THERE WILL BE SEVERE RUBBING OR IMPINGEMENT.
• AND, THIS CONDITION MAY LEAD TO TENDINITIS AND BURSITIS.
• YOU MAY EXPERIENCE SEVERE PAIN AND LIMITED SHOULDER MOVEMENTS.

9. INSTABILITY
• SHOULDER INSTABILITY OCCURS DUE TO OVERUSE OR A SUDDEN INJURY. HENCE, THE
UPPER PART OF THE ARM BONE COMES OUT OF THE SHOULDER SOCKET. THIS
SHOULDER DISLOCATION MAY BE PARTIAL OR COMPLETE.
• IF THE SURROUNDING MUSCLES, TENDONS, AND LIGAMENTS BECOME LOOSE, YOU
MAY EXPERIENCE REPETITIVE DISLOCATION. YOU WILL UNDERGO PAIN AND WEAKNESS
WHILE RAISING YOUR ARM OR MOVING IT. THE REPETITIVE EPISODES OF DISLOCATION
MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF DEVELOPING SHOULDER ARTHRITIS.

10. FRACTURE
• A FRACTURE MEANS BROKEN BONES. SHOULDER FRACTURE MAY OCCUR ON THE
COLLAR BONE, SHOULDER BLADE, OR UPPER ARM BONE.
• MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT, CONTACT SPORTS INJURY, OR THE FALL FROM THE HEIGHT
MAY LEAD TO SHOULDER FRACTURE.
• AND THIS CONDITION CAUSES BRUISING, SEVERE PAIN, AND SWELLING.
