Stem cells offer a quick and easy treatment for shoulder rotator cuff injuries. As tears in the rotator cuff don’t often heal on their own, surgical procedures are sometimes required to repair the tendons and attach them back to the bone. With the discovery of stem cells, surgery can be avoided all together and only a simple injection of stem cells is needed to heal the rotator cuff. Dr. Bennett has been a pioneer in this area of stem cell therapy for quite some time and has shown that his proven methods work.

Treatment of the rotator cuff using stem cell therapies has many advantages over invasive surgery. The stem cells are harvested from the patient and injected on the same day, there is no surgery or bracing needed, no rehab period and minimal activity restriction.

While surgical procedures require the patient to wear a shoulder brace for 6 weeks and have restricted movement for up to 12 weeks. Patients can expect to have to take about 2 to 3 months off of work depending on their job and have an extensive and painful rehab period. The entire recovery period can take anywhere from 4 months to a year and statistics show that 6 out of 10 surgeries fail.

Stem cell therapies are a relatively new treatment for the medical community and may sound like a new, scary and untested treatment option. Rest assured, Dr. Bennett has been performing stem cell treatments for the past 10 years and has gained a wealth of experience and knowledge performing stem cell treatments. With all of the benefits stem cell therapy has to offer over traditional invasive surgery, no one should have to suffer through the high cost of complete surgical replacement of any joint. Stem cell therapies are the high road of today leading into tomorrow’s medical wonders.
