So How is that Shoulder Labrum Tear Stem Cell Patient Doing?

So how is that shoulder labrum tear stem cell patient doing?  A few months ago I blogged on a patient who decided to get her own stem cells injected precisely into the tear in her shoulder labrum rather than pursuing surgery. This is a big differentiator for the Regenexx network of physicians, as we only accept physicians who have advanced interventional skills and who can place stem cells through a needle exactly where they need to go. This means that if a doctor doesn’t know the musculoskeletal system like the back of his hand and can’t place stem cells into a very specific spot using x-ray or ultrasound guidance, he won’t make the cut to get into this provider network. So how is that patient with the shoulder labrum tear faring? She’s now 4 months out from a very precise injection of her own stem cells through Dr. Hanson’s expert hands. The video below shows her progress…

It should be noted that not all patients can expect this type of functional recovery after having their shoulder labrum injected.
