Shoulder Pain, Rotator Cuff Injuries & Regenerative Treatments with Exosomes

3 months ago

Shoulder pain is often driven by age-related degeneration and mechanical stress.
Rotator cuff injuries, arthritis, and impingement are common, with imaging often showing tendon and cartilage deterioration in older adults.
Accurate diagnosis relies on anatomy-based physical exams.
Tests like the empty can, lift-off, sulcus sign, and drawer test help identify specific tendon injuries, instability, and nerve-related pain.
Regenerative injections (especially exosomes) are positioned as a treatment option.
Targeted injections into the subacromial bursa, AC joint, or glenohumeral joint are emphasized, along with careful technique and post-treatment rest for optimal healing.
