Both the hip and shoulder joints feature a ring of thick, fibrous cartilage that encircles the rim of the joint socket. This specialized cartilage, known as the labrum, plays a crucial role in stabilizing the joint by securely holding the ball of the thigh and upper arm bones within the socket.
When a labral tear occurs, it can lead to pain, joint instability, stiffness, limited range of motion, and a locking sensation in the affected joint. These tears are often the result of overuse but can also be caused by bone abnormalities, joint dislocations, or traumatic injuries. Without proper treatment, labral tears typically do not heal on their own, potentially leading to chronic pain, worsening joint instability, and decreased mobility.
When you seek non-surgical treatment for a shoulder or hip labral tear at our clinic, we begin with a comprehensive examination to confirm the diagnosis. Based on our findings, we will determine if you are a suitable candidate for advanced treatments such as stem cell injections or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy.
Our state-of-the-art regenerative medicine facilities are equipped with the latest technology and expertise to administer cell-based treatments using various tissue sources, including blood, bone marrow, and fat. You can trust our skilled professionals to recommend the safest and most effective therapeutic options tailored to your specific condition and lifestyle.
Labral Tears
Nuvo Medical Associates: Advanced Treatment for Labral Tears
At Nuvo Medical Associates, our cell-based therapies offer a non-surgical, minimally invasive approach to treating labral tears. Performed as outpatient procedures in our office, stem cell therapy for hip labral repair and stem cells for torn shoulder labrums provide significant benefits over traditional surgery, including reduced pain, minimal downtime, and faster recovery times.
Our regenerative medicine treatments harness the body’s natural healing power to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and enhance joint mobility. By directly injecting autologous platelets and stem cells into the affected areas, we stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, promoting tissue regeneration and recovery.
Most patients experience a return to normal activities within a few days, with noticeable improvements often occurring within weeks. However, full recovery may take up to a year, depending on the severity of the tear. Your specific outcomes will be influenced by the extent of your condition and response to treatment.
Proper bracing of the hip or shoulder can play a crucial role in reducing pain, accelerating the healing process, and potentially preventing the need for surgery. Whether you're dealing with an acute injury or a chronic condition, a professionally fitted brace can support the joint, promote healing, and safeguard against further damage. Based on your specific tear, we will provide a customized brace tailored to both your condition and lifestyle.
In addition to advanced cell therapies and bracing, we offer a range of complementary treatments designed to alleviate pain and enhance recovery. To explore your non-surgical options and find the best approach for your healing, contact us today to schedule a consultation.
