Treating Shoulder Conditions Without Surgery 

SHOULDER INJURIES AND ARTHRITIS STEM CELL THERAPY

Previously, when someone got joint arthritis pain, chronic shoulder or muscle tears, the only solution to relieve the pain and heal the condition was considered to be surgery. Full recovery or even partial recovery was considered to be out of question without cutting the shoulder open in an OR.

This is because the human body undergoes through a regenerative and degenerative process each day. In case of an injury, or over-usage of a ligament, muscle or tendon, the regenerative process has to the job of healing the body while the degenerative process has done the maximum damage it can. The regenerative process is responsible to heal the condition with the power of stem cells. Stem cells have the ability to transform into any kind of cell required by the body at any given time.

When the severity of the damage for a shoulder injury, surpasses the natural healing process of the body, it results in an immobilized, highly painful and weakened shoulder.

SHOULDER INJURY AND ARTHRITIS TREATMENT OPTIONS

Discover advanced treatments for shoulder pain and related conditions at Chicago Stem Cell Therapy. Our expert team, led by Dr. Zaki Anwar, offers a range of regenerative therapies to alleviate limited range of motion or shoulder discomfort and enhance your quality of life.


Conventional Shoulder Pain Treatments


When it comes to injury or over-use of a ligament, muscle, or tendon, traditional shoulder pain treatments abound.  Dr. Anwar takes various factors into consideration to determine the most suitable option based on your pain's cause and severity. While these treatments offer temporary relief, they may not provide lasting solutions.

 

  • RICE treatment: Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation may not suffice. 


  • Cortisone Injections: Also known as corticosteroid injections, these steroids reduce pain and inflammation. Although they may offer temporary relief, repeated injections can lead to bone and tissue damage.



  • Hyaluronic Acid Injections: Viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid restores joint function temporarily, providing cushioning for 4-6 months. This option is gentler on tissues than steroids but only offers short term relief.

With surgery there are significant risks as well as a lengthy and tiring rehabilitation process. It is best to exhaust all safer options before making the life-altering decision to go for surgery. Regenerative Medicine is an alternative to surgery with great chances at a full recovery.


Stem cell therapy requires minimal recovery time and allows you to return to your normal activities right away. Through Platelet Rich Plasma or Stem Cells, the treated area regenerates healthy new tissue while repairing damaged cells.

Conditions We Address:

  • Arthritis of the shoulder joint
  • Partial Rotator Cuff Tears
  • Full Rotator Cuff Tears
  • Labrum Tears or Degeneration
  • Rotator Cuff Tendinitis
  • Bicipital Tendinitis
  • Bursitis or Myositis
  • Recurrent Shoulder Dislocations

Nutrition for Joint Health

Boost joint health and lubrication by incorporating foods rich in healthy fats into your diet. Salmon, trout, mackerel, avocados, olive oil, almonds, walnuts, and chia seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids that promote joint lubrication.


UNLOCK RAPID HEALING WITH PRP

Experience the revolutionary power of PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy. Dr. Zaki Anwar creates a personalized PRP solution containing over 30 active growth factors extracted from your own blood. These platelets stimulate tissue and blood vessel repair, expediting natural recovery.

Stem cells are pivotal in healing, transforming into necessary tissue types. For ailing joints, stem cells from umbilical cord, placental tissue, or amniotic fluid can be injected into the area, fostering the growth of healthy tissue like cartilage. X-ray evidence confirms increased cartilage between bones, alleviating arthritis pain. Augment your body's inherent healing with the addition of PRP to the affected area.


UNVEILING CHICAGO STEM CELL THERAPY

Chicago Stem Cell Therapy offers minimally invasive, non-surgical stem cell treatments. Dr. Zaki Anwar utilizes amniotic fluid, vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells, adipose tissue or bone marrow. Our approach focuses on naturally repairing, restoring, and regenerating damaged or diseased tissue to treat or prevent injury and disease.


THE POTENTIAL OF STEM CELL THERAPY

While stem cell therapy's efficacy varies for each individual, numerous studies attest to its success across various diagnoses. Healing takes time, with some patients experiencing immediate relief while others realize benefits in a few months. Dr. Zaki Anwar's dedication to groundbreaking medicine ensures the integration of regenerative therapy into daily practice.


LOW-RISK REGENERATIVE MEDICINE

Experience minimal risk with Regenerative Medicine. No incisions or sutures are required, and recovery is swift. Slight soreness at the injection site is manageable with ice. For enhanced recovery, explore options like analgesic creams or Pressure Wave (Shockwave) Therapy and always concentrate on proper diet and exercise.  PRP utilizes your blood, eliminating the risk of rejection or infection. Stem cells are sourced from healthy mothers who have delivered a healthy baby and are screened rigorously for purity and safety.  Embryonic stem cells will never be utilized by our office.
