Labrum Tears
The labrum is a ring of fibrocartilage that covers the rim of the hip joint socket. Its purpose is to contribute to joint stability. A labral tear of the hip occurs when this crescent-shaped cartilage is torn, causing pain, clicking, or catching. Traumatic injury or erosion from repetitive motion are two common ways labrum tears happen.
The symptoms of a hip labral tear can vary depending on the severity of the tear, but may include:
- Pain in the hip or groin area
- Clicking or catching sensation in the hip joint
- Stiffness in the hip joint
- Limited range of motion in the hip joint
- Feeling of instability in the hip joint
- Experience: 15+ years in stem cell therapies
- Effective Treatments: Using your stem cells or MSCs for pain relief, regeneration, and more.
Regenerative Treatments
How can regenerative treatments help with Labrum tear and joint pain?
Regenerative medicine treatments, such as stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, may offer relief from a labral tear in the hip by promoting the natural healing processes of the body and stimulating the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues.
Hip labral tears are commonly seen in athletes who participate in sports that involve repetitive twisting or pivoting motions, such as football, soccer, and ice hockey. However, they can also occur in individuals who have structural abnormalities in the hip joint or who have experienced a traumatic injury.
If you are experiencing symptoms of a hip labral tear, it is important to seek medical attention to determine the extent of the injury and receive appropriate treatment.
Treating a labral tear is a priority for three reasons:
1) it prevents new symptoms,
2) it prevents possible long-term pain, and
3) it prevents a decrease in hip or shoulder activities.
Treatment options may include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medication, stem cell and/or PRP treatments or in more severe cases, surgery to repair or remove the torn labrum.
Here at Miami Stem Cell, we’re recognized as a pioneer in stem cell procedures in the Miami area. Our staff of medical professionals has experienced excellent results from treatment for labrum tear pain with stem cell therapy, so you can be assured that you’ll be in good hands.
Types of Stem Cells :
Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs)
Found in early-stage embryos. Super powerful, can become any cell in the body. They are not typically used in modern clinical settings in the U.S. We don’t offer treatments using ESCs.
Adult Stem Cells (ASCs)
Found in tissues like bone marrow and fat. Their job is to maintain and repair the tissue they come from. These are what we mostly use in regenerative medicine. We do offer treatments using ASCs.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)
This is the type A subtype of adult stem cells found in bone marrow, fat, and umbilical cords. They're amazing at reducing inflammation, modulating the immune system, and helping damaged tissue heal. We do offer treatments using MSCs.
Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs)
Regular adult cells that scientists “reprogram” to act like embryonic stem cells. Big in research, not widely used yet in clinical care. We do not work with iPSCs.

What are Stem Cells?
Stem cells are your body’s raw materials basically, the building blocks for all other cells. They’re special because they can:
1. Divide and make more copies of themselves (self-renew).
2. Turn into specialized cells like muscle, bone, nerve, skin, or blood cells (differentiate).
Think of them like the body’s repair system. If you get injured or sick, stem cells can go to the area and help regenerate damaged tissue.
