Rotator Cuff Tears

The rotator cuff is a group of tendons around the shoulder that function to allow the shoulder to move in different directions. These tendons can be thought of as ropes that the body uses to move the “ball and socket” joint in different directions. When you have a tear in your rotator cuff, you may have a partial tear or a full tear. Rotator cuff tears should be thought of as a spectrum of a problem. Although some do require surgery, there are a large number of tears that can be treated successfully with either stem cells or Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP).
