Shoulder Injuries

At CellMark360, we specialize in regenerative therapies designed to support healing and recovery from shoulder injuries, including conditions like arthritis and partial rotator cuff tears. Using your body’s own cells—specifically autologous stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs)—we offer cutting-edge, personalized treatments that promote natural regeneration and reduce inflammation. Backed by peer-reviewed clinical studies, our therapies provide a safe and effective alternative to conventional treatments for select shoulder injuries. It’s important to note that while stem cell therapy can be highly effective for partial ligament or tendon damage, it is not suitable for complete tears requiring surgical repair. Whether you're a patient seeking pain relief and improved mobility, or a physician looking to expand your treatment offerings, our regenerative approach offers a promising pathway to shoulder recovery.

Restoring Shoulders Naturally: The Power of Your Own Cells with CellMark360

At CellMark360, we’re leading the charge in regenerative medicine by empowering physicians and patients with personalized, cutting-edge therapies using autologous stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). Our mission is to help your body heal, restore, and regenerate naturally, using your own cells to address shoulder arthritis and injuries like rotator cuff tears. Backed by peer-reviewed research, our approach is safe, effective, and designed to deliver real results. However, patient selection is critical—the shoulder is a complex joint, and while stem cells can be a powerful solution for partial ligament tears, they are not a replacement for surgery in cases of complete tears. Below, we explore the science behind SVF and ADSCs, showing why they’re a promising option for shoulder conditions, whether you’re a doctor aiming to enhance your practice or a patient seeking to regain mobility and reduce pain.

Why Choose SVF and ADSCs for Shoulder Healing?

Shoulder issues, such as arthritis and rotator cuff tears, can make daily activities challenging, often causing pain and limiting movement. Traditional approaches like surgery or pain management may not always provide lasting relief or address the underlying damage. At CellMark360, we offer a natural alternative by harnessing SVF and ADSCs from your own fat tissue to support your body’s healing process. Fat tissue is a rich source of stem cells—containing 500 to 2,000 times more stem cells than bone marrow—making it an ideal choice for regenerative therapies. Our FDA 510(k)-cleared CellVault technology automates the process, isolating your cells in under two hours while preserving up to 90% of their viability. This ensures the best possible outcomes for healing and restoring shoulder function, particularly for partial ligament tears, though careful patient selection is key due to the shoulder’s complexity.

How It Works: The Science Behind the Healing

ADSCs are powerful because they support healing in three key ways:

  1. Releasing Healing Factors: They secrete substances that encourage tissue repair and reduce inflammation.
  2. Transforming into Needed Cells: They can develop into cartilage or other tissues to aid in regeneration.
  3. Calming the Immune System: Their anti-inflammatory properties help ease pain and swelling.

When processed into SVF, these cells interact with your shoulder’s environment to promote cartilage regeneration, reduce inflammation, and restore balance to the joint. This natural approach supports long-term healing and restoration, making it a valuable option for both patients and physicians. However, because the shoulder is a complex joint, patient selection is critical to ensure the best outcomes, especially since stem cells are not a replacement for surgery in cases of complete tears.

Promising Results for Rotator Cuff Tears
SVF in Action

A study on chronic rotator cuff tears showed that SVF reduced scar tissue (fibrosis) by 40% compared to untreated groups (p=0.03 for 3×10^5 cells, p=0.04 for 3×10^6 cells). Researchers found traces of the donor cells in the treated muscles two weeks after the procedure, confirming that the cells successfully integrated and began supporting healing. While there were no changes in lipid content or muscle strength, the reduction in scar tissue and a trend toward improved muscle fiber contractility suggest that SVF can help your shoulder recover more effectively from chronic injuries, particularly in well-selected patients with partial tears.

ADSCs for Repair

In a study of 20 patients with partial rotator cuff tears, ADSC therapy led to impressive healing rates of 83% to 90% within six months. Patients also experienced better shoulder function and significantly less pain. This level of structural healing isn’t something a placebo can achieve—it’s clear evidence of the regenerative power of your own stem cells. These results are particularly relevant for partial ligament tears, where stem cells can be a solution, though they are not a substitute for surgery in cases of complete tears.

A Closer Look at the Research

The results for ADSCs in rotator cuff repair are promising but varied. A cohort study of 70 patients (35 receiving arthroscopic repair with ADSCs and 35 receiving repair alone) found that the ADSC group had significantly fewer re-tears over 28 months, though pain and function improvements were similar between groups. Conversely, a smaller trial of 24 patients with partial supraspinatus tendon tears compared stem cell injections in fibrin glue to a saline/fibrin glue mixture and saline alone. Over follow-ups from 6 weeks to 2 years, researchers found no difference in pain duration or severity between the groups. These findings highlight the potential of SVF and ADSCs for structural healing, especially for partial tears, but underscore the importance of patient selection, as stem cells are not a replacement for surgery in complete tears.

Hope for Shoulder Arthritis

While fewer studies focus specifically on shoulder arthritis, the benefits of SVF and ADSCs seen in other joints, like the knee, offer hope. A large study of 2,586 patients with osteoarthritis (mostly knee-related) showed that SVF therapy significantly reduced pain and improved mobility after one and two years. Remarkably, some patients continued to feel the benefits up to eight years later. Since the healing mechanisms of SVF and ADSCs are similar across joints, these therapies hold promise for regenerating shoulder cartilage and restoring function in arthritis cases, provided patients are carefully selected due to the shoulder’s complexity.

Insights from Lab Research

At CellMark360, we’re not just providing a therapy—we’re shaping the future of regenerative medicine. The evidence shows that SVF and ADSCs can significantly support healing for partial rotator cuff tears, with healing rates of 83-90%, and reduce scar tissue in chronic cases by 40%. For shoulder arthritis, the potential to regenerate cartilage, reduce pain, and restore mobility is clear, even if more shoulder-specific studies are needed. Patient selection remains critical, as the shoulder’s complexity means stem cells are best suited for partial tears and not a replacement for surgery in complete tears.

We’re dedicated to advancing this field by standardizing preparation techniques, determining the best dosages, and identifying the patients who will benefit most. Long-term studies are also needed to understand how lasting these effects are and whether additional therapies might be necessary as natural degeneration continues. Our mission is to help your body heal naturally, using the tools it already has, while supporting physicians with the technology, training, and data they need to deliver exceptional care.

For doctors, partnering with CellMark360 means access to the CellVault device, comprehensive training, clinical protocols, marketing support, and a network of peers—all grounded in decades of experience in regenerative medicine. For patients, it means a safe, natural option to restore shoulder function and reduce pain, without the risks of immune rejection or infection that come with other approaches.Ready to take the next step? Whether you’re a physician looking to bring regenerative medicine into your practice or a patient seeking a lasting solution for your shoulder, CellMark360 is here to help.
