Introduction
  • The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the
    body, and as such, the most susceptible to
    injury. It is no surprise that so many
    individuals find themselves being faced with the
    possibility of having to undergo shoulder
    surgery. However, there are many ways you can
    avoid invasive shoulder surgery, thereby avoiding
    the many risks associated with it. Shoulder
    surgery includes risks such as loss of
    range-of-motion, nerve damage, infection, and
    more. Here are a few alternatives that you may
    want to consider

Allograph Amniotic Stem Cell Procedures
  • The rotator cuff muscles are four muscles within
    the shoulder area that are oftentimes the
    culprits for shoulder issues. If this is the
    case for you, exercising those muscles may be an
    option that can reduce or even eliminate your
    shoulder issues. The primary exercises you can
    do for the rotator cuff muscles are termed
    internal and external rotations. These exercises
    can easily be found all over the internet. Be
    sure if you choose this route to start off light
    resistance and gradually work your way up over
    time as the muscles strengthen. If you feel any
    sort of pain or discomfort in the shoulders,
    decrease the resistance/weight you are using for
    the exercise.

Rotator Cuff Exercises
  • There are a few companies that have begun
    utilizing a fairly new medical procedure that
    uses stem cells and platelets. This procedure is
    used for common injuries of the rotator cuff, the
    shoulder labrum, arthritis, and a variety of
    other degenerative shoulder issues. The great
    thing about this alternative is that for most
    patients, it requires little to no recovery time
    after the procedure. The procedure takes
    advantage of your bodys own healing mechanisms
    to repair the shoulders. While a relatively new
    procedure, it has shown to be extremely effective
    and a great alternative to a variety of
    traditional shoulder surgeries.

Ice and Heat Combined with Rest
  • For less severe shoulder issues, sometimes
    something as simple as resting the joints and
    using ice compresses can do the trick.
    Initially, you want to apply ice for up to 20
    minutes at a time, giving at least 20 minutes
    break in-between. Try this for about 48 hours
    while restricting the use of the shoulders as
    much as possible during that time. After the ice
    treatment has been used, then switch to heat
    compresses to promote blood flow to the area,
    using the same approach as with the ice treatment.
