Does stem cell therapy repair a torn rotator cuff?

No claim of repair can be made. Published research for the shoulder is early, small and mostly uncontrolled. Outcomes vary and are not guaranteed.

Is stem cell therapy for rotator cuff tears FDA approved?

No stem cell product is approved by the FDA for orthopedic conditions, and the treatment offered at Healthi Life is investigational.

Do most rotator cuff tears need surgery?

Not always. In one multicenter study, fewer than 25 percent of people with atraumatic full-thickness tears chose surgery after a physical therapy program. A Cochrane review found that surgery probably provides little or no improvement in pain at one year compared with non-operative care.

What cells are used in Healthi Life stem cell therapy?

The treatment uses umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC), administered fresh, with a Certificate of Analysis for each batch and xeno-free processing. The cells are prepared by GMP and ISO-certified partner laboratories.

How much does stem cell therapy for rotator cuff tears cost?

The listed price per joint is ?86,000 (approximately $2,800) for 5 million cells, ?123,000 (approximately $4,000) for 10 million cells, and ?157,000 (approximately $5,100) for 15 million cells. The physician determines the appropriate dose after assessment. Treatment is dispensed only after a medical consultation and on a physician's prescription.

Who should not have stem cell therapy for a rotator cuff tear?

People with a suspected acute tear, marked weakness, pain from another source, active infection or relevant medical risks may be advised against treatment. A physician makes the final decision after assessment, and some patients may not be suitable candidates.

Is there downtime after stem cell therapy?

Most protocols require little downtime, and recovery is discussed individually. Fatigue or a mild, short-lived temperature can follow treatment.

Can I be assessed before flying to Bangkok for treatment?

Yes. Healthi Life offers a complimentary 20-minute Discovery Consultation by phone or video. Eligibility and the final dose are confirmed after clinical assessment in Bangkok.

Will I still need physical therapy after stem cell treatment?

Patients should ask the physician about rehabilitation. Physical therapy is the first-line treatment for most shoulder problems, and a rehabilitation plan may be recommended alongside any cell treatment.

What follow-up is provided after stem cell therapy?

Healthi Life provides structured medical follow-up for 30 to 90 days after patients leave.
