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.
