Treating Partial Muscle Tears Glastonbury
Non-Invasive Treatments for Muscle Tears
If a muscle is completely torn, it needs to be repaired surgically. But what about partial tears? Similar to sprains and strains, muscle injuries are graded on a scale of 1 - 3. A Grade 1 injury refers to overstretching with some microscopic tearing. At the other end of the spectrum, a Grade 3 injury is a complete tear. Here at the New England Stem Cell Institute, we offer regenerative medicine solutions for treating partial muscle tears in Glastonbury.
Treating Partial Muscle Tears
Grade 1 and 2 tears are usually treated with conservative methods such as physical therapy, rest, and activity modification. But when those methods fail to heal the injury, a more aggressive approach is needed. This is where regenerative medicine treatments such as PRP and stem cell therapy enter the picture.
Regenerative medicine treatments often involve injections of your own healing cells and growth factors into a damaged area to stimulate the natural healing response. For most muscle injuries, only one or two injections are needed. We’ve been performing these treatments longer than anyone in New England, and longer in fact than most practices in the country – meaning you can trust us to help resolve your pain and restore your quality of life!
