Who this is for

Who we evaluate for shoulder stem cell therapy

You might recognise yourself here

Rotator cuff tendinopathy or a partial-thickness tear.
Shoulder pain that physical therapy improved, then plateaued.
Night pain when you roll onto that side.
Early shoulder arthritis.

What we look at first

We review your MRI and examine how the shoulder actually moves: where it catches and how much range you have lost compared with the other side. A full-thickness tear with weakness, a dislocation or sudden loss of motion after an injury needs an orthopedic surgeon.

What it is

The stem cell preparation we use

“Stem cell therapy” is used loosely online. Here is exactly what it means at REVĪV. Our stem cell therapy uses a perinatal tissue allograft: tissue donated with consent after delivery and processed by a U.S. tissue establishment. That preparation contains cell populations, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), along with the structural proteins and signalling molecules that come with the tissue.

It is an allograft, meaning donated tissue rather than your own cells. That means no bone-marrow draw from your hip and no liposuction to harvest fat. It is a single in-home procedure, placed under ultrasound guidance when needed.

Under Florida law you receive the state’s stem cell therapy notice and written informed consent before any treatment, and you can ask to see the supplier’s accreditation and the lot’s viability report. How we follow Florida’s stem cell rules.

How it works

From first call to follow-up, at home

A free 15-minute phone call. We listen to your history and tell you honestly whether an evaluation is worth your time.
An in-home physician evaluation. History, exam, your imaging and your goals, in your own living room. You receive the Florida stem cell therapy notice and written informed consent before any decision.
Comprehensive blood work. Ordered before any plan is finalized, because inflammation and metabolic health shape what is reasonable to attempt.
A written plan, if one makes sense. Stem cell therapy is one option. Exosomes or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may fit better, and sometimes the right answer is none of them.
Your procedure, at home. Placed under ultrasound guidance when needed, with observation afterward.
Scheduled follow-up. Check-ins at set intervals and a functional reassessment at about 3 months, built into the plan.

Candidacy

Who is and isn’t a candidate

Reasons we would not proceed

An active infection in or near the treatment area.
An active malignancy near the treatment site.
Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
A clear surgical indication. If you need a surgeon, we will tell you so.

Timing issues we work around

A corticosteroid injection into the same area within the past 4 weeks. We wait it out.
Anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) within 5 days of a procedure. These are paused beforehand.
Blood thinners, held or adjusted only with your prescribing physician.

What to expect

The realistic timeline

These are the intervals we plan around. They are not a promise about your result.

NSAIDs paused for 5 days beforehand.
You are observed for 30–60 minutes after the procedure.
Range-of-motion work resumes at about 7–10 days.
When change occurs it is gradual, most often around weeks 3–6.
Functional reassessment at 3 months; a repeat, if warranted, at 4–6 months.

Honest by design

What the evidence does and does not show

For rotator cuff tendinopathy and partial tears, biologic trials have reported improvement in some patients and no advantage over control in others; evidence for cell-containing preparations is earlier still.

The stem cell and other biologic therapies we use are investigational and may be provided on an off-label basis. No stem cell therapy is FDA-approved for orthopedic, pain or general use, and nobody, including us, can tell you in advance that it will work for you.

The published research is early. Much of it is laboratory and animal work, the human studies are mostly small, and some well-run trials have found no advantage over placebo. We will not quote numbers from a study and imply they are your results.

What we will do is examine you, review your imaging and blood work, and tell you plainly whether you look like a reasonable candidate. Some people leave our evaluation with a recommendation to see a surgeon instead. That is a good outcome.

What stem cell therapy costs at REVĪV

Single-area treatment starts at $2,997 for 1 mL, and some patients need only 1 mL. A complete care plan is quoted only after a physician evaluation, because the right amount depends on your imaging, your history and how many areas are involved. Patient financing is available for those who qualify. HSA and FSA cards are accepted. Insurance does not cover it.

Your first 15-minute phone call is free. The in-home physician consultation is $199, credited in full toward your care plan if you move forward. Services you have paid for and not received are 100% refundable.

Common questions

Shoulder stem cell therapy: questions

Can stem cell therapy repair a torn rotator cuff?

We do not claim that. A full-thickness tear with weakness is usually surgical. Partial tears and tendinopathy are what we evaluate.

Do I need an MRI first?

Not necessarily. Bring any imaging you have; if more is worth getting, your physician will tell you what and why.

How much does it cost?

Single-area treatment starts at $2,997 for 1 mL. The $199 in-home consultation is credited toward your plan.

Is it FDA-approved?

No. It is investigational and offered under Florida’s stem cell therapy law.
