Dennis M. Lox, MD, is a Sports and Regenerative Medicine expert. He has treated his share of Tennis players with shoulder problems. The most frequent complaints are supraspinatus tears – also known as a rotator cuff tear (one of the 4 rotator cuff tendons), impingement syndrome, and glenoid Labrum tears. All difficult surgeries, each very painful with lengthy recoveries. Not good options at all for getting back on the court sooner rather than later.

When consulted by a tennis player, Dr. Lox recommended a good rehabilitation program. It does pay to have the best in this regard, and a course of stem cells applied to direct the healing response.
