Rotator cuff damage, shoulder impingement, and chronic tendinopathy are common presentations among Australians, particularly those with physically active lifestyles. Regenerative shoulder therapy provides a non-surgical alternative to surgical repair, using ultrasound-guided delivery to target damaged tendons with precision. Our Chiang Mai clinic offers Australian patients advanced shoulder treatment with rehabilitation programmes designed for handover to your local physiotherapist.
Shoulder regenerative therapy uses ultrasound-guided biological treatments to target damaged rotator cuff tendons, inflamed bursa, and degenerative shoulder tissue. Ultrasound guidance allows real-time visualisation during treatment, ensuring precise delivery to the affected structures. Treatment begins with diagnostic shoulder ultrasound and clinical assessment, followed by ultrasound-guided delivery of regenerative biologicals to the specific tendons, bursa, or joint structures involved.

Australian patients value the ultrasound-guided precision of regenerative shoulder therapy, which targets specific damaged tendons and tissue rather than relying on surgery. Recovery is significantly faster than surgical shoulder repair, with most patients resuming light activities within days. The treatment cost is a fraction of private orthopaedic surgery at home, and English-speaking staff ensure you understand every aspect of your shoulder treatment and rehabilitation plan.
Partial tears can respond well to regenerative therapy, promoting tissue repair without surgery.
A typical shoulder therapy programme takes three to five days in Chiang Mai, including initial assessment, treatment, post-procedure monitoring, and follow-up consultations. Your English-speaking coordinator will help plan your schedule.
Light activities within days. Full recovery over six to twelve weeks with physiotherapy.
Regenerative therapy addresses underlying tissue damage rather than just masking pain.
A programme is provided for continuation with your Australian physiotherapist.
Significantly more affordable than surgical shoulder repair in Australia.
No. Medicare does not cover regenerative shoulder therapies. Surgical shoulder repair may be partially covered through the public system, but regenerative alternatives are classified as elective and must be paid privately in Australia.
The TGA classifies regenerative shoulder therapies as biological medicines requiring ARTG listing. Most advanced protocols are not listed, limiting availability in Australian clinics. Some practitioners offer basic PRP for shoulder conditions, but comprehensive regenerative programmes are restricted.
Yes. We provide comprehensive treatment summaries, imaging, and a structured rehabilitation programme designed for handover to your Australian healthcare team. Remote follow-up consultations are also available.
