Hearing the words “rotator cuff tear” after a shoulder MRI is alarming for most patients — but a tear doesn’t automatically mean you need surgery. Many partial and even some full-thickness rotator cuff tears can be managed successfully with physiotherapy, manual therapy, and regenerative injection therapy, particularly in patients who aren’t high-demand overhead athletes.
GFC vs PRP for Knee and Joint Pain: Which Regenerative Injection Is Right for You?
Both GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) are made from your own blood and are used to treat joint pain, tendon injuries, and sports injuries without surgery. The difference lies in how each is processed — and that difference affects what’s injected, how the joint responds afterwards, and which patients tend to benefit most from each. MT Hospital offers both GFC and PRP at our Baneshwor and Dhobighat clinics, and our specialists help you choose the right one based on your specific condition.
