Summary
This case study presents a 73-year-old patient with chronic supraspinatus syndrome and a one-year history of shoulder pain. Various treatment methods had failed, and as a last resort, the patient underwent medical exercise therapy.
He received four treatment sessions per week for 2½ months. Diagnostic ultrasound before and after 5½ months revealed that the supraspinatus tendon had regenerated, indicating that exercise, as a biomechanical stressor, played a significant role in tissue repair.
This study demonstrates the potential for low metabolic tissue structures to regenerate through exercise, offering an alternative to surgical interventions and providing hope for patients seeking non-invasive solutions to musculoskeletal issues.
