Tendons connect muscle to bone and are built to withstand tensile (pulling) forces. But over time, repetitive use or trauma can cause microtears, thickening, and inflammation—a condition called tendinosis. Tendons
MSCs help by:
Stimulating tenocyte regeneration (cells that build tendon fibers)
01
02
Realigning disorganized collagen fibers
Reversing chronic inflammation in the tendon sheath
03
04
Improving elasticity and tensile strength
This leads to improved load transfer from muscle to bone and relief from conditions like rotator cuff tendinopathy, Achilles tendinosis, and elbow overuse syndromes.
Ligaments
Ligaments connect bone to bone and provide joint stability. When injured, they often heal with scar tissue or remain weak, increasing the risk of re-injury.
MSC therapy helps ligaments by:
Encouraging proper collagen synthesis and fiber alignment
Promoting fibroblast activation for strong tissue remodeling
Enhancing cross-linking of fibers to restore tensile capacity
Patients often notice greater stability and confidence in movement, especially after sprains or chronic laxity.
