What is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem Cell Therapy is a cutting-edge regenerative treatment that uses the body’s own stem cells to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. This therapy is particularly effective for joint pain caused by degenerative conditions or injuries.
Conditions Treated
- Osteoarthritis (knee, hip, shoulder, etc.)
- Cartilage degeneration
- Tendon and ligament injuries
- Joint inflammation
- Sports injuries
How Does the Procedure Work?
Stem cells are harvested from the patient’s bone marrow or adipose (fat) tissue, processed to concentrate their healing properties, and then injected into the affected joint. These cells help regenerate damaged tissues and reduce pain over time.
What to Expect
- Consultation & Evaluation: A thorough assessment to determine if you’re a candidate.
- Stem Cell Extraction: The cells are collected from bone marrow or fat tissue.
- Processing & Injection: The stem cells are concentrated and injected into the affected joint.
- Recovery & Follow-Up: Patients may experience gradual improvement over weeks to months.
Benefits
- Non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure
- Uses the body’s natural healing ability
- Reduces pain and inflammation
- Improves joint mobility and function
- Slows down degeneration
Risks and Side Effects
While rare, potential risks include:
- Mild swelling or soreness at the injection site
- Temporary stiffness
- Infection (very rare)
- Variable effectiveness based on patient condition
