WHAT IS STEM CELL THERAPY?

Stem cells are present throughout the human body. A vital part of the regenerative process of healing, stem cells produce new tissue in their own specialized area by replicating themselves. Some “specialties,” like muscle and bone stem cells, can help heal orthopedic conditions through stem cell therapy. Isolated stem cells are injected into the area of concern, relieve pain and stimulate your body’s own healing process and tissue regeneration.

Stem Cell Therapy

• No known side effects
• Reduce the need for pain medication
• Reduce joint swelling, pain, and stiffness
• May slow the progression of arthritis
• Significantly decrease recovery time after surgery or trauma
• Minimal down time - patients resume normal activity
• Potential to regenerate cartilage and bone
• No risk of immune response or rejection

The Process

• A sample of bone marrow is harvested from the pelvis in our office or under light sedation in an operating room.
• This minimally-invasive procedure takes approximately 20 minutes followed by filtration of product for maximum concentration.
• Nothing is added to your bone marrow.
• The maximally concentrated Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC) or Stem Cell is injected into the painful or arthritic joint (knee, shoulder, hip, etc).
