Stem Cell Therapy

If you suffer from chronic back or joint pain, you’ve probably already tried pain pills, cortisone injections, and physical therapy, and you may even be trying to decide if it’s time to have surgery. But did you know that new advances in cellular medicine could help you avoid surgery and eliminate pain by harnessing the intelligence and healing abilities of your own cells?

Stem Cell Therapy FAQ

What is Stem Cell (Cellular) Therapy?

Stem cell therapy uses healing cells from a patient’s own bone marrow to support tissue repair. The bone marrow is processed into bone marrow concentrate (BMC) and injected into the injured area using imaging guidance.

How does Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC) Therapy work?

BMC contains cells that help regulate inflammation and support the body’s natural repair process. When placed precisely into damaged tissue, it may improve joint function and reduce pain over time.

Who is a good candidate for Stem Cell Therapy?

Patients with joint, cartilage, tendon, or ligament damage who want to avoid or delay surgery may be candidates. A consultation and imaging are needed to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for a specific condition.

What conditions may benefit from Stem cell therapy?

Stem cell therapy is commonly used for conditions such as knee arthritis, cartilage defects, tendon injuries, ligament damage, and some spine-related issues. It is not appropriate for every condition.

Is Stem Cell Therapy safe and supported by research?

When performed using a patient’s own bone marrow and image guidance, stem cell therapy has a strong safety profile. Clinical studies show improvements in pain and function for certain orthopedic conditions, though results vary by patient.

Are birth-tissue or “off-the-shelf” stem cells the same?

No. Products made from amniotic, placental, or Wharton’s jelly tissues do not contain live stem cells. Evidence-based orthopedic care relies on a patient’s own cells combined with precise, image-guided placement.
