Stem Cell Therapy
Find out if you’re a candidate for the revolutionary adult bone Stem Cell Therapy. This treatment can relieve joint pain and promote faster, natural healing. Especially in patients who are experiencing pain from constant motion or overuse of joints. This advancement which is an in-office treatment, is part of regenerative or restorative medicine. It helps to heal chronic or extreme pain due to orthopaedic injuries, diseases, and disorders of the elbow, hip, knee and shoulder. It may help with post-surgical patients to enhance and speed-up healing responses. Because we use your own stem cells (autologous), your body does not reject this treatment.
This treatment targets aging or deteriorated stem cells. Your stem cells are collected, spun in a special solution, and injected back into the joint’s soft tissue usually within 45 minutes. From there, regeneration begins. How long it lasts depends on your body’s response. It’s especially effective for patients experiencing early joint arthritis.
