Stem Cell Therapy

The human body has multiple sites for stem cells to repair degenerated and injured structures. We have found the hip bone (iliac bone) to be very rich in stem cells and can harvested easily and within minutes. After the stem cells are obtained, minutes later they can be used for treatment in our outpatient state-of-the-art-facility.

Regenerative stem cell injections are performed using image guidance (i.e. ultrasound or fluoroscopy) to ensure accurate placement of the stem cells. Once the affected area is sterilized and numbed with a novocaine-type solution, stem cells are then injected into the damaged area to try and stimulate a healing response; regenerating and strengthening weakened tissue.

Stem cell injections are most commonly used for treatment of the following conditions:

• Spinal conditions including degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, spinal facet pain, pinched nerves, and sacroiliac (SI) joint pain
• Osteoarthritis of the joints including knee, hip, shoulder, and ankle joints
• Partial rotator cuff tears
• Persistent tendon tears such as tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, quadriceps, and patellar tendon tears
• Muscular tears
• Cartilage tears in the knee (meniscus)
• Non-healing bone fractures

Stem cell injections are designed to heal and strengthen damaged tissue. Because of this, pain relief is seen approximately two to three months after the entire treatment protocol has been completed, and will continue to improve till approximately 1 year.

If you are experiencing unresolved pain and need a long-term solution without surgery, look no further than stem cell therapy. This modern treatment solution utilizes the body’s natural healing process to rebuild damaged tissue, heal injuries more effectively, and eliminate pain. Stem cell therapy targets the underlying source of pain without relying on medication or surgery, and leads to increased function and mobility with a shorter recovery time than surgical options.
