Stem Cell Therapy Q&A

What is stem cell therapy?

Stem cell therapy is a form of minimally invasive interventional pain management that offers significant benefits in healing musculoskeletal injuries.

Stem cells differ from other cells in two essential ways. They are capable of self-renewal through cell division, and can become specific organ or tissue cells.

As tissue cells, stem cells frequently divide to replace or heal damaged tissues. When induced to be organ cells, division only occurs under special conditions.

Your doctor injects stem cells collected from your blood into an injured area to promote natural healing of the damaged tissues.

What conditions can be treated with stem cell therapy?

Your doctor may use stem cell therapy to treat conditions like degenerative disc disease, arthritis of the joints, and pain caused by damaged nerves, muscle tissue, or tendons.

You may also benefit from stem cell therapy for conditions like:

Tennis elbow
Tendonitis
Achilles tendon injuries
Rotator cuff injuries

Your doctor evaluates your condition and medical history to determine if stem cell therapy is the right course of treatment for you.

How does stem cell therapy work?

During your appointment, your doctor withdraws blood from a vein in your arm. Next, they numb an area at the back of your hip where they use a needle to extract a small sample of bone marrow.

They process your blood and bone marrow samples in a lab, using a centrifuge to spin out the platelets from your blood. Your doctor then re-injects your stem cells and blood platelets into the injured area.

The re-injection delivers a higher number of stem cells to the specific area than your body produces naturally. Healthy cells generate and replace cells that are diseased or damaged by arthritis or a degenerative disease.

What are the benefits of stem cell therapy?

Stem cell therapy is effective in repairing damaged tissues and increasing the healing potential of injuries. Benefits of stem cell therapy include:

Faster healing time
Reduced levels of chronic pain
Enhanced functionality and mobility
Increased collagen production
Decreased risk of future injury

During your initial consultation, your doctor reviews the specific details of what you can expect from stem cell therapy based on your condition or injury.
