Orthopedic & Joint

Move without bracing for it.

Stem cell treatment for joints, tendons and spine, evaluated case by case by our physicians.

Request a consultation

An individual medical review. An informed decision.

What this area covers

Osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, shoulder and spine. Injuries to the knee, shoulder, hip and back that have not resolved: meniscus and ACL tears, rotator cuff damage, labral tears, disc disease and sciatica. The common thread is a joint or tendon that has stopped repairing itself, and a patient who has run out of conventional options short of surgery.

How treatment is typically delivered

Who we evaluate

Adults with a joint or soft-tissue condition confirmed by imaging, who have not found lasting relief from physical therapy, medication or injections, may be candidates. That includes patients for whom surgery has been suggested but who would prefer to delay or avoid it. Candidacy is decided by our physicians after a medical review of your history and imaging, never by a form. Active infection, certain cancers and some other conditions rule treatment out.

Questions

Asked before, answered plainly.

Is stem cell therapy a replacement for joint surgery?

Not always. It should not be assumed to replace or postpone surgery. Your existing specialist can help you evaluate established options alongside any proposed regenerative treatment. Our physicians tell you which they believe applies to you, after reviewing your imaging.

How are the cells given for a joint problem?

Usually as a targeted injection into the affected joint or tendon under imaging guidance, sometimes combined with intravenous delivery. One visit, no incision, no general anesthetic.

Can more than one joint be treated?

Often, yes. The protocol is written for your case after your imaging has been reviewed.

What imaging do I need?

Recent X-rays or an MRI of the affected joint. Your patient advisor will tell you what is needed and how to arrange it if you do not have them.

Start with your case.
