Stem cell therapy for joints is a natural, minimally-invasive alternative to total knee replacement surgery and other arthroscopic surgeries.
Stem cell therapy for joints is a state-of-the-art procedure which takes advantage of our bodies natural ability to heal itself. This cellular regenerative medical treatment is done without surgery and which is based on the latest scientific knowledge on biological cell regeneration.
Stem cell therapy together with optional ozone therapy reduces inflammation in a matter minutes, regenerates lost or damaged soft tissue. Patients have experienced very noticeable reduction in their pain due to the injury, increased range of motion and mobility.
Stems cells are blank cells that have the ability to develop and grow into any type of specialized cell or tissue in the body such as skin, cartilage, muscle, bone and organs. Stem cells allow the regeneration of cells that might have been damaged. Stem cells injected into and around the joints help regenerate damaged and worn tissue.
The injured or damaged joints are infiltrated with 25 million mesenchymal stem cells. The entire procedure is guided with the use of the latest Philips True Vue ultrasound equipment.
The infiltration procedure includes platelet rich plasma (PRP). A small sample of the patient’s blood is drawn usually from the arm, that blood sample is then placed into a device that will separate the PRP from the blood. This separation process takes about 20 to 30 minutes. The PRP is used together with the stem cells for infiltration.
This procedure typically requires 1 single visit when one knee is being treated and sometimes 2 visits if both knees are being treated. The second visit may be done later the same day or the following day, depending on the individual patients’ condition.
