Stem-Cell-Based Therapy

What Is Stem-Cell-Based Therapy?

‍

Stem-cell therapy is an advanced treatment that uses undifferentiated cells to regenerate damaged tissues. These cells, harvested from your own body, are injected into the affected area to promote cellular repair and tissue regeneration.

Stem-cell therapy is particularly effective for:

• Degenerative disc disease (intradiscal)
• Facet joint arthritis
• Peripheral joint injuries (knee, hip, shoulder)
• Bursitis and tendonitis
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction

By promoting tissue regeneration, stem cells can improve both the structure and function of the affected joints or spinal segments.What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?

PRP therapy uses your own blood to accelerate healing and reduce inflammation. Platelets, rich in growth factors, are separated and concentrated before being injected directly into the injured or degenerative area.

PRP therapy can treat a variety of conditions, including:

• Knee, shoulder, and hip joint pain
• Tendon and ligament injuries
• Bursitis
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction
• Spinal discs and facet joint degeneration

The growth factors in PRP stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and enhance collagen production, helping patients experience long-term pain relief and improved function.

How PRP & Stem-Cell Therapies Work

PRP Therapy Process:

1. Blood draw: A small sample is taken in-office
2. Platelet separation: Blood is processed in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets
3. Injection: PRP is injected into the targeted area under imaging guidance

Stem-Cell Therapy Process:

1. Cell harvesting: Cells are obtained from bone marrow or fat tissue
2. Processing: Stem cells are concentrated and prepared for injection
3. Injection: Stem cells are delivered into the injured or degenerated tissue to stimulate repair

Both procedures are minimally invasive, outpatient, and require only a short recovery period.

Conditions Treated with PRP & Stem-Cell Therapy

These regenerative treatments are ideal for patients who have not responded to traditional therapies. Commonly treated conditions include:

• Ligament and tendon injuries
• Osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, shoulder, or ankle
• Chronic tendonitis or tendinopathy
• Spinal disc degeneration
• Facet joint arthritis
• Bursitis
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Sacroiliac joint dysfunction

PRP and stem-cell therapies naturally reduce inflammation, stimulate tissue repair, and improve joint and spinal function, often providing long-lasting results.

Benefits of Regenerative Medicine

• Non-surgical approach: Avoid invasive surgery and prolonged recovery
• Promotes natural healing: Uses your body’s own healing mechanisms
• Reduces inflammation: Alleviates pain and swelling naturally
• Targets the root cause of pain: Focuses on tissue repair rather than masking symptoms
• Long-lasting relief: Many patients experience months or even years of improved function

Who Is a Candidate?

These therapies are ideal for patients who:

• Have chronic pain from injury, arthritis, or degeneration
• Have not responded to physical therapy, medications, or other non-surgical treatments
• Wish to avoid invasive surgery
• Have mild to moderate tissue damage that can be regenerated

A thorough evaluation by our team will determine the best treatment plan for your condition.
