Stem Cell Injections

Stem cells are the body’s master cells that have the unique ability to develop into many different types of cells. When injected into an injured or arthritic joint, stem cells can promote healing by:

  • Reducing inflammation
  • Stimulating new cartilage growth
  • Creating new tendon and ligament tissue
  • Releasing healing proteins

Stem cell therapy is an outpatient procedure that delivers concentrated stem cells directly into the damaged joint. Many patients experience: Decreased joint pain & stiffness, Stimulating new cartilage growth, Faster recovery from injury or arthritis flare-ups. This cutting-edge treatment is showing great promise for those suffering from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, torn ligaments/tendons, and other joint conditions.

  • Reduce inflammation and pain
  • Stimulate the formation of new cartilage
  • Increase production of natural joint lubrication
  • Alter pain receptors to diminish pain sensation
