Stem Cell Therapy As A Treatment For Joint Pain

Are you suffering from arthritis in your knees or hips? Do you want to avoid open shoulder surgery? Then stem cell therapy might be for you!

Stem cell therapy is still a relatively new field. Studies are being performed across the country to see how stem cell therapy can benefit people suffering from joint pain, and right now therapy for osteoarthritis in the knee has had the most research and is showing great success. Many find that they have a significant reduction in pain and are able to return to active sports like skiing and cycling.

What Are Stem Cells?

Stem cells are a very special cell that can divide and duplicate themselves as well as develop into any cell in the body! For the purposes of joint pain treatment, a stem cell can develop into a cartilage cell or a bone cell to replace the cartilage that has been lost, cushioning the joint and providing pain relief.

Stem Cells and Arthritis

One of the most common causes of chronic joint pain is arthritis — which is inflammation of the joints. Arthritis causes cartilage to break down. Without cartilage, the bones in your joints are rubbing against each other, causing severe pain and stiffness.

Stem cells can be delivered through injections directly into the arthritic joint, where they can multiply and help cushion the joints. When the stem cells are injected, the are delivered exactly where they’re needed — the site of cartilage damage. You can think of them like a highly-scientific band aide, and we use medical imaging to make sure we put that stem cell therapy band aide right where you need it!
