Stem Cell Therapy

A Non-Surgical Treatment to Help Your Joints Heal

Stem cell therapy is an innovative treatment for joint pain offered at National Spine & Pain Centers. For many patients, stem cell therapy is a viable alternative to invasive surgery for pain relief. There is a lot of misleading information in the public sphere about what exactly stem cell therapy is, so make sure you get the facts before you decide whether or not this treatment is for you.

Stem cell therapy has proven to be an effective treatment for many conditions, including:

National Spine & Pain Centers utilize the Regenexx® Stem Cell Therapy protocol. This method produced the highest concentration of stem cells possible, resulting in faster and more effective healing. All of our centers make use of advanced imaging guidance to ensure that the stem cells are applied to the areas that need them most.

What is Stem Cell Therapy?

Stem cells are cells that take on the properties of whatever cells they are surrounded by. For instance, if a patient has osteoarthritis caused by worn down cartilage, supplying the affected joint with stem cells can help the cartilage regrow.

Stem cells are obtained from your own body – usually bone marrow. Since the cells come from you, there is no risk of an adverse reaction when they are injected somewhere else. Once the stem cells are in the injured area, they will get to work healing damaged tissue, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bones.
