Stem Cell Therapy! An alternative for Knee Replacement

Surgery is not the only option to get treated for severe knee pain. Stem cell therapy is a new innovation for treatment of knee problems. Stem cell therapy is a same-day procedure where stem cells are harvested and re-injected into the knees on the same day. For most patients the complete procedure is a series of stem cell injections that happen over the course of about a week, depending on each patient’s situation.

Stem cells are the building blocks of our body. Our stem cells can be found in our bone marrow, blood, and adipose tissues. The adipose tissues come from the same family of cells that form joints, muscles, and bone. These stem cells can be used to repair our body parts if needed.

How is a stem cell injection helpful?

We are constantly regenerating our tissues and organs. Our healing ability relies on our body’s natural ability. Stem cells repair our body but during older age or severe injuries, we sometimes don’t get it in the required amount. The stem cell knee injections help to address knee problems by greatly increasing the body’s natural repair cells and the knee starts healing. A surgeon will harvest cells from areas rich in mesenchymal stem cells, then concentrate those cells in a lab before precisely re-injecting them into the damaged knee area to repair.
