Stem cell therapy is emerging as a promising option for repairing damaged joints and delaying surgery.
In orthopedic care, stem cells harvested from a patient’s own bone marrow or fat tissue are injected into damaged joints.
These cells encourage cartilage regeneration, reduce inflammation, and may delay or prevent the need for joint replacement.
Benefits:
- Minimally invasive procedure
- Short recovery times
- Potential to improve mobility and reduce pain While research is ongoing, many clinics now offer stem cell therapy under regulated conditions, providing hope for patients with early‑stage osteoarthritis or sports injuries.
FAQ:
Q: Is stem cell therapy covered by insurance?
A: Often not yet; patients should verify with providers.
Q: How long do results last?
A: Many patients experience relief for months or years, depending on condition severity.
