STEM CELL THERAPY

TREATMENT MODALITIES

A cellular biologic approach considered in select cases as part of an individualized treatment plan.

STEM CELL THERAPY

WHAT ARE STEM CELLS?

Stem cells are specialized cells capable of self-renewal and, depending on their type, differentiation into other cell types. Regenerative medicine may utilize mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) sourced from donated umbilical cord tissue, including Wharton’s Jelly, collected following a healthy birth.

HOW STEM CELLS SUPPORT REPAIR

MSCs are studied for two primary mechanisms:

CELLULAR DIFFERENTIATION

MSCs can differentiate into specialized cell types and interact with surrounding tissues.

PARACRINE SIGNALING

MSCs release growth factors and other bioactive molecules that can influence local inflammation and support the body’s repair processes.

As with any biologic therapy, potential benefits, limitations, and safety considerations are reviewed during your evaluation. Regenerative medicine remains an active area of clinical research, and certain medical histories—including a history of malignancy—require careful physician assessment before treatment.

INDIVIDUALIZED TREATMENT SELECTION

Stem cell therapy is not appropriate for every patient or condition. Your provider will review your diagnosis, medical history, previous treatments, and treatment goals to determine whether this approach is appropriate for your care.

WHERE STEM CELL THERAPY MAY BE CONSIDERED

Orthopedics

Stem cell therapy may be considered for selected orthopedic conditions after clinical evaluation.

Wound Healing

In selected complex or slow-healing cases, stem cell therapy may be discussed as part of a comprehensive wound-care evaluation.

FAQ

Common Questions

Is stem cell therapy the same as a transplant?

No. Stem cell therapy discussed here differs from bone marrow or organ transplantation. Your provider will explain the specific treatment approach and what it involves.

Is stem cell therapy appropriate for everyone?

No. Candidacy depends on your diagnosis, medical history, and treatment goals. Your provider will determine if this option is appropriate.

Can other treatments be used with stem cells?

Depending on your condition, your provider may discuss PRP, exosome therapy, or shockwave therapy as part of a broader, individualized treatment plan.

DETERMINE IF STEM CELL THERAPY IS RIGHT FOR YOU

Stem cell therapy is considered following a comprehensive clinical evaluation. Schedule a consultation to discuss your condition, treatment goals, and whether this approach is appropriate for your care.

These regenerative therapies have not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for this specific use. They are offered as part of an individualized treatment plan following physician evaluation.
