Is Stem Cell Therapy Safe? What the Research and Patients Say
Is Stem Cell Therapy Safe? What the Research and Patients Say
Stem Cell Therapy is a non-surgical procedure that avoids the risk and extended rehabilitation required by surgery. With a minimal investment of time, it offers faster recovery, is completely natural and does not necessitate pain medications. Using stem cells and their derivatives can accelerate healing, regenerate tissue and decrease inflammation. We partner with biologic suppliers that meet strict sourcing and processing standards. Our satisfied patients offer the most positive, heartfelt reviews of their experiences with Stem Cell Therapy and its safety.
Key Takeaways
- Stem Cell Therapy uses stem cells sourced from fat, bone marrow or umbilical cords for the repair and regeneration of severely damaged tissue.
- Stem Cell Therapy is increasingly utilized as a safer alternative, avoiding the risks of surgery and extended rehabilitation.
- Extraction of umbilical cord blood is possibly the least invasive and safest option of sourcing stem cells. Derived from donors and collected in hospital settings, they are sold in standard concentrations and considered a high-quality source of stem cells.
- Our clinic works with ZEO ScientifiX for products that are processed in FDA-registered, cGMP-compliant laboratory environments, guaranteeing ethical, non-fetal sourcing and donor screening, as well as third-party testing and documented quality controls.
- With its natural healing properties, Stem Cell Therapy is a minimally invasive, outpatient treatment that is safe and effective, offers little to no downtime, is non-steroidal, promotes soft tissue growth and has no adverse reactions.
- Compared to all other stem cell centers in Florida, Manhattan Integrative Medicine has received the most positive Stem Cell Therapy reviews, attesting not only to safety, but our patients’ overall satisfaction with every aspect of their treatment.
What Does the Latest Research Say About the Safety of Stem Cell Therapy?
Regenerative Medicine treatments like Stem Cell Therapy can be effective for a myriad of conditions ranging from severe osteoarthritis to rotator cuff injury or golfer's elbow. Stem Cell Therapy utilizes stem cells derived from bone marrow, umbilical cords or fat to promote healing and reduce inflammation. In some cases, it has been shown to regenerate, repair or replace damaged tissue.
Under the umbrella of Stem Cell Therapy, Exosome Therapy can be as effective as stem cells without requiring storage and transplantation of live cells, offering perhaps a safer option in some cases.
With its natural healing properties, Stem Cell Therapy is a minimally invasive, outpatient treatment that is considered safe and effective, has little to no downtime, is non-steroidal, promotes soft tissue growth and typically has no adverse reactions.
A Mayo Clinic study showed no serious adverse effects occurred among any participants with paralysis from severe spinal cord injuries. The most commonly reported side effects included headache and musculoskeletal pain resolved with over-the-counter medication. It is one of many studies confirming the effectiveness and safety of Stem Cell Therapy.

Even Safer Sourcing: Donor-Derived Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cells
The naturally occurring balance of cytokines and growth factors is thought to make umbilical cord blood a great resource for allograft tissue geared towards bone growth and tissue regeneration, enabling patients to enjoy safe, non-surgical treatments in the amount of time normally required for a traditional office visit.
Umbilical cord stem cells contain mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), sourced from safe, reliable hospital sources. Cord blood stem cells are strictly screened in compliance with FDA and cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) standards. They are sold in standard concentrations and believed to be of the highest quality.
As no potentially risky or painful surgery is required, extraction of umbilical cord blood is possibly the least invasive and safest option of sourcing stem cells.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
When should you seek Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem Cell Therapy is a safe, effective alternative to risky surgery and extended rehabilitation. When surgery seems to be your only option, Stem Cell Therapy can be used instead, especially if:
- Your condition or injury is not healing or resolving itself quickly enough
- Pain and inflammation persist
- You have not experienced progress with conservative or traditional treatments
- Your condition does not have another treatment option that can achieve your goals
If you have already tried conventional treatments, including steroids, narcotic pain and anti-inflammatory medications, as well as other options like physical therapy, Stem Cell Therapy is a potentially safe and effective option. Call to schedule a consultation to determine if stem cell therapy is right for you.
What type of physician should you see for Stem Cell Therapy?
To ensure your Stem Cell Therapy is safe, it is essential to work with a board-certified medical doctor who is knowledgeable about the latest in Regenerative Medicine treatments like Stem Cell Therapy and has years of experience. You also want to work with an established functional and integrative medicine specialist, since both medical approaches are uniquely helpful in advancing healing and overall health.
