How Stem Cell Therapy Can Relieve Your Knee Pain

Regenerative medicine therapies – like platelet-rich plasma and stem cell therapy - have transformed the treatment of knee conditions from meniscus tears, osteoarthritis, traumatic ligament injuries, and more. Even if you think you’ve tried everything and are contemplating joint replacement, you should consider Stem Cells Knee Treatment to help regenerate tissue and decrease inflammation and pain in your knees.

Stem Cells Knee Treatment is a non-surgical procedure that requires a minimal investment of time, has a faster recovery period, is completely natural and does not require pain medication.

Using stem cells and their derivatives to trigger healing, stem cell therapy has shown great promise in stimulating the body's natural healing processes and also appears to have immune-modulating properties which help control pain and inflammation in the knee. From runner’s knee to ACL tears, Stem Cells Knee Treatment is especially beneficial for knee injuries involving soft tissues like muscles, ligaments, and tendons.

What is Stem Cells Knee Treatment?

In the rapidly developing field of regenerative medicine, stem cell therapy is one of the cutting-edge therapeutic treatments – along with others like platelet-rich plasma and prolotherapy – being used to treat musculoskeletal conditions and injuries, including those that affect joints like the knee.

Stem cell therapy has shown incredible potential to stimulate and accelerate your body’s natural ability to heal itself and can be successfully used to manage painful joint conditions.

Stem cells are "undifferentiated" cells, which allows them to develop into the types of cells needed to repair or replace damaged tissue. Because of that, stem cell therapy has the potential to repair tissues that are too damaged to heal on their own. Stem cells may be able to stimulate the formation of cartilage, tendon, ligaments, bone and fibrous connective tissue.

Regenerative medicine practitioners inject stem cells into damaged tissues to:

• Help form new blood vessels
• Activate endogenous stem cells
• Enable new cell growth

Cell-free stem cell-derived therapy may be an even more efficient way of delivering regenerative proteins to degenerating tissue.

Stem cells can be sourced from adipose (fat) tissue and contain cytokines, growth factors, and exosomes. Bone marrow stem cells are another viable option for knee conditions. Umbilical cord stem cells are used too.

Which Knee Conditions Can Stem Cell Therapy Treat?

Osteoarthritis and tendonitis are perfect examples of particularly problematic knee conditions that do not respond well to conventional treatment. Because tendon and cartilage tissue have limited access to blood flow and do not receive necessary growth factors, nutrients and cells required to heal, the knee inevitably experiences degeneration, loss of function, and chronic pain and inflammation.

Stem Cell therapy is able to target damaged muscles, ligaments, cartilage and tendons in the knee – alleviating pain, reducing inflammation and accelerating the healing process. Stem Cells Knee Treatment delivers concentrated cells and growth factors directly at the point of injury, damage or deterioration in the knee and can trigger a powerful healing response that begins repairing and regenerating tissue. Stem Cells Knee Treatment can restore function and mobility quickly.

The following knee conditions generally respond well to Stem Cells Knee Treatments:

• Ligament Injuries such as ACL tears
• Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), also known as runner’s knee
• Osteoarthritis
• Meniscus Tears
• Tendonitis
• Bursitis
• Cartilage damage/defect

FAQs

How long will it take for me to see results?

Results vary among Dr. Borenstein’s patients. You may see a difference in function, pain and inflammation and start feeling better within the first six weeks. Your stem cell therapy will continue to work inside your body for four to six months after the procedure, during which time you should see continued improvement. Results will vary depending on your age, general health, pain level, diet, lifestyle and aftercare.

How many Stem Cells Knee Treatments will I need?

The number of Stem Cells Knee Treatments you may need for knee pain and injury will vary depending on your particular condition and how your body responds to Stem Cell Therapy. Most patients require one to three injections. Some people experience significant improvement after just one injection, while others sometimes require a series of injections over time. The specific number and timing of treatments will be determined by Dr. Borenstein as he evaluates your progress.

Is Stem Cell Therapy safe for me?

In general, Stem Cell Therapy has an excellent safety profile. Please discuss all of your safety concerns at our first session. If you have specific allergies (e.g., to stainless steel), have hemostatic (bleeding) dysfunction, anemia, cancer, or blood clotting disorders, any injections may be inadvisable, including Stem Cell Therapy injections. Also, if you are pregnant or nursing or taking certain medications, we may need to delay or advise against treatment.

You can count on Dr. Borenstein to evaluate if Stem Cell Therapy is the best choice for treating your knee after looking at your medical history, your genetic background and any specific risk factors you may have before we begin your treatment, to ensure your Stem Cells Knee Treatment is both safe and effective.

Are the Stem Cell Injections painful?

Most of our patients experience little to no discomfort from these injections. The injections are considered minimally painful. Of course, some discomfort is expected with any injection. The pain level varies depending on an individual’s tolerance for pain and reaction to needles. The treatment area also can make a difference. At the very worst, you may feel a brief, sharp pain or pressure as the needle enters your skin, and you may experience a mild ache or tenderness after treatment.
