Stem Cells For Orthopedic Conditions

What are stem cells for orthopedic conditions?

Stem cells are specialized cells that can form different types of cells, including bone, muscle, blood, and many other types. They help repair damaged tissues naturally, optimizing the healing of joint pain and other orthopedic conditions or injuries.

Stem cells are found in placentas, umbilical cord blood, bone marrow, fat cells, and other areas of the body.

Which orthopedic conditions can stem cells help treat?

Stem cells available at Restoration Orthopedics are used to help treat the following conditions and more:

• Joint pain and inflammation
• Shoulder, hip, knee, elbow, wrist, and ankle injuries
• Arthritis pain and degeneration
• Strains and sprains
• Fractures
• Muscle, tendon, ligament, and other soft tissue injuries
• Sports injuries
• Car accident injuries
• Work-related injuries
• Injuries from falls

They work to regenerate new cells, speed up healing, lessen inflammation, and diminish musculoskeletal discomfort. 

Am I a candidate for stem cells for an orthopedic condition?

Your Restoration Orthopedics specialist discusses your symptoms and medical history, completes a physical exam, and may order diagnostic tests to determine how to best treat an orthopedic injury or wear-and-tear. 

They may suggest you undergo blood testing, X-rays, an MRI, a CT scan, or other imaging procedures to create the best treatment based on your specific needs and goals.

Restoration Orthopedics also offers viscosupplementation, cortisone injections, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, which use part of your blood to stimulate new cell growth and natural healing. If you have a severe injury or pain, your provider may recommend orthopedic surgery.

What happens during stem cell therapy for orthopedic conditions?

Restoration Orthopedics obtains stem cells from your fat or bone marrow, or uses donated stem cells from a lab that have been tested for purity, quality, and safety. Your specialist cleans and numbs the area and may use imaging guidance to gently inject stem cells into injured tissues while you relax comfortably. 

After the procedure, you can resume most typical daily activities because downtime is minimal. Over time, new cells form, and you can expect enhanced healing, less inflammation, and reduced pain. Your specialist determines if you’re a candidate for multiple treatment sessions, periodic maintenance injections, or stem cell treatments combined with other therapies.

They follow up to ensure effective, lasting results and an exceptional quality of life. Contact the Restoration Orthopedics office at any time with questions. It’s also helpful to eat a nutritious diet, avoid smoking, exercise regularly, avoid excessive alcohol, minimize stress, and get plenty of sleep.
