What is stem cell therapy?

The idea behind stem cell therapy is simple: give an area that is struggling to heal the cells and signaling proteins it needs to repair itself. The cells are collected from your own bone marrow or fat tissue, concentrated in the clinic, and injected into the target area. Because the material comes from you, the treatment is autologous and personal by design.

At our clinic, stem cell therapy is most often discussed for joint pain, including knee osteoarthritis and cartilage wear, as well as tendon and ligament problems that have not responded to conservative care. It may help support tissue that has struggled to heal on its own.

• Knee osteoarthritis and cartilage wear
• Shoulder and rotator cuff problems
• Hip and back pain
• Tendon and ligament injuries
• Slow-healing soft tissue

Stem cell therapy is not a cure, and it is not a guarantee. Most cell-based treatments are not FDA-approved for the conditions they are used for, and results vary from person to person. An honest clinic says that plainly and bases its recommendations on a careful evaluation of your specific situation.

The right first step is a conversation. Call (808) 593-2525 or book online, and our team will help you understand whether stem cell therapy may be appropriate for your situation before you commit to anything.
