Autologous stem cell treatment involves using a patient's own stem cells to repair or replace damaged cells and tissues. The process typically includes harvesting stem cells from the patient's bone marrow and then reintroducing them into the patient's body at the site of injury or damage. This approach reduces the risk of immune rejection and other complications associated with donor cells.

Stem cell treatment can lead to a variety of effects, including reduced inflammation and pain, improved tissue repair and regeneration, enhanced immune system function, and potential slowing or reversal of disease progression. The effectiveness of stem cell therapy can vary depending on the specific condition being treated and the type of stem cells used.

It is recommended to receive one or up to two injections maximum. We obtain stem cells from your bone marrow, with a maximum extraction volume of 90-120cc per session. For a single-site injection, we use approximately 45-60cc. Therefore, the maximum number of sites that can be treated in one session is two.

The time it takes to see results from stem cell treatment can vary depending on the specific condition being treated and the individual patient. Generally, patients may notice improvements within a few weeks, but it can take several months to see significant changes. For example, joint pain and arthritis may start showing results within 4 to 6 weeks, with full recovery taking 3 to 6 months. Chronic conditions like autoimmune diseases may take longer, often 3 to 6 months or more, to see noticeable improvements.

The duration of the effects of stem cell treatment can vary depending on the specific condition being treated, the type of stem cells used, and individual patient factors. Generally, patients may experience benefits for several months to a few years. For example, in cases of joint pain and arthritis, improvements can last for several years, while in other conditions, such as certain autoimmune diseases, the effects might be more temporary and require additional treatments.

Using bone marrow stem cells has several advantages, especially in the context of autologous stem cell treatments. These cells have a high concentration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which can differentiate into various types of cells such as bone, cartilage, and fat cells, making them effective for musculoskeletal conditions like joint pain and arthritis. Additionally, they are readily accessible and can be harvested through a minimally invasive procedure, with a lower risk of rejection and complications since they come from the patient's own body. This ensures better compatibility and reduces the likelihood of immune responses, providing a robust and reliable source of regenerative cells for many treatments.

Stem cell treatment can cause some discomfort, but the level of pain varies depending on the specific procedure and individual patient. Common sensations include mild pain or discomfort at the injection or harvest site, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most patients find the procedure tolerable and report significant relief from their underlying condition afterward.
