Knee pain patients keep looking for new treatment options since conventional treatment options are not able to relieve knee pain for long. Stem cell treatment for knee pain is a highly effective treatment that stimulates natural healing in the knee joints. If you’re wondering whether this treatment option is right for you, read on.

Stem cell treatment

Stem cells are unique cells that have the potential to heal damaged tissue and regenerate damaged cells.

In stem cell treatment, stem cells are harvested from umbilical cord blood and injected into the patient’s damaged tissues in a quick and minimally invasive procedure. Then they go to work repairing and regenerating the tissue it has been injected into.

Reasons to choose stem cell treatment

Stem cell treatment offers two major benefits –

• It is minimally invasive (unlike surgery)
• Its effects last longer than many other treatments

The speed with which the stem cell treatment provides relief may vary from a few days to weeks. However, patients are usually able to engage in full physical activity after about 4-6 weeks.

Candidates for stem cell treatment

Since stem cell treatment works to repair and regenerate weakening or damaged tissue, it can act as an alternative to replacement surgery for patients experiencing knee pain, or other joint pain.

Ideal candidates are under the age of 75, in good overall health and physically active.

The following conditions can be treated with stem cell therapy –

• Osteoarthritis of the joints including knee, hip, shoulder, and ankle joints
• Partial rotator cuff tears
• Tendon tears, such as tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, quadriceps and patellar tendon tears
• Muscular tears
• Meniscal (cartilage) tears in the knee
• Discogenic back pain
• Spinal facet pain
• Chronic radiculopathy (pinched nerve)
• Sacroiliac joint pain

The best way to find out whether you are a good candidate for stem cell therapy for your knee pain, talk to a stem cell expert at a trusted stem cell treatment clinic. The doctor will assess your condition or injury, conduct a physical exam, review scans such as MRI or X-rays, ask for your symptoms and then arrive at an accurate diagnosis of the condition. Then your doctor can help you understand whether you are a good candidate for stem cell therapy and what you can expect from the treatment, for example, how long it will take for you to start seeing results.
