Stem cell injections are a regenerative therapy that uses the body’s own healing cells to repair damaged tissues such as joints, tendons, and spinal discs. Stem cells are collected from the patient’s bone marrow or adipose tissue, processed, and then reinjected into the affected area under imaging guidance.
Heal from within—natural restoration for long-term wellness.
Eat a light meal before your appointment and stay hydrated. Wear loose clothing that allows access to the treatment site. Let your provider know if you’re taking blood thinners or anti-inflammatory medications, which may need to be paused. Arrange for a ride home if sedation is used.
You may feel some soreness, stiffness, or mild swelling in the injection area for several days. Ice and rest can help reduce discomfort. Regenerative healing takes time—most patients begin to feel improvement in a few weeks, with continued healing over several months. Avoid strenuous activity or NSAIDs immediately following the injection unless otherwise advised.
