A stem cell knee injection is a regenerative medicine method that nurtures the cartilage with stimulant factors, growth factors and most important special cells, with the capacity of duplication and differentiation into cartilage. This is a low invasive and autologous procedure, which means the infused stem cells come from your own bone marrow, this can be a better, faster and long term solution to your problem (compared to other techniques such as surgery or PRP). The purpose of stem cell therapy is to help repair damaged tissue, improve organs function and stop the progress of the base illness. In this specific Knee procedure the stem cells are taken from the bone marrow by aspiration. Immediately after, the whole sample containing not only the stem cells, but also growth and stimulant factors, is administered in the area of interest. We recommend performing this direct knee injection at least 2 to 3 times, one every six months or every year to maximize the results of the treatment.
