Chronic pain can quietly take over your days—limiting work, sleep, and movement.

International patients benefit from English-speaking staff, transparent pricing, and streamlined scheduling.

What Is Stem Cell Therapy for Chronic Pain?

Stem cell therapy uses your body’s regenerative potential (or carefully prepared biologics) to target pain drivers such as tissue degeneration, micro-tears, and persistent inflammation. Delivered via image-guided injections, treatment focuses on restoring joint, tendon, ligament, or soft-tissue health—aiming to reduce pain and improve mobility with a minimally invasive approach.

Conditions Commonly Considered

  • Osteoarthritis-related chronic joint pain (knee, hip, shoulder, ankle)
  • Tendinopathy and enthesopathy (rotator cuff, Achilles, patellar, tennis elbow)
  • Chronic ligament sprains and instability (MCL/LCL, ankle, shoulder)
  • Post-injury or post-surgical pain with lingering inflammation
  • Select spine-adjacent soft-tissue pain (facet-related or paraspinal soft tissues)*

*Spine cases require careful evaluation and may involve combined therapies.

Who May Be a Candidate?

  • Ongoing pain ≥3 months despite rest, medication, or standard injections
  • Imaging (X-ray/MRI/ultrasound) shows degeneration or chronic soft-tissue injury
  • Able to follow a structured rehabilitation plan
  • Seeking to delay or avoid surgery when appropriate

Contraindications can include active infection, certain blood disorders, uncontrolled metabolic disease, or pregnancy. A medical evaluation is required.

Our Treatment Process

1) Comprehensive Assessment

Detailed history, exam, and imaging to identify pain generators and confirm candidacy.

2) Personalized Plan

Target tissues (cartilage, tendon, ligament, fascia) are selected; injection strategy is tailored to your condition.

3) Image-Guided Procedure

Ultrasound or fluoroscopy ensures accurate placement for optimal effect.

4) Integrated Rehabilitation

Phased rehab to restore mobility, strength, and neuromuscular control—critical for long-term results.

Expected Timeline & Results

  • Week 0–2: Soreness possible; emphasis on swelling control and gentle mobility
  • Week 3–6: Gradual pain reduction, better daily function
  • Week 8–12+: Strength and endurance gains; activity progression as advised
  • 3–6 months: Peak improvements commonly reported; maintenance program recommended

Results vary by diagnosis, severity, and adherence to rehab.

Benefits at a Glance

  • Minimally invasive alternative for select chronic pain conditions
  • Targets the source (degeneration/inflammation) rather than masking symptoms
  • Short recovery compared to surgery for the right candidates
  • Can complement PRP, physical therapy, and bracing when appropriate

Temporary flare, swelling, bruising, or procedure-site discomfort can occur; infection is rare. Not all patients respond. Your physician will review risks, benefits, and alternatives before treatment.
