Cell Therapy Effectiveness

DOES IT HELP?

Is Cell Therapy Effective?

In studies, cell therapy decreased pain or disability more than 50% in multiple orthopedic conditions. Doctors use cell therapy in a variety of conditions related to connective tissue and/or inflammation:

Ankle injuries
Back pain
Broken bones
Hip arthritis

Knee arthritis
Rotator cuff tears
Shoulder arthritis
Tendinopathy (tendon pain)

Cell therapy results depend on several factors including the type of therapy, the severity of the condition and patient characteristics. A cell therapy or regenerative medicine doctor can help patients understand what this type of treatment may do for their individual case.

Published medical studies can provide an idea of the cell therapy results some patients have experienced. In studies, autologous cell therapy has done the following:

Decreased arthritis pain by 35% to 80% in shoulders, hips or knees
Doubled the number of patients with intact rotator cuff repairs at 10-year follow-up
Improved back pain and disability by about 70% in degenerative disc disease
