What Are Stem Cell Injections?

At S.M.A.R.T. Spine Institute and Surgery Center, one of the premier medical clinics in Arcadia CA, our integrated team of medical doctors, chiropractors, and therapists work together to provide effective and best-practice services for joint pain and dysfunction. One of the newer treatment options we offer is known as stem cell therapy. 

Stem Cell Injections in LA: What Are They?

Stem cells are special "undifferentiated" cells found naturally in an adult human that can grow into almost any type of cell within the body. With stem cell therapy, a physician extracts these stem cells from your bone marrow or adipose tissue and injects them into an arthritic joint--usually the hip or knee. Once within the joint space, stem cells promote anti-inflammation, pain relief, and overall healing and regeneration of healthy joint tissue. 

What Are the Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy?

There are many reasons why appropriate candidates opt to receive stem cell therapy. In fact, compared to traditional orthopedic joint surgery like knee replacements, stem cell therapy is:

• Faster. Most of our patients who have received stem cell injections in LA are up and moving within 24 hours.
• Easier. This is non-surgical procedure can be performed in an outpatient setting, saving the patient time and energy. 
• Less painful. The non-surgical technique means less pain for the patient, as well as significant reduction in chronic joint pain within 1-2 months following the procedure. 

Los Angeles Stem Cell Therapy: What To Expect

At our integrated medical clinic, the S.M.A.R.T team has a small army of doctors, chiropractors, and therapists on staff to ensure continuity of care and effective intervention for our patients living with chronic joint pain. If you're scheduled to visit us for Los Angeles stem cell therapy, first you'll undergo a thorough patient history and examination to determine the type of joint pain you're having and whether you're an appropriate candidate for stem cell therapy. Once it has been established that stem cell therapy is a good choice for you, you'll return for a single day procedure of stem cell extraction and ultrasound-guided injection into the affected joint. 

Outcomes for people who have received stem cell injections tend to be better when provided concurrently with chiropractic care, physical therapy, and massage. S.M.A.R.T. Spine Institute is proud to offer all of these services and more to complement our stem cell therapy and maximize recovery and results for our patients.
