About Stem Cells for Orthopedic Injury

The secret is out on stem cell therapy for orthopedic injuries. Sufferers of joint and shoulder pain have long endured less effective (and more risky) pain management solutions that only numbed the aches rather than treating the underlying issue. More recently, famous athletes like Tiger Woods and Steph Curry have availed themselves to this unique new treatment so they can shorten recovery time and get back in the game. 

Stem cell therapy is an effective treatment for a wide range of orthopedic injuries and ailments. It involves injecting your own processed stem cells into an injured bone or joint.^[1] The treatment may help reduce inflammation and create healthy new tissue. 

What Are Stem Cells?

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with the marvelous ability to transform themselves into any kind of cell in the body. They have the unlimited potential for unfettered replication, creating more stem cells or other specialized tissues that the body may need as it grows and develops. Stem cell therapy for orthopedic conditions harnesses this amazing ability, focusing it on achy joints and areas with chronic pain. 

Benefits

Stem cell therapy can reduce joint pain and increase mobility. It utilizes your body’s genetic desire to thrive and mobilizes its most potent healing processes. It may even eliminate the need for risky medications and invasive surgery.

Our patients come to us in pain and it is our distinct honor to help them return to the productivity of work and the joy of play. 

Candidates

Qualified candidates for stem cell therapy hail from all walks of life. Our elderly patients seek relief from the aches and pains that can come with age. Younger patients may have experienced a recent injury during athletic competition or some other adventurous activity. Both men and women are eligible for the procedure and they each have their own unique needs. Many of our patients have already sought out physical therapy or prescription medication, to no avail. The pain persists. 

Orthopedic Injury Areas of Treatment

Stem cells’ remarkable versatility makes them an effective treatment for multiple conditions throughout the entire body.

Shoulder

Leave your persistent shoulder pain in the past. Stem cell therapy is a minimally invasive solution to what once may have been a debilitating injury. Pain management medication can be potentially habit forming while surgery can carry its own risks. Stem cell therapy heals joints and reduces chronic discomfort. 

Elbow

Has your active lifestyle adversely affected your elbow? Repetitive motion with a tennis racket or golf club can turn an afternoon of leisurely activity into a swollen explosion of pain you’ll be regretting for the rest of the week. Stem cell therapy by Daisy Institute will help you regain mobility and diminish pain. 

Wrists

If you are having issues with wrist pain, Dr. Haasis is here to give you a hand! Both athletes and office workers know the agony of unrelenting wrist pain all too well. Our keyboard-and-screen infused world puts tremendous strain on the tendons and ligaments. Stem cell therapy is a cutting edge treatment to help alleviate aches and pains in the wrist.

Hip

We’re hip to all the latest advancements in stem cell treatments and orthopedic mobility, so we understand that hip injury can seriously limit one’s ability to thrive. But hip replacement can be a risky proposition if you are not prepared for the time and resources such an involved operation demands. Dr. Haasis will skillfully inject your own healing stem cells into specific points on the hip for maximum effect.

Spine

The spine is the “backbone” of your entire anatomy. If something goes wrong with your primary pillar of support, then you’re in trouble! Back pain is agonizing. Stem cell therapy can help. It is a non-surgical technique that reduces pain and reinvigorates the healing process. Soluble factors within the stem cell serum include cytokines that control joint inflammation and growth factors that stimulate cartilage repair.^[2]

Knee

Stem cell therapy can treat osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease that can limit the range of motion in your knees. Osteoarthritis most often occurs in people who are over 50. In younger people, osteoarthritis can result from an injury or trauma such as a fractured or dislocated joint. 

Ankle

Osteoarthritis can also occur in the ankle, especially in individuals who are overweight. If you feel pain or stiffness while you are walking, squatting, kneeling or climbing stairs, then you may be developing osteoarthritis in your ankle. Consider a stem cell consultation at Daisy Institute. 

Procedure

Stem cell therapy is a minimally invasive alternative to more involved orthopedic operations. Frankly, not everyone is ready to commit to surgery. Stem cell therapy is an outpatient procedure that will have you in and out of our offices in a single afternoon!

Upon extraction, your own stem cells will be purified and prepared. Then, the healing stem cell serum is expertly injected into the appropriate point of the joint under fluoroscopic guidance with local anesthesia. In the days and weeks that follow, your stem cells will produce soluble factors that change the tissue’s microenvironment. Cytokines in the serum will regulate joint inflammation and stimulate cartilage repair.

Recovery & Results

Recovery from the minimally invasive procedure is relatively easy, especially when compared to the ordeal of orthopedic surgery! You can expect some mild swelling and discomfort, but this will dissipate quickly. Any initial soreness can be alleviated with an ice pack. One of Dr. Haasis’ many specialties is in pain management. He will gladly prescribe pain medication to ease the early days of your recovery, if necessary.

In one week or less, you should be cleared to resume your regular routine. Avoid strenuous activity for one month. Your results will continue to improve over six months as the stem cells reach their heightened regenerative potential.

Mild swelling and discomfort of the donor sites is normal, but dissipates very quickly. Over-the-counter pain relief will work as well. Normal activities may be resumed within one week, but do not push your body.

The success rate of orthopedic stem cell therapy is quite high. Studies show that 71% of adults who have undergone treatment experience a reduction in pain, 64% had an improvement in mobility and a whopping 81% avoided surgery!^[3]
