Frequently Asked Questions What Stem Cell Therapies are available?

Local Stem Cell Injections are used in orthopedics to target specific sites that are inflamed (i.e. arthritic joints or damaged ligaments). Applications currently include:

Knee Stem Cell Injection- Alternative treatment for ACL, MCL, Meniscus, and Cartilage Damage. The MetroMD approach to degenerative joint disease may help knee injuries without the use of traditional surgery.

Great question, and two big reasons stand out:

1. We perform autologous stem cell treatments, meaning that the donor and recipient are the same. In other words, we extract stem cells from your body and inject or infuse them back to you directly on the same day. We dont give you stem cells from other people so we eliminate the risk of rejection and other complications.

2. Some providers try to extract stem cells from adipose (fatty) tissue via liposuction. We extract stem cells from the bone marrow located inside your hips iliac crest. Bone marrow aspirate contains a richer source of bioactive stem cells and essential growth factors. We then concentrate the regenerative cells and supporting factors in their natural plasma to retail cellular viability and proliferative potential. Optimal healing and patient outcomes are achieved when concentrated stem cells are extracted and administered in this manner.

Stem cell treatments have been tested and used extensively outside the US for several years already with extraordinary results. We only use proven medical procedures that give you the most benefit and safety. Of course, there are risks with any medical procedure and you should consult with your doctor to understand those risks before proceeding.

Autologous Stem Cell Treatments vary in price between $5,000 and $17,000 USD depending on the specific application. Insurance typically does not cover these treatments.

Special packages that combine Stem Cell, Human Growth Hormone and/or CO2 Laser Treatments are available.
