How is a Stem Cell Treatment Performed on Knees?
A stem cell treatment for knees is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in an outpatient setting. The first step is to collect the patient’s own stem cells, which can be done by harvesting fat from the abdomen or bone marrow from the hip. The stem cells are then injected into the knee joint, where they will start to repair and regenerate damaged tissue.
Most patients report significant improvements in pain and function after just one stem cell treatment, and the results continue to improve over time. There is no risk of rejection or side effects because the patient’s own cells are used, so this is a safe and effective treatment option for those with knee pain.
