Stem Cell Therapy Q&A

What is stem cell therapy?

Stem cell therapy is an advanced medical treatment that uses unique repair cells to promote healing and reduce pain in damaged tissues, joints, and bones. Stem cells are unique because they can develop into many different types of cells, including:

Muscles
Nerves
Cartilage
Tendons
Bone
Blood vessels

This versatility makes them ideal for treating conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, ligament tears, and degenerative joint disease. They can accelerate healing when Dr. Mohan isolates and injects them into diseased tissue or damaged areas.

How does stem cell therapy work?

Stem cells are typically collected from your own body, most commonly from bone marrow or adipose (fat) tissue.

Once harvested, Dr. Mohan concentrates these cells and injects them directly into the area causing you pain. The injected stem cells release growth factors and other healing molecules that stimulate your body’s natural repair process.

Stem cells reduce inflammation, encourage new tissue growth, and improve your joints’ overall function. They can’t “regrow” entire joints, but they can help your body repair damaged cartilage and soft tissues, potentially delaying or preventing the need for surgery.

Who can benefit from stem cell therapy?

Stem cell therapy may be a good option if you struggle with chronic joint pain, mild to moderate osteoarthritis, or soft tissue injuries that haven’t improved with physical therapy, medications, or corticosteroid injections.

Dr. Mohan may recommend treatment if you have:

Knee pain
Shoulder pain, including rotator cuff tears
Hip issues
Back pain

It’s best if you’re generally in good health and looking for alternatives to joint replacement or invasive surgery.

What happens at a stem cell therapy appointment?

You’ll start with a consultation and diagnostic evaluation, and Dr. Mohan may use X-rays or MRI scans to pinpoint the problem area.

During the procedure, you’ll have anesthesia to keep you comfortable while Dr. Mohan takes a small sample of bone marrow or fat. He isolates and concentrates the stem cells and then injects them into the targeted site using ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance for accuracy.

The entire process takes only a few hours, and you can go home the same day. Post-treatment, expect healing and improvement to occur gradually over several weeks to months as your body regenerates tissue and reduces inflammation.
