Whether it is caused by injury, overuse, age, or medical conditions like arthritis, most people will suffer from joint pain at some point in their life. If you are experiencing joint pain in your hips, shoulders, or knees, there are alternative treatment options made available by our doctors at Camelback Pain.

Stem cell therapy is a new, popular treatment option that is being used to help treat and manage many diseases and discomforts such as joint pain. Many patients begin looking for alternative treatments for their pain when traditional treatment plans just aren’t working. With stem cell therapy, our chiropractor is able to precisely target your specific joint problems. Because stem cells can reduce chronic or acute inflammation in the joints, stem cell therapy has become one of our most popular alternative treatment options.

Stem cells are the building blocks for all of the cells in the body. Their unique adaptability makes them very effective in treating many different disorders and underlying symptoms. When it comes to joint pain, the most common cause is inflammation, which is caused by extra pressure that results in your joints swelling, feeling stiff, or hurting. Because stem cells are a natural anti-inflammatory, we can target your inflammation directly. Working to treat this underlying inflammation can help you better manage your joint pain.

How does stem cell therapy work?

Luckily, stem cells are already in your body. For treatments to begin, we will either recommend using laboratory-grown stem cells or source stem cells from your own body. While stem cells are all over our bodies but in rather low quantities, the most common places to retrieve them are bone marrow and fatty tissue. A special liposuction machine is used to remove fat from our body along with the stem cells it carries. This fat is then broken down into its components to isolate the stem cells. These stem cells are then formed into white blood cells. Once the process is complete, the stem cell serum will be injected back into targeted areas of your body to help treat your joint pain. Using stem cells therapy can help reduce inflammation and reactivate the healing process in your hips, knees, shoulders, and other joints.

Under the supervision of our medical staff, the stem cell therapy is performed through a series of injections or by using an intravenous delivery method. By injecting the stem cells through IV or a series of shots, your body receives the stem cells in a much higher concentration than what is naturally produced. During this portion of stem cell therapy, you won’t feel a thing as we will use a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable and pain-free.
