Stem cell therapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to support the body's natural healing. Delivered directly to the injury, the cells may help improve joint function and mobility while reducing pain and inflammation.
Conditions Commonly Relieved by Stem Cell Therapy
Osteoarthritis
Gradual cartilage wear that can make a joint painful or stiff.
Cartilage Damage
Injury to the smooth surface that helps a joint move freely.
Tendon Injuries
Including injuries involving the Achilles, patellar tendon or rotator cuff.
Sprains and Strains
Soft-tissue injuries around a joint or muscle that remain slow to settle.
Sports Injuries
Overuse or impact injuries related to training and competition.
Persistent Joint Symptoms
Ongoing pain, stiffness or swelling that limits movement.

“In our experience, the majority of our stem cell patients report significant improvement in joint pain within the first month.”
What the Visit Involves
Every step is carried out by Dr. Abbasi, in a single office appointment of about thirty minutes.
Ask About a Consultation- 01
Evaluation and Recommendation
Dr. Abbasi examines the joint, reviews your imaging and recommends a plan, including which cell source suits your case.
- 02
Cell Source
Your own cells (autologous): uses cells from your own body, so the risk of an immune reaction is minimal. Best suited when the quality and quantity of your own cells allow.
Donated cord tissue (allogeneic): supplied ready for use, with no collection step.
- 03
Targeted Injection
Using precise, targeted placement, Dr. Abbasi injects the cells at the site of the injury, in the office.
- 04
Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients drive home afterwards. Some soreness at the injection and collection sites for a few days is expected.
Understanding Stem Cells
Stem cells used in orthopedic care come from the mesoderm, the tissue layer that forms bone, tendon, ligament, cartilage and muscle. Unlike embryonic cells, they can only develop into these musculoskeletal cell types. They are valued for their potential to help calm inflammation and support the body's natural tissue repair.
Ask About a ConsultationFrom your bodyAutologous
- Your own cells are used
- A small sample collected from you (often from your bone marrow)
- The sample is concentrated in the office
- The collection area is numbed with local anesthetic
From a donorAllogeneic
- Donor derived
- Prepared in advance, with no collection step for you
- Stored frozen until it is used
- Supplied ready for use

“The quality of the cells and the precision of their placement are two important parts of stem cell treatment.”
Why an Orthopedic Surgeon?
Ask About a ConsultationStem cell therapy here begins with a full orthopedic evaluation, not a standalone injection.
- A complete orthopedic diagnosis before any treatment is recommended.
- Your MRI and imaging reviewed by a double board certified orthopedic surgeon.
- Precise, targeted placement in the joint or tendon being treated.
- Surgical options from the same physician when a regenerative treatment isn't the right fit.
Common Questions
How long does the visit take?
The procedure is typically completed in a single office visit of approximately thirty minutes. Your consultation and treatment plan determine the exact timing.
Does the procedure hurt?
It is a band-aid procedure. If your own cells are collected, the collection area is numbed with local anesthetic, and the injection itself is brief. Afterward, you walk out of the office.
Can I drive home afterward?
Most patients can. If your specific procedure calls for another arrangement, the office will tell you in advance.
How soon might I notice a change?
Response varies from person to person. Improvement is often assessed during the first month and may continue to develop afterward. No outcome can be guaranteed.
How is stem cell therapy different from PRP?
PRP is prepared from your blood and uses platelets that release growth factors; it does not contain stem cells. Stem cell therapy uses cells from bone marrow or donated cord tissue. Your examination helps determine which option, if either, is appropriate.
Is this an alternative to surgery?
Sometimes. For some patients, an injection is reasonable to consider before surgery; for others, surgery remains the better option. The consultation is designed to weigh the full range of orthopedic care.
