What is stem cell therapy?

Stem cell therapy at PRO Institute uses stem cells sourced from adipose (fat) tissue and bone marrow. Concentrated sources of these cells promote new cell generation and natural healing.

The practice uses the highest-quality test kits and ultrasound guidance during needle insertion to achieve optimal accuracy and precision. The team uses stem cells from your own body rather than someone else’s cells.

Which injuries can stem cell therapy address?

Common uses for stem cells include:

Meniscus tears
Rotator cuff tears
Shoulder osteoarthritis
Hip osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis
Hip bursitis
Tennis elbow

The PRO Institute administers multiple shots in each treatment area to ensure effective healing and exceptional patient outcomes.

Am I a candidate for stem cell therapy?

The PRO Institute team discusses your symptoms, medical history, diagnosis, goals, and treatment preferences to determine if you're a candidate for stem cell therapy. They may suggest lab testing, imaging procedures, or other diagnostic tests to pinpoint the cause of any discomfort and customize an effective treatment plan.

How should I prepare for stem cell therapy?

To prepare for stem cell therapy, avoid taking aspirin or NSAIDs like naproxen and ibuprofen for at least four days. Don’t receive corticosteroid injections for at least four weeks before your scheduled appointment. It’s also crucial to properly hydrate and make arrangements for a family member or friend to drive you home after the procedure.

What should I expect during stem cell therapy?

During stem cell therapy, your provider sources bone marrow from one of your pelvic bones or extracts fat cells from adipose tissue. This process is safe and comfortable. Your specialist uses a centrifuge to obtain a concentrated source of stem cells and platelets. They use ultrasound guidance to inject the collected cells into damaged tissues.

During the next few days, weeks, and months, the stem cells optimize healing and new cell generation. You begin to experience less pain and improved musculoskeletal functioning. The PRO Institute team determines if or when to schedule your next treatment session to ensure superior results.
