Stem Cell Therapy

What is stem cell therapy?

At PRO Institute, stem cell therapy uses stem cells sourced from your adipose (fat) tissue and bone marrow. These concentrated cells promote new cell generation and support your body’s natural healing.

Our PRO Institute team use the highest-quality test kits and ultrasound guidance during needle insertion to ensure optimal accuracy and precision. Our team uses stem cells from your own body rather than someone else’s.

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

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?

At PRO Institute we discuss your symptoms, medical history, diagnosis, goals, and treatment preferences to determine if you're a candidate for stem cell therapy. Our PRO Institute team 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.

Pre and Post Care Instructions for Stem Cell Therapy

What should I expect during stem cell therapy?

During stem cell therapy, our PRO Institute experts source bone marrow from one of your pelvic bones or extracts fat cells from adipose tissue. This process is safe and comfortable. We use a centrifuge to obtain a concentrated source of stem cells and platelets. In addition, we 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. Based on your progress, we determine if or when to schedule your next treatment session to ensure superior results.
