A careful conversation about cellular procedures starts with an accurate diagnosis, realistic expectations, and transparent discussion of the evidence.
“Stem cell therapy” is often used broadly in marketing. The practice’s current website describes bone-marrow-derived cellular procedures. Different sources, preparation methods, and products are not interchangeable. Ask exactly what is proposed, where it comes from, and how it is regulated.
The FDA warns about unapproved regenerative medicine products and states that these therapies have not been approved for orthopedic conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis, or back, knee, and shoulder pain. This website does not claim FDA approval for an orthopedic stem cell treatment.
What evidence supports the proposed procedure for my diagnosis? What are its regulatory status, alternatives, and risks? Is it part of an FDA-overseen clinical trial? What costs and follow-up would be involved? A consultation is not a commitment to a procedure.
There is no assurance of cartilage regrowth, tissue restoration, avoiding surgery, or lasting pain relief. Collection and injection procedures can carry risks including pain, bleeding, and infection. Additional risks depend on the exact product and procedure and should be discussed with the physician.
