Stem Cell Therapy in Northeast PA

Stem Cell Therapy Brochure

Your body has the natural ability to heal itself with its own stem cells and their derivatives.

With the advancements in science over the past 10 years, stem cells have emerged as a key element of regenerative medicine therapies.

At Northeast Knee and Joint Institute, our proprietary Regenerative Stem Cell therapy treatment is one of the most advanced stem cell treatments for knees and joints in the world today.

What is Stem Cell Therapy For Knees, Elbows, and Other Joints?

The treatment is derived from utilizing your own thriving stem cells, then “turbo-charging” them with billions of potent growth, healing factors, and nutrients sourced from live c-section birthed, screened and tested umbilical cord tissue products that capture all the greatest regenerative properties of this otherwise discarded tissue.

Our process of stem cell treatments for knees uses a proprietary method of isolating growth factors, cells, and stem cells, giving our patients the best possible benefits from a regenerative medicine product. The growth factor products used in our clinics are produced in compliance with FDA CGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) and GTP (Good Tissue Practices) standards, which assures quality and safety in this product. We have many studies exhibiting the regeneration of tissue and cartilage over 3-6 months. The results of our treatments with patients have been extraordinary.

*We can either strictly use your own stem cells or utilize our most potent treatment of adding the additional growth factors to your own stem cells.

Important Facts About Stem Cell Treatment For Knees and Other Regenerative Medicine Options

• Our treatments use your own stem cells and growth factors. These growth factors release strong bioactive molecules that contain a mix of concentrated cells, scaffolding proteins, growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular matrix. These components help boost the body’s natural healing ability.
• Umbilical cord-derived allografts continue to excrete proteins and growth factors for about 6 months.
• Research has shown that umbilical cord-derived stem cells are not susceptible to malignant transformation in a serum-free medium, making them safe for therapeutic use in patients for cell therapy.
• From a cost-benefit perspective, an injection of amniotic fluid may seem more cost-effective without understanding the potency level and necessity for several added injections in quick succession to realize significant results.

How Does Stem Cell Treatment For Knees Differ From Treatment for Other Joints?

Stem cell therapy for knees affects the knee joints differently compared to other joints due to the unique structural and functional demands of the knee. The knee is a weight-bearing joint that often experiences significant wear and tear, making it a common target for osteoarthritis and injuries.

Stem cell therapy for knees focuses on regenerating cartilage, reducing inflammation, and alleviating pain, which is particularly beneficial for conditions like osteoarthritis. Studies have shown that subchondral stem cell injections in the knee can improve cartilage and bone marrow lesions. This offers a less invasive alternative to surgeries like total knee arthroplasty.

In contrast, stem cell therapy in other joints, such as the shoulder or hip, may focus more on repairing soft tissues like tendons or addressing different biomechanical stresses. The knee’s role as a primary load-bearing joint makes it a unique candidate for stem cell therapy, often requiring tailored approaches to address its specific degenerative and inflammatory challenge.

Benefits of Regenerative Stem Cells For Knees

• With the advancements in science over the past 10 years, stem cells for knees have emerged as a key element of regenerative medicine therapies.
• Stem cells have the ability to change into other cell types in your body and release growth factors. They can renew themselves by replication. These properties enable stem cells to repair damaged tissue such as muscle, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons.
• Stem cells for knees and other joints are immunomodulatory, which means they have the potential to control your immune system, which is needed for healing.
• Stem cells play a critical role in regenerative medicine. They release certain proteins and growth factors that can help control pain and inflammation in the body.

How Do Stem Cells For Knees and Joints Work?

Once stem cells are deployed, they head straight to the sites of injury. They release growth factors that help control the inflammatory response and heal tissue and other cells. In addition, they can increase blood flow to an area by forming new blood vessels.

The Difference Between Different Stem Cell Types is Potency

Umbilical cord stem cells are a type of cell called Mesenchymal (MCS). MSCs can migrate and target specific tissues. This property, called homing, is an event that allows cells to migrate from a remote area in the body to find a damaged organ or tissue in a specific site.

This is the mechanism by which MSCs are infused intravenously and reach the affected areas of the body to perform their regenerative functions. Umbilical cord-derived stem cells are the most potent of stem cells.

The Word is Out About Stem Cell Therapy For Knees & Joints!

• The Wall Street Journal published an article on September 9th, 2021, titled: Knee or Hip replacement without surgery? It’s on the horizon. This article summarized what we have known for years on the effectiveness of stem cell treatments for the regeneration of joints.
• Many studies have been performed recently that demonstrate the effectiveness of stem cell treatments on various joints and soft tissue injuries. We would be happy to share these with you at your consultation.
