Stem Cell Treatment – Minnesota Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative medicine physicians at Minnesota Regenerative Medicine are among only a few in the region to offer stem cell treatments to relieve pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis (OA) and chronic tendinitis. Stem Cell therapy at Minnesota Regenerative Medicine refers to the use of an adult patients own stem cells, which are derived from the patients own adipose tissue. During the stem cell harvesting procedure, surgeons use manual liposuction to extract stem cells from the patients adipose tissue. These stem cells, also called mesenchymal stem cells, are responsible for regenerating and rebuilding the body. Once isolated and concentrated, the stem cells are then injected into the patients damaged joint or tendon or musculoskeletal tissue using real time fluoroscopy or ultrasound guidance to ensure proper placement.

A stem cell treatment represents a complex process that involves multiple steps and takes several hours to perform. Because the stem cell therapy uses the patients own cells, there is no chance of rejection. At Minnesota Regenerative Medicine, strict FDA guidelines in the use of stem cells are followed, and at no time are stem cells manipulated, expanded or grown in culture. Not all prospective patients are suitable candidates for stem cell injection therapy. See the list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) to determine what makes someone a suitable candidate.

Stem cell therapy is currently being used in orthopedic conditions such as:
