Frequently Asked Questions
Stem cell therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that uses the body's own healing mechanisms to treat various conditions. It involves harvesting stem cells from the patient's body, concentrating them, and then injecting them into the injured or diseased area to promote healing and repair.
Dr. Weber uses adult stem cells, specifically mesenchymal stem cells, which are typically harvested from the patient's own bone marrow. These cells have the ability to differentiate into various cell types that make up the musculoskeletal system, such as tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.
Stem cell therapy is used to treat a variety of degenerative conditions and soft tissue injuries affecting the shoulder, knee, hip, and spine. It can be an effective treatment for joint pain, arthritis, and injuries to muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
You may be a good candidate for stem cell therapy if you are suffering from joint pain and want to explore non-surgical treatment options to improve your quality of life. Dr. Weber will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if stem cell therapy is the right treatment for you.
The procedure is minimally invasive, and most patients can return to work the next day. However, it is important to avoid load-bearing activities for at least two weeks to allow the stem cells to work effectively. You will also be advised to avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as they can interfere with the healing process.
Stem cell therapy is generally considered safe, with minimal risks. However, as with any medical procedure, there is a small risk of infection or an immune reaction. Dr. Weber takes every precaution to minimize these risks and ensure the safety of his patients.
