How Successful is Stem Cell Therapy for Knees?

The success of stem cell therapy varies from person to person. Your response to treatment will depend on factors such as your medical history, the nature of your knee problems, and any existing diagnoses. If you’re a suitable candidate for stem cell therapy, the benefits may include:

  • Stimulating the body’s natural healing response
  • Stopping further deterioration
  • Reducing inflammation
  • Potentially helping to rebuild cartilage

Stem cell therapy may be recommended for both chronic and acute knee conditions, including:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • MCL, ACL, and meniscus tears
  • Joint and cartilage degeneration
  • Overuse injuries
  • General knee pain

Many patients experience significant pain relief and tissue repair, and in some cases, stem cell therapy has even helped individuals avoid knee replacement surgery. Keep in mind that it can take time for the stem cells to work—typically, you might not notice any significant changes for at least two weeks, and the results may continue to improve over the course of up to a year.

Before starting treatment, imaging of your knee will be conducted to make an accurate diagnosis. The knee will also be examined physically to help guide the treatment plan.

How Do Stem Cells Work for Knee Pain?

Stem cells are natural repair agents in your body, playing a key role in healing damaged tissues. Stem cell therapy essentially amplifies this natural healing process, encouraging your body’s cells to accelerate tissue repair.

The process begins by harvesting stem cells from areas like fat or bone marrow. The tissue is then processed in a centrifuge to concentrate and isolate the stem cells. After that, concentrated stem cells are precisely injected into the targeted area of your knee.

These injections stimulate a healing response, targeting the pain and symptoms you’re experiencing. Within a few weeks, you should notice significant improvements in pain, symptoms, and knee mobility. Since each person’s body responds differently, expect to start seeing results anywhere from 2 to 12 weeks after treatment.

Although the results can last for a year or longer, they are not permanent. To maintain pain relief and mobility, most patients require re-injections at regular intervals. Whether you’re an athlete like a skier, golfer, or marathon runner, or someone seeking relief from general knee pain, stem cell therapy may offer long-term benefits.
