How Successful is Stem Cell Therapy for Knees?

The success of stem cell therapy for knee pain varies by individual, depending on factors such as medical history, current diagnoses, and the specific knee condition being treated. For the right candidates, stem cell therapy offers several potential benefits:

  • Stimulates the body’s natural healing response
  • Slows or halts further joint deterioration
  • Reduces inflammation
  • In some cases, promotes regeneration of cartilage

This treatment 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

Some patients experience significant pain relief and tissue repair, and in certain cases, stem cell therapy has helped individuals avoid knee replacement surgery. Noticeable improvements may begin within 2 to 12 weeks, with results continuing to improve gradually over the following year.

Evaluation Before Treatment

Accurate imaging and a physical examination are essential to confirm a diagnosis and determine whether stem cell therapy is appropriate. Only after this assessment can a personalized treatment plan be made.

How Does Stem Cell Therapy Work?

Stem cells are naturally occurring repair cells in the body. Stem cell therapy for knee pain works by enhancing the body’s ability to heal damaged tissue. The process includes:

  1. Harvesting stem cells from fat or bone marrow
  2. Concentrating the cells using a centrifuge
  3. Injecting the cells directly into the affected area of the knee

These injections trigger a targeted healing response. Results can take time, typically appearing between 2 to 12 weeks after treatment, and continue to improve over time. While not permanent, results can last a year or more, and periodic re-injections are often recommended to maintain relief.

Who Can Benefit?

Stem cell therapy may be ideal for individuals with active lifestyles—from athletes to everyday individuals—looking to avoid surgery and restore function and comfort in the knee.
