Stem Cell Therapy

Cell-based regeneration for the right candidate — using your body’s own regenerative cells, concentrated and guided into damaged joints, cartilage and tendons.

What stem cell therapy is — and why it works.

Your body holds reserves of regenerative cells that orchestrate repair. Cell-based orthobiologic therapy concentrates these cells — most commonly drawn from your own bone marrow — and delivers them under imaging guidance to a joint or tendon that has lost the ability to heal on its own.

At RegenCore, “stem cell therapy” means autologous, point-of-care biologics prepared from your own tissue in the same visit. We do not use unproven or mislabeled products. For more advanced cartilage and joint cases, this approach can recruit a stronger repair response than platelets alone — when the diagnosis and candidacy are right.

Autologous · point-of-care

Your own cells, concentrated and precisely placed.

The science is only as good as the diagnosis behind it — we recommend cell therapy when it’s genuinely the right tool, and say so when it isn’t.

Our approach draws on naturally-derived cells and growth factors from bone marrow, adipose (fat) tissue or allograft — and is based on the latest published research, refined over thousands of successful regenerative therapy treatments. Every preparation is processed in-house from your own tissue and delivered under real-time ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance.

How it works

What to expect

From candidacy review to recovery, here’s the path.

  1. 01

    Step 1

    Evaluation & candidacy

    We use exam, history and diagnostic ultrasound to confirm cell therapy is the right approach — not a default.

  2. 02

    Step 2

    Cell harvest

    Cells are drawn from your own bone marrow with local anesthetic, then concentrated in-house during the same visit.

  3. 03

    Step 3

    Guided delivery

    The concentrate is placed precisely into the target tissue under ultrasound or fluoroscopy.

  4. 04

    Step 4

    Guided recovery

    A structured rehab plan and follow-up support the repair over the months that follow.

Conditions cell therapy can help

Who stem cell therapy is for.

  • Moderate knee, hip & shoulder osteoarthritis
  • Cartilage injury in the right candidate
  • Chronic, recalcitrant tendon injuries
  • Cases that haven’t responded to PRP alone
  • Patients seeking a surgery-sparing option
  • Active adults wanting to preserve their own joints

Cell therapy isn’t right for everyone — a short evaluation gives you an honest answer.

Stem cell therapy, answered

What kind of stem cells do you use?

We use autologous, point-of-care biologics — cells concentrated from your own bone marrow during your visit. We do not use birth-tissue or “off-the-shelf” products that lack evidence and regulatory clarity.

Is it a guaranteed alternative to surgery?

No honest clinic can guarantee outcomes. For many moderate joint and tendon conditions it can meaningfully reduce pain and improve function. For end-stage, bone-on-bone arthritis it may not — and we’ll tell you.

How long does recovery take?

Most patients resume desk work within a day or two and progress through a graded return to activity. Biological repair builds over three to six months.

Is it covered by insurance?

Orthobiologic procedures are generally not covered. We provide transparent pricing and documentation for any reimbursement you may pursue.
