A surgeon told you joint replacement is the next step. The recovery timeline feels overwhelming and you want to explore every option before committing to an operating room. Stem cell therapy offers a non-surgical path that works with your body's own biology to support tissue regeneration and joint repair.
Stem cell therapy has attracted clinics that prioritize marketing over safety. We take a different approach. Every product is vetted, every patient is screened for candidacy before treatment is recommended. Our medical clinic uses the same diligence across every protocol we offer.
Every stem cell product is vetted for origin, processing standards, and viability before it enters our clinic. Patients deserve to know exactly what is being administered, and why.
Not every patient is a candidate. We review imaging, history, and exam findings before recommending therapy. If you are not a strong candidate, we tell you directly.
We schedule assessments at specific post-procedure intervals. Functional benchmarks and imaging guide our decisions, often paired with regenerative medicine protocols when your case requires combined therapy.
A biological repair approach that uses stem cells to support joint and tissue regeneration without surgery. Guided by rigorous sourcing, candidacy screening, and functional outcome tracking, not by marketing.
Stem cells are your body's repair specialists. They have the unique ability to develop into different cell types, which means they can support the regeneration of cartilage, tendon, ligament, and other connective tissues. When delivered to a damaged joint, stem cells can promote healing at the cellular level rather than simply masking the pain signal.
The difference between stem cell therapy and conventional joint treatment is intent. Cortisone injections suppress inflammation. Pain medication blocks nerve signals. Joint replacement removes the damaged joint entirely. Stem cell therapy works between these extremes by supporting the body's biological capacity to repair tissue. It is not a miracle cure. It is a clinical tool with specific applications and limitations.
At Prince Health, safety and transparency come first. The stem cell market includes clinics that make exaggerated claims without rigorous screening. We take the opposite approach. Every product is vetted for sourcing, processing standards, and viability. Every patient undergoes a thorough evaluation to confirm candidacy. We discuss realistic outcomes and timelines before any procedure. No pressure, no inflated promises.
Most patients notice initial improvement within 4 to 8 weeks. Full benefits may continue developing for 3 to 6 months as the biological repair process progresses. We track your response at defined intervals using functional benchmarks, range of motion measurements, and imaging when appropriate. This data-driven approach ensures that your treatment plan adapts to your actual progress.
Three paths exist for degenerative joint damage. Only one supports tissue repair without an operating room.
Joint degeneration, cartilage damage, tendon injuries, and chronic musculoskeletal pain where biological repair can produce meaningful improvement.
Root-cause evaluation and treatment for low back pain through chiropractic correction, decompression, and regenerative therapies that address the source of pain.
Non-surgical evaluation and treatment for knee pain through regenerative medicine, stem cell therapy, and functional rehabilitation.
Cortisone quiets pain. Surgery removes hardware. Stem cell therapy does something different. Here is why that distinction matters.
01 / SurgerySurgery is sometimes necessary. But many patients are told they need joint replacement when their condition may still respond to biological repair. Stem cell therapy can slow or halt degeneration and give your body a chance to rebuild tissue without anesthesia, hospital admission, or months of physical therapy. For patients who do eventually need surgery, this approach can buy valuable time.
02 / CostMost insurance plans do not cover stem cell therapy. We discuss every cost during your consultation so you can make an informed decision. Many patients find that one stem cell treatment costs less than years of repeated cortisone injections, ongoing specialist visits, and the eventual surgical copay those approaches often lead to. We lay out the numbers clearly.
03 / SourcingThe stem cell industry includes providers who cut corners on sourcing and screening. At Prince Health, every product is verified for origin, processing standards, and cell viability. Every patient undergoes candidacy evaluation before treatment. We would rather turn away a patient who is not a strong candidate than administer a procedure that will not produce results.
Four steps from first visit to measurable progress. The same protocol every patient gets, regardless of how busy the clinic is.
We review your diagnosis, examine the affected joints, and assess existing imaging. This evaluation identifies the type and severity of tissue damage and determines whether stem cell therapy is a reasonable option for your specific condition.
We assess your overall health, healing capacity, and prior treatment response. We discuss realistic outcomes, potential risks, and expected timelines. If stem cell therapy is not likely to benefit your condition, we recommend an alternative path without pressure.
Stem cells are delivered precisely to the targeted joint or tissue under image guidance. The procedure is performed in-office. No general anesthesia is required. Most patients leave the clinic the same day with minimal restrictions on activity.
We schedule assessments at specific post-procedure intervals to measure functional improvement, range of motion, and pain reduction. Imaging is repeated when appropriate. Your data determines next steps, not guesswork.

Costs vary based on the type of therapy, area being treated, and number of sessions. Most insurance plans do not cover stem cell therapy. We provide transparent pricing during your consultation so you can make an informed decision without surprises.
Safety depends entirely on sourcing, screening, and clinical oversight. At Prince Health, every product is rigorously vetted and every patient is evaluated for candidacy before treatment. We do not cut corners on safety protocols.
Stem cell therapy is most commonly used for joint degeneration, cartilage damage, tendon injuries, and chronic pain in the knees, shoulders, and lower back. We evaluate each case individually to determine whether you are a good candidate.
Most patients begin noticing improvement within 4 to 8 weeks as the biological repair process takes hold. Full benefits may continue developing for 3 to 6 months. We track your progress with functional benchmarks at each follow-up.
Stem cell therapy is one type of regenerative medicine. The broader category includes PRP, growth factor injections, and other biological therapies. Stem cell therapy specifically uses stem cells to support tissue repair and regeneration.
For many patients, yes. Stem cell therapy can support tissue repair that slows or halts degeneration, potentially eliminating the need for joint replacement or surgical intervention. A thorough evaluation including imaging helps determine whether you are a surgical or non-surgical candidate.
Stem cell therapy is often part of a broader treatment strategy that includes these clinical services.
Advanced regenerative treatments that support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and restore joint function through your body's natural healing mechanisms.
