Stem cell therapies are increasingly being used to treat joint and musculoskeletal pain, offering patients advanced options for healing and recovery. At California Sports & Spine Institute, Dr. Maxim Moradian provides amniotic and bone marrow stem cell injections to help reduce pain, promote tissue regeneration, and improve joint function for patients with chronic conditions or injuries.

What Are Stem Cell Injections?

Stem cell injections use regenerative cells to support the body’s natural healing processes. Two common types include:

Amniotic Stem Cell Injections: Derived from donated amniotic tissue, these injections contain growth factors, cytokines, and stem cells that promote healing and reduce inflammation.

Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) Injections: Collected from a patient’s own bone marrow, BMAC is rich in stem cells and growth factors that aid in repairing damaged tissues and restoring joint function.

Both options are minimally invasive and can be used to treat conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, ligament damage, and other musculoskeletal issues.

Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy

Patients may experience several advantages from stem cell injections, including:

Pain Reduction: Targeted therapy reduces inflammation and discomfort in affected joints or tissues.

Improved Mobility: Stem cells support tissue repair, helping patients regain strength and flexibility.

Minimally Invasive Alternative: Avoid or delay the need for surgical interventions.

Enhanced Healing: Promotes natural tissue regeneration rather than just masking symptoms.

What to Expect During Treatment

Stem cell procedures are typically performed in-office under local anesthesia. After careful evaluation, Dr. Moradian injects the stem cells directly into the affected area using imaging guidance to ensure accuracy. Recovery time varies depending on the joint or tissue treated, but most patients can return to light activities shortly after the procedure, with full benefits developing over several weeks.

Are Stem Cell Injections Right for You?

While stem cell therapy is a promising option, not every patient is an ideal candidate. Dr. Moradian evaluates each patient individually, considering the severity of the condition, overall health, and treatment goals to determine the most effective plan.
