Understanding Stem Cells
- Stem cells are smart cells that interpret their environment and help repair tissue where needed.
- They come mainly from bone marrow, fat (adipose), or donated sources like umbilical cords, each with different qualities.
Osteoarthritis Is Inflammatory
- Osteoarthritis is an inflammatory disease affecting all joint structures, not just the cartilage.
- Treating every damaged tissue in a joint is key to restoring its function, beyond traditional one-shot steroid injections.
Precision Stem Cell Injection
- Use high-definition ultrasound to locate every micro tear so stem cells can be precisely injected.
- Calculate injection volume per tissue to fill tears effectively and optimize healing.
