Stem Cell for Knee Joint

   1.    What is knee stem cell therapy?
Knee stem cell therapy is a treatment in which stem cells are injected into the knee joint to promote healing of damaged or worn tissues.
    2.    How is knee stem cell therapy performed?
Stem cells, usually obtained from bone marrow or fat tissue, are injected into the knee joint.
    3.    What conditions is knee stem cell therapy used for?
It is used for conditions like osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, cartilage damage, and joint wear.
    4.    Does stem cell therapy heal the knee?
Stem cells promote tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation, which can support the knee and reduce pain, though a full cure is not guaranteed.
    5.    Is knee stem cell therapy painful?
The procedure is generally painless due to local anesthesia, though mild discomfort may occur post-injection.
    6.    How long does knee stem cell therapy take?
The procedure usually takes 1-2 hours, but full recovery can take several weeks.
    7.    What is the recovery process after knee stem cell therapy?
Initial recovery takes a few days, with full healing generally occurring within 4-6 weeks.
    8.    What are the side effects of knee stem cell therapy?
Mild swelling, redness, and discomfort at the injection site may occur, but these effects are typically temporary.
    9.    Is stem cell therapy suitable for everyone?
Yes, though it may not be suitable for individuals with certain chronic conditions or active infections.
    10.    Is knee stem cell therapy permanent?
The effects can last long-term, but permanence varies depending on the individual and knee condition.
    11.    Can I exercise after stem cell therapy?
Yes, but avoid strenuous activities for the first few weeks and follow your doctor’s recommendations.
    12.    Is knee stem cell therapy a repeatable treatment?
In some cases, one treatment may suffice, but follow-up treatments may be necessary over time.
    13.    What is the difference between stem cell therapy and PRP?
PRP uses blood plasma to promote healing, while stem cell therapy directly applies regenerative cells to the damaged tissue.
    14.    Does pain decrease after stem cell therapy?
Yes, stem cell therapy can reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
    15.    What is the cost of knee stem cell therapy?
Costs vary based on the condition treated, type of stem cells used, and treatment facility.
