Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy is a regenerative treatment approach that supports the body’s natural healing process by introducing specialized cells into areas experiencing pain, degeneration, or soft tissue injury. For patients dealing with chronic joint or spine-related pain who want to avoid or delay surgery, this treatment offers a minimally invasive alternative focused on long-term recovery and improved function.
At Pain & Spine Physicians, our team offers advanced regenerative treatments designed to address pain at its source. Call us at (972) 350-0225 or contact us online to find out whether stem cell therapy is appropriate for your condition.
How Stem Cell Therapy Works
Stem cell therapy uses specialized cells that may support tissue repair and reduce inflammation in damaged joints, tendons, or spinal structures. Once introduced into the affected area using image-guided injection, these cells work with the body’s existing healing mechanisms to improve function over time.
Treatment is performed in an outpatient setting with imaging guidance to ensure accurate, targeted delivery. No surgery or general anesthesia is required, and most patients return home the same day.
Conditions Stem Cell Therapy May Address
Stem cell therapy is commonly considered when pain stems from degeneration or soft tissue injury that has not responded sufficiently to conservative care. Areas frequently treated include:
Patients typically present with stiffness, swelling, or pain that worsens with movement and limits daily activity. In some cases, discomfort radiates into surrounding areas depending on the affected region.
When Stem Cell Therapy May Be Recommended
Stem cell therapy is generally considered when conservative treatment has not provided adequate relief, and the patient wants to avoid or postpone more invasive intervention. It may also be appropriate for individuals with chronic joint or spine pain that continues to affect mobility and daily function. Treatment decisions are based on individual evaluation and imaging findings.
Why Patients Choose Pain & Spine Physicians
All physicians at Pain & Spine Physicians are board-certified in pain medicine, a credential that reflects fellowship-level training beyond standard residency. The practice is built around regenerative and interventional options that give patients a meaningful alternative to surgery, with shorter recovery timelines and less disruption to daily life. Our multiple locations throughout DFW and North Texas, each equipped for advanced in-office procedures, mean patients receive that level of care close to home within a single, integrated clinical system.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does Stem Cell Therapy Take To Work?
Results vary by patient and condition. Improvements typically develop gradually over several weeks to months as the body responds to treatment. Some patients notice early changes in comfort and mobility, while others experience more significant improvement over a longer period.
Is the Procedure Painful?
Most patients experience mild discomfort during the injection process, which is generally well tolerated. Imaging guidance allows for precise placement, minimizing the number of needle adjustments needed during the procedure.
Can Stem Cell Therapy Be Repeated?
Yes, additional treatments may be considered depending on your response and your provider’s clinical evaluation. Some patients benefit from a series of treatments, while others achieve their goals with a single session.
How Does Stem Cell Therapy Differ From a Cortisone Injection?
Cortisone injections reduce inflammation temporarily by delivering a steroid into the affected area. Stem cell therapy takes a different approach, introducing cells intended to support tissue repair and longer-term functional improvement rather than short-term symptom relief alone.
