Overview

Stem cell therapy is an innovative treatment method that uses the body’s own healing mechanisms to repair and regenerate damaged tissues. In orthopedics, stem cells can be used to treat various conditions such as cartilage damage, osteoarthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, and bone fractures. Stem cells are injected into the damaged area to stimulate the formation of new and healthy tissue, reduce pain, and improve joint function.
