Knee pain is one of the most common conditions treated with stem cell therapy. Patients with chronic knee degeneration have also shown incredible results after undergoing stem cell therapy. Stem cells relieve knee pain in multiple ways. Initially, there is a certain amount of fluid injected into the joint which gives the knee extra cushion allowing the stem cells to move more freely.
Typically, the knees have chronically degenerated so it’s difficult for the stem cells to travel to the injured area. By injecting a boost of fluid it can expand the joint for stem cells to start diagnosing the injured area. Stem cells then release growth factor which triggers new blood cells to regenerate the knee. The new blood cells circulate across the knee creating new collagen, new muscle, new bone, and new cartilage. The stem cells then additionally start transforming themselves into the cells necessary for the knee.
