Relieve chronic joint pain and restore mobility with stem cell therapy at Atlas Medical Center in Fort Worth. This advanced regenerative treatment targets conditions like osteoarthritis pain, ligament injuries, and cartilage damage, helping your body heal naturally without surgery.
Stimulate natural healing and repair damaged tissue
Stem cell therapy for joints is a cutting-edge regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own healing cells to repair damaged tissues. At Atlas Medical Center, we extract autologous stem cells—from your bone marrow—and inject them directly into the affected joint. These pluripotent cells stimulate tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, and relieve long-term pain. Unlike invasive surgeries or long-term medications, stem cell therapy offers a natural alternative for treating osteoarthritis pain, ligament tears, cartilage damage, and chronic joint pain.
Conditions treated with stem cell therapy:
- Cartilage damage causing joint stiffness and reduced mobility
- Osteoarthritis pain in the knees, hips, shoulders, and other joints
- Ligament injuries from sports or repetitive strain
- Tendon injuries that have not healed with rest or physical therapy
How stem cell therapy for joints works
Stem cell therapy for joints harnesses the regenerative potential of autologous (self-derived) stem cells, harvested from bone marrow. These pluripotent cells have the unique ability to differentiate into other tissue types, including cartilage, bone, and ligament. Once extracted and injected into the damaged joint, they release growth factors and cytokines that reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and stimulate the body’s healing response. This biological repair process helps restore joint function and alleviate chronic pain without surgery.
Benefits of stem cell therapy for joints:
- Natural healing supported by your own stem cells
- Significant reduction in joint pain and inflammation
- Improved mobility and joint stability over time
- Targeted treatment focused on repairing damaged tissue
- Long-lasting results through regenerative cell activity
- Minimal risk and no need for invasive surgery
- Low risk of rejection or complications
What happens during stem cell therapy for joints?
During your stem cell therapy procedure, your provider will begin by collecting a small amount of bone marrow, from your iliac crest, or pelvic bone, while the area is numbed with local anesthesia. These cells are then carefully injected into your injured or arthritic joint using image-guided precision. The entire procedure is minimally invasive and typically completed in under an hour. You can return home the same day and even drive yourself to and from your appointment.
The recovery process after stem cell therapy for joints
Most patients return to normal daily activities within a few days, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for a short period. You may experience mild soreness at the extraction and/or injection site, which resolves quickly. Over the following months, your body begins healing as the stem cells stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. Your provider will guide you with personalized aftercare instructions to support optimal recovery.
When can I expect the results?
Most patients notice improvements within four to six weeks after their session, with continued healing over several months. In many cases, one treatment is enough, though some patients with advanced conditions may benefit from a second session. Results can vary depending on your specific condition and overall health, but the benefits may last for several years—especially if you avoid re-injury to the treated area(s). Your provider will assess your progress and help you determine the best plan for long-term joint relief and mobility.
