Stem Cell Therapy

Repair Joints Using your own BMAC or MFAT Stem Cells

At Ultimate Medical Group, we only perform stem cell therapy using your own stem cells.  We currently offer two procedures:  BMAC (Bone marrow Aspirate Concentrate) derived stem cells or MFAT (micro-fragmented adipose tissue) derived stem cells.  Different areas of treatment often dictate which method is recommended. Both treatments include Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy and are priced the same.

How Do Stem Cells Work?

We all have stem cells, from birth to death. Stem cells are essentially our body’s repair system. Stem cells allow our bodies to build new tissue, such as new muscle when we exercise, or replace skin damaged by cuts and burns. Stem cells, by definition, have the ability to divide and create an identical copy of themselves, a process called self-renewal, and can also divide to form cells that If you want want to avoid surgery, and a long painful rehabilitation process, stem cell therapy might be the solution for you.make up every type of tissue and organ in the body.

Using Your Own Stem Cells Matters!

Frozen, over the counter stem cells (or donor stem cells) have inherent risks associated with any purchased product. There is no substitute for using your own stem cells to facilitate healing. We process your adult stem cells using the newest, state-of-the-art equipment and strictest standards.

The greater the number of viable stem cells, the greater the capacity for cellular restoration and tissue repair.

The Stem Cell Process Using MFAT/BMAC

In order to achieve the highest stem cell counts possible, we use multiple activation methods to isolate the highest number of stem cells. Many stem cell clinics use a single activation method, while others neglect this step altogether.

We may include PRP treatment in our stem cell procedure, to further facilitate the stem cells in “doing their job”.

Using high definition ultrasound imaging, we precisely inject the high concentration of cells into the injured area.

Key Benefits

MFAT stem cells are offering an effective solution for those suffering from conditions like osteoarthritis and joint degeneration.

01. Reduced Risk Of Rejection

The risk of your body rejecting your own stem cells is very low. 

02. Enhanced Healing & Regeneration

Stem cell therapy supports the body’s natural ability to repair and regenerate tissue.

03. Improved Outcomes

Autologous stem cell treatments may help reduce pain and improve long-term healing.

Stem Cell Treatment Benefits Explained:

Research suggests that treatments using autologous stem cells can be more effective in promoting healing and reducing pain, particularly in conditions like osteoarthritis. This can lead to better long-term outcomes for patients.  Using the patient’s own stem cells in treatment offers several significant benefits including the following:

Reduced Risk of Rejection

Personalized Treatment

Minimized Side Effects

Improved Healing & Regeneration

Since the stem cells are harvested from the patient, there is a lower risk of immune rejection compared to using donor cells. The body is less likely to recognize its own cells as foreign, leading to a more favorable acceptance.

The use of autologous stem cells (those derived from the patient) allows for a tailored approach to treatment. Each patient’s cells can respond differently based on their unique biological makeup, increasing the likelihood of a successful outcome.

Using the patient’s own cells reduces the risk of side effects associated with synthetic or donor materials. Patients are less likely to experience adverse reactions, making the treatment safer and more comfortable.

Stem cells have the unique ability to differentiate into various cell types and promote tissue repair and regeneration. By using the patient’s own stem cells, the treatment harnesses the body’s natural healing processes, potentially leading to improved recovery times and better overall results.

Activating Stem Cells Post-Treatment

A critical component of our success with stem cell procedures is following up with specialized therapy, specific to the area of injury.  Your stem cells need an optimum environment to do their job.  Your injury was likely a result of a structural imbalance, long-term repetitive use or, less frequently, an acute injury.

In order to “activate” the stem cells, our entire team has developed highly effective post-procedure protocols to facilitate the healing process.  Physical therapy is recommended following your procedure.  If your injury was a result of a structural imbalance, it’s important to correct the problem, allowing the stem cells to work as efficiently as possible.

It takes several weeks for the biologic effects of stem cell therapy to be realized. Don’t forget, this is not a drug, but your own stem cells working to repair damage. Typically improvement is noticeable at approximately 4 weeks and continues for up to six months or longer after the treatment.
When you’re talking cells, numbers really do count! Companies selling donor stem cells base their literature on random product samples prior to freezing. There is no way of knowing what the stem cell count and viability is of the product you’re getting injected, unless a count and viability evaluation is done prior to your procedure. Doing our own testing for stem cell count and viability on donor cell injections, we have documented that they have a very low stem cell count (averaging in the thousands), and an even lower viability rate, (meaning most of those cells have already died). This drastically reduces any chance of a successful outcome. Using your own adult stem cells, (regardless of age) our count is in the millions with an average 95% viability rate, (meaning 95% on average are alive). It’s not thousands of primarily dead donor cells that can promote self-healing, but millions of your own living cells that have the greatest potential for a successful outcome.
Stem Cell Therapy has little to no recovery time. Patients should return to normal daily activities immediately following treatment. The time it takes for the patient to experience pain-relief is dependent on the degree of damage and each individual case. Using your own stem cells to facilitate healing takes time. Many patients begin to experience pain relief from 4 to 8 weeks following their procedure. Light exercise is encouraged immediately following your procedure, though patients should avoid repetitive, loading bearing exercise, such as weight lifting or running. Patients follow a post-procedure protocol, which has been designed by our integrated team of medical professionals, to allow the stem cells to do their work in an optimum environment. This encourages a high treatment success rate.
All medical procedures have risk factors. We take great care in minimizing any risk to the patient. Regenerative medicine applications are non-invasive, meaning nothing is added or taken away from your body. Because we only use your own stem cells, risk factors are minimized. All of our procedures are same day procedures and are performed on-site in our clinic and processed in our sterile lab. We use the latest state-of-the- art processing equipment and visual guidance equipment, such as C-arm Fluoroscopy or ultrasound guidance. The procedure has minimal discomfort, such as the prick of a needle, and little to no recovery time. Normal activity, with an emphasis on physical therapy of the injured area, is encouraged following the procedure, to optimize a successful outcome.
Stem cells have theoretically endless possibilities. At Ultimate Medical Group our primary focus is using stem cell therapy in orthopedic applications, such as knees, degenerative discs, rotator cuffs or hips, cosmetic procedures, and hair restoration. Please call or request a New Patient Consultation to determine if stem cell therapy is the best course of treatment for your condition.
Regenerative medicine has the potential to fully heal damaged tissues, offering solutions and hope for people who are looking for a non-surgical or non-medicated approach to recovery. Our goal is to educate, counsel, and inform patients so that they can make an informed decision about whether stem cell treatment is right for them. Not all conditions, and not all patients will respond to stem cell therapy. Please schedule a consultation for more information. Each patient is unique and our clinic is uniquely equipped to provide a network of professionals, renowned in their fields, to develop a specialized course of treatment designed for you.
