What is Stem Cell Therapy?

Stem cells are cells that can develop into other types of cells, and they release signaling molecules such as growth factors and cytokines that play a part in how the body repairs tissue. Stem cell therapy is a branch of regenerative medicine that uses cells, or products derived from them, with the aim of supporting those repair processes.

At Encompass, stem cell therapy is offered as a regenerative option, and it is one we discuss carefully. Our IV menu includes IV mesenchymal stem cells, and regenerative options are also discussed alongside joint injections for a painful joint. Which product would be used, how it is given and whether it is appropriate for you at all are decided at your consultation.

It is worth being clear about what the science does and does not say. FDA-approved stem cell products are limited to a small number of uses, such as certain blood and immune system disorders. None is approved for joint pain, anti-aging, fatigue or the other uses you may read about online. We will tell you what is and is not known before you decide anything.

Common Questions About Stem Cell Therapy

Is stem cell therapy FDA-approved?

Not for the uses most people ask about. FDA-approved stem cell products are limited to a small number of uses, such as certain blood and immune system disorders. No stem cell product is FDA-approved for joint pain, anti-aging or general wellness. We offer stem cell therapy as a regenerative option and discuss it openly at consultation.

What kind of stem cells do you use?

Our IV menu lists IV mesenchymal stem cells. The specific product, where it comes from and how it is given are explained at your consultation, so you know exactly what you would be receiving before you decide.

How is stem cell therapy different from PRP?

PRP uses platelet-rich plasma concentrated from a small draw of your own blood during the visit. Stem cell therapy uses cells or cell-derived products. Both are regenerative approaches, but they are not interchangeable, and your provider will explain which, if either, fits your goals.

What results can I expect?

Results vary, and we do not promise a particular outcome. Your provider will talk through realistic expectations for your situation at the consultation.

Can stem cells be combined with joint injections?

Regenerative options, including stem cell therapy, are discussed at the same consultation as joint injections. Your provider will explain the options for your joint and why one might be recommended over another.
