It’s important to consider the benefits of mesenchymal stem cells and related treatments. This is particularly true for patients in Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg, Florida, who are seeking ways to manage pain caused by a musculoskeletal condition or sports injury. The Board-certified physicians at Tampa Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine offer innovative and effective stem cell treatment options that are non-surgical, highly adaptable, and may be able to restore a patient’s active lifestyle without raising the ethical dilemmas associated with embryonic stem cell use. That’s because we only use stem cells that are derived from a patient’s own body.
Because the stem cell treatments we offer are minimally invasive, our patients typically don’t need extended periods of rehabilitation or physical therapy, and can usually return to their day-to-day activities sooner than if they had undergone a full surgical procedure. Also, our stem cell procedures are performed at an outpatient surgery center located in Tampa, FL, and eliminate the need for the patient to be hospitalized overnight.
Stem cell treatments are highly adaptable in the sense that stem cells can be administered to the knees, hips, shoulders, or other joints that are causing a variety of problems for the patient. Some of the symptoms that may be reduced through stem cell therapy include:
- Chronic pain
- Inflammation
- Stiffness
- Swelling
- Locking
- And more
By alleviating pain and other symptoms, stem cell treatments may allow some patients to experience increased mobility, regain function, and enjoy more active lifestyles. If you live in Tampa, Clearwater, or St. Petersburg, FL, and would like to learn more about the benefits of stem cells, or see if you may be a candidate for a stem cell procedure, contact Tampa Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine.
