Stem cell therapy may help relieve joint pain in patients with degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis. If hip, knee, or shoulder joint degeneration is preventing you from living life to the fullest, consider visiting Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group near Brandon, Florida. Our board-certified physicians, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Daniel Murphy and sports medicine specialist Dr. Arnold Ramirez, take a conservative approach to treatment that focuses on avoiding extensive surgery by utilizing regenerative medicines and progressive therapies, including stem cell treatment.

Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group near Brandon, FL, is pleased to offer mesenchymal stem cell therapy, which is not associated with embryonic stem cells. Rather, mesenchymal stem cells are harvested from the patient’s own bone marrow or amniotic membrane and fluid, and injected into the damaged site to help trigger the body’s natural healing mechanisms. This may delay the need for surgery in some patients with degenerative joint pain. Stem cell therapy may also be appropriate for patients with musculoskeletal injuries, such as labral tears, meniscus tears, and rotator cuff injuries.

As a Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group patient, your condition will be carefully evaluated by one of our physicians, who will determine if stem cell treatment is the most appropriate form of care for your individual needs. We offer many other non-surgical treatments, including viscosupplementation, platelet rich plasma therapy (PRP injections), physical therapy, and more. And while we focus on relieving pain in a non-surgical manner, Dr. Murphy practices the latest advances in joint replacement and other procedures for patients who require surgery.

Contact Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group for more information about stem cell therapy or any of our treatments. We are proud to serve patients of all ages in the Brandon, FL, area.
