Stem Cell Therapy for Knees

Explore Regenerative Medicine Using Your Own Stem Cells

If you're living with chronic knee pain, osteoarthritis or a previous knee injury, regenerative medicine may be an option worth exploring.

At Kansas Regenerative Medicine Center, our approach to stem cell therapy uses your own stem cells as part of an individualized treatment plan. Our physicians evaluate your knee condition, medical history, available imaging and treatment goals to determine whether regenerative medicine may be appropriate for you.

Treatment is performed on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia. Your cells are carefully collected and prepared before being administered to the targeted area. Image guidance may be used when appropriate to help precisely administer treatment.

Stem cell therapy isn't appropriate for every knee condition, and results vary from patient to patient. Our goal is to help you understand your options and make an informed decision about your care.

Potential Benefits of KRMC's Approach to Knee Treatment

• Uses your own stem cells
• Physician-led evaluation and treatment
• Minimally invasive outpatient procedure
• Local anesthesia rather than general anesthesia
• Image-guided treatment when appropriate
• Individualized treatment and follow-up

Understanding Your Knee Treatment Options

Listen to Dr. Pope, M.D. discuss traditional arthritis treatments and where regenerative medicine may fit among the available options.

Arthritis treatment can involve a range of approaches depending on the patient and the severity of the joint condition. In this video, Dr. Pope discusses commonly used options, including anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, injections and joint replacement surgery. He also explains why each approach has its own role, benefits and limitations.

Dr. Pope then discusses regenerative medicine as another option that may be considered for appropriate patients. Rather than presenting it as a replacement for every traditional treatment, he describes regenerative medicine as one more tool available when evaluating treatment options for joint problems. He also emphasizes that joint replacement continues to have an important role for some patients.

At KRMC, regenerative medicine uses the patient's own stem cells. Whether this approach may be appropriate depends on the individual patient, the condition of the joint and other clinical factors. A physician evaluation can help patients better understand their options and what may be reasonable to expect.

In this webinar, Dr. Pope, M.D., shares his experience with traditional treatment approaches and discusses how regenerative medicine, including stem cell therapy, may be considered as an option for appropriate patients.
