Our regenerative therapies are designed to help patients manage or improve a range of knee-related problems, especially when traditional options have stalled. Common conditions include:
- Osteoarthritis of the knee
- Meniscus injuries or degeneration
- ACL / MCL sprains or partial tears
- Patellar tendinitis (“jumper’s knee”)
- Chronic inflammation, stiffness, or pain from overuse or aging
Many patients come to KRMC after limited relief from cortisone injections, physical therapy, or medications—and some wish to delay or avoid total knee-replacement surgery. For details, see our blog post comparing regenerative medicine vs. knee surgery.
We specialize in autologous adipose-derived stem cell therapy—meaning the cells come from your own fat tissue. During a brief outpatient visit we:
- Harvest a small amount of fat (typically from the abdomen or flank).
- Process the tissue in our on-site laboratory to concentrate regenerative stem cells.
- Ultrasound-guide the injection precisely into the knee joint.
Because we use your own cells, there is virtually no risk of immune rejection. Mayo Clinic provides a good overview of stem-cell science.
Our knee procedure is:
- Minimally invasive – local anesthesia only; no hospital stay
- Same-day – plan 2-3 hours door-to-door
- Personalized – dosing and rehab plan tailored to your imaging and goals
- Supported – our clinical team tracks your progress through recovery
See our step-by-step overview of the treatment process for full details.
Since 2014, KRMC has helped thousands across the Midwest regain mobility and reduce pain —often postponing or avoiding major surgery. Highlights include:
- Experienced physicians focused solely on regenerative orthopedics
- On-site laboratory for same-day cell processing
- Comprehensive follow-up and physical-therapy partnerships
- Proven track record – browse our patient success stories
Every journey starts with a free consultation. Our physicians review your imaging, medical history, and lifestyle goals to decide if stem-cell therapy makes sense. While results differ, many patients report:
- Reduced pain and stiffness
- Improved range of motion
- Return to work, sports, or daily activities sooner than expected
