Stem Cell Therapy Advantages
No risk of rejection – Autologous stem cells are harvested from and reintroduced into your own body.
Minimally invasive – In strong contrast to invasive surgery, such as joint replacement, stem cell procedures are minimally invasive. The procedures are out-patient and performed in approximately 3 hours.
Avoiding surgery – We have used stem cell therapy to help many patients avoid knee replacement surgery, arthroscopic surgery, spinal fusion surgery, spinal disc replacement surgery, and many other orthopedic surgeries.
Rebuild your own healthy tissue – Stem cell procedures have the potential to improve your own joint, disc and soft tissue areas.
No general anesthesia – Due to the minimally invasive character, no general anesthesia is needed. We utilize light IV sedation to make the patient comfortable throughout the procedure.
Fast recovery – Stem cell patients usually return to work in 1-2 days and do not typically require bracing or crutches.

Stem Cell Procedure
A patient’s specific procedure will be decided upon during an initial consultation. Below is a brief general guideline of what to expect.
- Consultation
- Stem cell procedure
- Regenerative process – this typically begins within the first 3 months following the procedure.
- Follow-up treatment – 4 weeks after the initial procedure, patients return to ThriveMD for a follow up injection. This booster provides additional growth factors and/or cells to support the ongoing healing process.
Stem cell therapy is a minimally invasive, out-patient procedure performed in one of our procedure suites.
