Joint and tendon regeneration with stem cells

Regenerative cell therapy involves the injection of live cells with healing properties directly into the damaged joint or tendon, such as the knee, hip, shoulder, ankle, or wrist, using real-time imaging (ultrasound and fluoroscopy) to ensure precise placement. Unlike blind injections, these cells not only relieve joint pain but also instruct the tissue to repair itself. This therapy can be combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the patient's own blood to enhance results. It serves as a viable alternative to surgery for conditions like knee, hip, and shoulder osteoarthritis, meniscus injuries, chronic tendinitis, degenerated tendons, and worn cartilage, particularly for those who do not respond to conventional injections or wish to avoid or postpone joint replacement surgery. At Integralgia, this advanced regenerative medicine procedure is performed by Dr. Viviana Gutiérrez Mesino, a pain specialist with international FIPP (Fellow of Interventional Pain Practice) certification and over 5,000 interventional procedures performed, ensuring precision-guided regeneration. The protocol is complemented by preparatory (Booster) therapy and anti-inflammatory recovery using hyperbaric oxygen therapy to optimize tissue repair.
