Joint pain
Recurring pain in the knee, neck, lower back, shoulder, elbow or foot can come from joints, tendons, ligaments or cartilage. The clinic first checks where the pain comes from and how far the damage goes, then plans treatment. Own-cell options are one possibility, not the starting point.
Areas the clinic lists
- Knee
- Shoulder and elbow
- Lower back and neck
- Foot
Conditions it names
- Degenerative joint change and arthritis
- Cartilage and ligament injury
- Rotator cuff problems
- Disc problems, plantar fasciitis
What the research says
A 2025 Cochrane review of stem cell injections for knee osteoarthritis found that, compared with a placebo injection, they may slightly improve pain and function up to six months, based on low-certainty evidence. The reviewers remain uncertain about any effect on the joint structure and about long-term safety. Any injection into a joint carries a small risk of infection.
