Stem Cell Therapy for Hips

What is Stem Cell Therapy for Hips?

\
Stem cell therapy is great for ligament strains and partial tears, labral tears, bursitis, and any level of arthritis.

However, many people come in with acute hip injuries.

\
Stem cells are a better treatment for acute hip injuries than surgery

especially when it comes to problems with the labrum. Over the years, most studies have shown that labral surgery is often unnecessary and that stem cell therapy can be just as effective, if not better. And it certainly is safer than traditional surgery.

How Does Stem Cell Therapy Work?

1. Harvesting Stem Cells

Stem cells can be taken from 2 places in your body: bone marrow aspirate and adipose (fat) tissue. The doctor may recommend treating you with one or both, depending on the severity of your condition. Adipose (fat) tissue stem cells are taken from your stomach or buttocks via a mini liposuction. You are numbed up with only a local anesthetic, and the process takes about 10-15 minutes. Bone marrow aspirate is taken from the back part of the iliac crest of your hip. You are numbed up with only a local anesthetic, and the process takes less than 5 minutes.

2. Preparing the Injection

Adipose (fat) tissue stem cells are processed in a centrifuge machine to remove the oils and fluids and isolate the stem cells. NeoGenix uses the marrow cellutons needle to harvest the strongest and most pure bone marrow possible with small individual draws from each layer of the marrow and, therefore, does not require a centrifuge.

3. Injecting the Stem Cells into the Hip

All injections are performed with guided imaging, using either fluoroscopic or ultrasound guidance to place the stem cells exactly into the injured areas. After the injections, patients are sore to very sore for the next 48-72 hours, depending on pain tolerance. By one week after the stem cell injections, we expect patients to be back to baseline or exactly where they were before the stem cell injections.

Who is a Good Candidate for Stem Cell Therapy for Hips?

Stem Cell Therapy for hips
Individuals with hip injuries, osteoarthritis at all levels, chronic hip cartilage degeneration, labral tears, bursitis, and ligament sprains and strains.

Those who have not responded to traditional treatments and patients facing surgery are typically the ones who seek out alternative stem cell treatments.

What Are the Different Types of Stem Cells Used in Hip Therapy?

Autologous Stem Cells
Bone Marrow, Adipose (Fat) Tissue or both:
  • Source of Stem Cells: Autologous (from you)
  • Treatment Areas: Knees, Hips, Shoulders, Low Backs, Hips, Necks, Hands/Wrists and Feet/Ankles
  • Stage of Arthritis/Injury: Moderate to Severe

Dr. Altizer at NeoGenix was one of the first physicians in the United States to combine bone marrow and fat tissue stem cells to treat severe arthritis. Since then, many of the leading stem cell physicians in the country have followed his lead. He calls this injection his “Super Shot,” a double dose of stem cells to treat severe arthritis aggressively.

What Are the Potential Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy for Hips?

Many patients find relief from pain and stiffness caused by hip injuries or osteoarthritis with stem cell treatments. Many research studies have demonstrated significant improvement in hip pain and cartilage quality following stem cell therapy, and numerous ongoing studies continue to evaluate the benefits.
Patients who have received stem cell therapy at NeoGenix have reported:
  • Reduced Inflammation as the stem cells begin to heal their injury.
  • Tissue Regeneration with follow-up x-rays and/or MRIs to show increased joint space in their hip.
  • Pain relief starts at roughly the 3 to 6-week mark after their stem cell injections.

What Are the Risks and Side Effects of Stem Cell Therapy?

Infection

Whenever you are breaking the skin, there is always a risk for infection. NeoGenix medical doctors have performed over 5000 stem cell procedures and have never had 1 patient get an infection.

Rejection of Stem Cells

Because the stem cells used at NeoGenix come from our own body, there is no chance of your body rejecting the stem cells like it could if you received donor tissue stem cells.

Bleeding or Bruising

There is mild to moderate bleeding and bruising that typically occurs at the stem cell harvesting sites. This generally will last for only 48-72 hours.

What is the Recovery Process for Stem Cell Therapy?

Rest and Limited Activity

For the first few weeks is recommended. You will be sore fore 48-72 hours after your stem cell injections and by 1 week you will be back to baseline before you had your injections.

Studies show Physical Therapy

Combined with stem cell therapy works better than either one individually and we believe that wholeheartedly. Our medical doctors will help heal your knee joint internally. However, if you have muscle weakness, problems with your gait or compensation issues, a PT must correct that.

Follow-up Appointments

Are typically done every 1 to 3 months after your stem cell injections depending on your condition. Our medical doctors will constantly check on your progress to ensure you are doing everything you can to maximize the results of your stem cell therapy.

Stem Cell Therapy for Hips FAQs

How does stem cell therapy for hips compare to traditional surgical options?

Stem cell therapy for hips offers a less invasive alternative to traditional hip replacement surgery, with potentially shorter recovery times and lower risks of complications. This innovative treatment uses the patient’s own stem cells to promote natural healing and regeneration of damaged hip tissues, potentially reducing pain and improving mobility without the need for major surgery.

Unlike hip replacement, which involves removing the damaged joint and replacing it with an artificial implant, stem cell therapy aims to repair and regenerate existing tissue. While hip replacement provides immediate pain relief, stem cell therapy may offer a more gradual improvement with the potential for long-term benefits and a reduced need for future surgeries.

Additionally, stem cell therapy is typically an outpatient procedure with minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their normal activities more quickly compared to the lengthy recovery associated with hip replacement surgery.

What are the long-term success rates of stem cell therapy for hip conditions?

Stem cell therapy for hip conditions shows promising long-term success rates, with studies reporting positive outcomes lasting up to 4 years or more. Long-term follow-ups indicate that stem cell therapy can delay or even prevent the need for hip replacement surgery in many cases. While more research is needed, current evidence suggests that stem cell therapy can provide lasting relief for hip pain and improved mobility, making it an attractive alternative to invasive surgeries for many patients. It’s important to note that success rates may vary depending on the specific hip condition and severity, but overall, stem cell therapy shows potential as a long-term solution for hip problems.

What are the latest advancements in stem cell therapy for hip conditions?

Stem cell therapy for hip conditions has seen significant advancements in recent years, offering a promising alternative to traditional hip surgeries. The latest developments include using stem cells combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to promote tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation in the hip joint. This non-surgical approach targets various hip conditions, including osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, and labral tears, by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes.

Researchers are also exploring innovative techniques for isolating and expanding stem cells, enhancing their therapeutic potential for hip dysplasia and other degenerative conditions. With ongoing clinical trials and research, stem cell therapy is emerging as a revolutionary treatment option that may help patients avoid hip replacement surgery, reduce pain, and improve mobility without the risks associated with invasive procedures.

Are there any specific qualifications or certifications required for doctors performing stem cell therapy for hips?

When it comes to stem cell therapy for hips, patients should seek out qualified orthopedic specialists or regenerative medicine experts. While there’s no single universal certification for stem cell therapy, doctors should have specific training in regenerative medicine and stem cell procedures.

Additionally, iIt’s crucial to choose a doctor with a track record of successful hip stem cell treatments and who stays up-to-date with the latest advancements in regenerative medicine, like our team of doctors here at NeoGenix. Reach out to our team today with your questions!
