Stem Cell Therapy for Chronic Pain Relief: A Drug-Free Option
May 22, 2025

Rethinking Chronic Pain Management

Chronic pain affects over 50 million Americans. Whether it’s persistent back pain, aching joints, or nerve-related discomfort, the impact on daily life can be overwhelming. For many, the go-to solutions—prescription medications, steroid injections, or even surgery—offer only temporary relief or come with unwanted side effects.

Fortunately, there’s a new solution on the rise: stem cell therapy for chronic pain relief. This innovative, non-surgical treatment is gaining momentum among patients seeking a natural, drug-free alternative. At Smith Plastic Surgery, we use cutting-edge regenerative medicine to help you heal from within—without relying on invasive procedures or pharmaceuticals.


What Is Stem Cell Therapy?

Stem cells are the body's natural repair system. These powerful cells have the ability to develop into different types of tissue—such as cartilage, muscle, bone, or nerve—and trigger regeneration where it’s needed most.

In stem cell therapy, we use adipose-derived stem cells, taken from a small sample of your own fat tissue. These cells are processed and then injected into the areas of chronic pain. Once there, they begin working to reduce inflammation, stimulate tissue repair, and improve function—naturally and effectively.


Conditions Treated with Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cell therapy is ideal for patients suffering from a wide range of chronic pain conditions, especially those related to inflammation and tissue degeneration. Commonly treated issues include:

  • Joint Pain

  • Arthritis and Osteoarthritis

  • Tendon and Ligament Injuries

  • Lower Back Pain and Degenerative Disc Disease

  • Neuropathic Pain and Nerve Inflammation

  • Sports Injuries and Muscle Strains

This regenerative approach offers a long-term solution where other treatments may have failed.


Why Choose a Drug-Free Option?

Many traditional pain treatments focus on symptom management rather than healing. Stem cell therapy, on the other hand, addresses the root cause of pain—damaged or inflamed tissue. Key benefits include:

  • No reliance on opioids or NSAIDs

  • Minimal downtime

  • Lower risk of complications

  • Natural tissue regeneration

  • Improved mobility and quality of life

For those looking to avoid the risks of long-term medication use or invasive surgeries, stem cell therapy offers a safe and sustainable path forward.


How the Procedure Works

At our Las Vegas clinic, stem cell therapy is a simple outpatient procedure typically completed in under two hours. Here's what to expect:

  1. Consultation
    We begin with a detailed evaluation of your medical history and pain profile to ensure you're a candidate for stem cell therapy.

  2. Tissue Collection
    Using local anesthesia, we extract a small amount of fat (usually from the abdomen or thigh).

  3. Stem Cell Isolation
    The tissue is processed on-site in our sterile facility to isolate and concentrate the regenerative stem cells.

  4. Precision Injection
    The stem cells are injected into the affected area using ultrasound or image guidance for pinpoint accuracy.

  5. Recovery
    There is little to no downtime. Most patients resume normal activities within 24–48 hours.

Results are progressive and typically improve over several weeks to months as the body heals naturally.

Backed by Science

Recent studies published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine and Regenerative Medicine confirm that stem cell therapy:

  • Reduces pain and inflammation in joints

  • Increases cartilage thickness and function

  • Lowers dependency on pain medications

  • Enhances healing in ligament and tendon injuries
