Unlocking the Power of Regenerative Medicine
Stem cell therapy is revolutionizing the world of non-surgical treatment. Once limited to experimental labs and clinical trials, regenerative medicine is now available in trusted medical settings—offering real, lasting relief for people dealing with a wide range of chronic and degenerative conditions.
At Smith Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas, stem cell therapy is helping patients recover faster, reduce pain naturally, and improve quality of life without relying on drugs or surgery. But what exactly can stem cell therapy treat?
Below, we break down the top conditions that stem cell therapy can help manage or even reverse.
1. Osteoarthritis and Joint Degeneration
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of adults. It's caused by the gradual breakdown of cartilage in joints—resulting in pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.
Stem cell therapy helps by:
- Stimulating cartilage regeneration
- Reducing joint inflammation
- Improving joint lubrication and mobility
Commonly treated areas include the knees, hips, shoulders, and hands.
Great for those looking to delay or avoid joint replacement surgery.
2. Chronic Lower Back Pain
Back pain is one of the leading causes of disability in the U.S. For many, the cause is degenerative disc disease, where spinal discs lose hydration and flexibility over time.
Stem cells injected into spinal discs can:
- Rehydrate and support damaged tissue
- Reduce inflammation around nerves
- Encourage regeneration of disc and soft tissue
Patients often report reduced pain and improved function within weeks of treatment.
3. Tendonitis and Ligament Injuries
Whether it’s tennis elbow, rotator cuff injury, or Achilles tendonitis, repetitive stress injuries in the tendons and ligaments can take months to heal—or may not heal properly at all.
Stem cell therapy accelerates this process by:
- Healing microscopic tears in tendons
- Improving collagen formation
- Reducing scar tissue buildup
Perfect for athletes or active individuals looking to recover without downtime.
4. Sports Injuries
From muscle strains to torn ligaments, athletes at all levels suffer injuries that limit performance. Regenerative injections using stem cells can significantly cut down recovery time and reduce the risk of re-injury.
Conditions often treated include:
- Meniscus tears
- Hamstring strains
- ACL/MCL sprains
- Labral tears (hip or shoulder)
Stem cell therapy helps your body rebuild faster and stronger.
5. Neuropathy and Nerve Pain
Chronic nerve pain, also known as neuropathy, can be caused by diabetes, injury, or inflammation that affects peripheral nerves.
Stem cells offer relief by:
- Calming inflammation near nerve roots
- Encouraging nerve regeneration
- Improving circulation and tissue repair
Patients with sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, or post-surgical nerve damage may see notable improvement.
6. Cartilage Damage
Cartilage doesn’t regenerate easily on its own, and damage from sports, age, or arthritis can cause chronic pain.
Stem cell injections can:
- Rebuild cartilage structure
- Increase joint cushioning
- Improve range of motion
This treatment is often used in knees, hips, and shoulders to restore joint health and reduce pain.
7. Soft Tissue Injuries
Soft tissue damage includes trauma to muscles, ligaments, or connective tissue—often due to sports or overuse.
Stem cell therapy:
- Accelerates tissue healing
- Reduces inflammation
- Improves strength and flexibility of the healed area
It’s an excellent option for people with recurrent strains or sprains that never fully heal.
8. Post-Surgical Recovery
Stem cells don’t just help avoid surgery—they also support healing after surgery.
Used in post-op protocols, stem cell therapy:
- Speeds tissue regeneration
- Reduces scar formation
- Shortens downtime
Patients who receive regenerative support often return to daily life faster and with less pain.
9. Degenerative Conditions
In addition to injury-related issues, stem cell therapy may benefit patients with degenerative conditions such as:
- Degenerative disc disease
- Rheumatoid arthritis (in early stages)
- Autoimmune-related joint inflammation
These conditions involve chronic tissue breakdown, and stem cells can help slow progression and promote healing at the cellular level.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a candidate for stem cell therapy if you:
- Suffer from chronic joint, back, or tendon pain
- Want to avoid surgery or long-term medication use
- Are recovering from a sports injury
- Are experiencing age-related degenerative conditions
- Want a natural, drug-free solution for pain relief
A personalized consultation at our Las Vegas clinic will help determine your eligibility.
