Hip pain can significantly impact your ability to perform everyday activities and enjoy an active lifestyle. Dr. Steven Struhl offers advanced stem cell therapy as a minimally invasive solution to treat hip pain caused by injuries, arthritis, and degenerative conditions. At his clinics in NYC and White Plains, Dr. Struhl provides personalized care to help patients achieve relief and restore mobility through regenerative medicine.
Understanding Stem Cell Therapy for Hip Pain
Stem cell therapy is an innovative treatment that uses the body’s own regenerative cells to repair damaged tissue and reduce inflammation. Stem cells are “blank cells” that can transform into different tissue types, including cartilage, bone, and soft tissue. When concentrated and injected into the hip joint, these cells stimulate the body’s natural healing response, addressing the root cause of pain and improving joint function.
How Stem Cell Therapy Works
- Stem Cell Collection: Stem cells are harvested from the patient’s bone marrow in a quick, minimally invasive procedure.
- Processing for Maximum Effectiveness: The collected cells are processed in a centrifuge to concentrate their regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Targeted Injection: The concentrated stem cells are sterilized and injected directly into the hip joint or surrounding tissues to promote healing and reduce inflammation.
Applications of Stem Cell Therapy for Hips
The hip’s ball-and-socket joint is critical for weight-bearing and movement, making it susceptible to both injury and degenerative conditions. Stem cell therapy can be used to treat arthritis, labral tears, bursitis, and other painful conditions that impact the hips, reducing inflammation and supporting tissue repair.
Stem cell therapy is particularly beneficial for the following hip conditions:
- Hip Arthritis: Reduces joint inflammation and supports cartilage regeneration to alleviate stiffness and pain.
- Labral Tears: Promotes the repair of the labrum, a cartilage ring that stabilizes the hip joint.
- Trochanteric Bursitis: Targets inflammation in the hip bursa, providing pain relief and promoting tissue healing.
- Avascular Necrosis (AVN): Improves blood flow and regenerates tissue in areas affected by limited blood supply.
Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy for Hip Pain
Stem cell therapy provides a range of benefits for patients seeking to alleviate hip pain and improve mobility:
- Minimally Invasive: This in-office procedure eliminates the need for surgery or extended recovery times.
- Natural Healing: By using the patient’s own cells, stem cell therapy supports the body’s natural repair mechanisms for long-term results.
- Delays or Prevents Surgery: For many patients, stem cell therapy can delay or even eliminate the need for invasive procedures like hip replacement surgery.
What to Expect After Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy’s effects develop gradually as the body’s healing processes take effect. Most patients begin to notice reduced pain and improved mobility within a few weeks, with continued improvements over the following months. By addressing the underlying causes of hip pain, this treatment provides long-lasting relief and improved joint health.
