Dr. Steven Struhl specializes in innovative treatments designed to reduce knee pain and improve mobility. As a leader in regenerative medicine, Dr. Struhl offers advanced stem cell therapy, a minimally invasive option for addressing knee injuries and degenerative conditions. With locations in NYC and White Plains, he provides personalized care to help patients find relief and restore their quality of life through regenerative medicine.
Understanding Stem Cell Therapy for Knee Pain
Stem cell therapy harnesses the body’s natural healing potential to repair damaged tissues and reduce inflammation in knee joints. Stem cells, often referred to as “blank cells,” can differentiate into various tissue types, making them a powerful tool for repairing cartilage, ligaments, and other structures in the knee. By injecting concentrated stem cells directly into the affected area, Dr. Steven Struhl stimulates tissue repair, decreases inflammation, and minimizes pain.
How Stem Cell Therapy Works
- Harvesting Stem Cells: Stem cells are collected from the patient’s bone marrow in a minimally invasive procedure.
- Processing for Potency: The collected cells are processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the stem cells and growth factors, enhancing their healing properties.
- Precise Injection: The concentrated stem cells are sterilized and injected into the knee joint or surrounding tissues to target the site of injury or degeneration.
Applications of Stem Cell Therapy for Knees
The knee joints are susceptible to injury and degenerative disease, causing pain and limiting mobility. Regenerative treatments can be an effective option for stimulating tissue repair and reducing inflammation in the knees to reduce pain and improve performance. Stem cell therapy is effective for treating arthritis, ligament damage, cartilage loss, and tendonitis in the knee joints, resulting in less pain and improved function.
Stem cell therapy is can be used for addressing specific knee conditions, including:
- Osteoarthritis: Promotes cartilage regeneration to reduce stiffness and improve joint function.
- Meniscus Tears: Repairs the meniscus, a vital cartilage that cushions the knee joint.
- Ligament Injuries (ACL, PCL, MCL): Stimulates tissue repair for sprains, tears, or strains.
- Patellar Tendonitis (Jumper’s Knee): Reduces inflammation and supports tendon healing.
The Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy for Knee Pain
Stem cell therapy offers several advantages for patients seeking effective knee pain relief:
- Minimally Invasive: This in-office procedure is completed in less than an hour and requires little to no downtime.
- Natural Healing: By using the patient’s own cells, stem cell therapy supports the body’s natural ability to heal and regenerate.
- Delaying Surgery: Stem cell treatments can delay or even prevent the need for invasive procedures like knee replacement surgery in some patients.
What to Expect After Treatment
The effects of stem cell therapy develop gradually as the body’s natural repair processes are stimulated. Most patients begin to notice reduced pain and improved mobility within a few weeks of treatment, with continued improvement over the following months. Stem cell therapy provides long-term relief by addressing the underlying causes of knee pain, rather than merely masking the symptoms.
