What Are Stem Cells Used For?
Understanding the Power of Stem Cells
Stem cells are the building blocks of the body — capable of transforming into different cell types and helping the body repair itself. In modern medicine, they are being used to reduce inflammation, regenerate tissue, and restore function in patients with chronic diseases or injuries.
Top Medical Conditions Treated with Stem Cells
At Innovations Stem Cell Center, we use fat-based adult stem cells to treat a wide range of conditions, including:
Joint pain (knees, shoulders, hips)
Back pain and herniated discs
Autoimmune diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Kidney disease (CKD)
Peripheral neuropathy and nerve damage
Erectile dysfunction and bladder issues
Long COVID and post-viral syndromes
These conditions benefit from the anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects of stem cells, which help repair tissue and improve function without surgery.
How Stem Cells Are Collected and Used
We use your body’s own adipose (fat)-derived adult stem cells, collected through a gentle mini-liposuction procedure. These cells are isolated, processed, and reinjected into areas of need or delivered via IV, depending on the condition.
Because we use your own cells, there’s no risk of rejection or ethical concerns. The procedure is done while you’re awake and typically takes about 4 hours.
Stem Cell Therapy vs. Other Options
Traditional treatments like medications, surgery, and steroid injections often just mask symptoms. Stem cell therapy aims to repair and restore — offering a long-term solution with less downtime and fewer risks. It’s especially helpful for patients who want to avoid joint replacement or immune-suppressing drugs.
