The answer to pain relief for many patients struggling with knee and other arthritic joint pain who want to avoid surgery doesn't come in a bottle, it comes in a syringe. It’s called Lipogems.
There are specialized “smart cells” abundant in adult abdominal fat called stem cells. These adult stem cells have the potential to differentiate into cartilage, ligament, tendon, bone, fat, and muscle. When arthritic knees and other joints have failed all conservative therapy, and patients want to avoid surgery, directly injecting the Lipogems has been scientifically validated and proven safe and effective in numerous published peer-reviewed studies in orthopedic applications.
The FDA cleared procedure uses a small amount of painlessly aspirated abdominal fat from the patient. It is washed, cleansed, and resized into an injectable reparative cellular treatment in the sterile self-contained Lipogems system. Once made, the Lipogems are loaded into syringes in preparation for the injections.
Many think arthritis is a problem involving only the cartilage in a joint. Cartilage may be where it begins, but that is not where it ends up. By the time the joint fails to function the damage has spread to many other structures that support, stabilize, and mobilize the knee.
The function of a knee, for example, is the result of all parts working together. The cartilage, meniscus, ligaments, tendons, and muscle. Each provides an essential role in joint function, and they're not restores function, each must be examined in fine detail to gather as much information as possible in order to maximize the outcome afterward. Certified in diagnostic ultrasound imaging, we accomplish this by viewing the cartilage, ligaments, meniscus, tendons, and muscle at the time of the visit. Once every location where arthritis has compromised the function of an essential structure is mapped for treatment, the ultrasound imaging is used to guide the needle placement to ensure that every location is covered, filled, and infiltrated with the Lipogems.
Conditions we have success with the symptoms from:
ü Neck Pain
ü Shoulder Pain
ü Rotator Cuff Tear
ü Labral Tear
ü Hand Pain
ü Thumb Pain
ü Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
ü Low Back Pain
ü Hip Pain
ü Sciatica
ü Knee Pain
ü Ankle Pain
ü Foot Pain
ü Plantar Fasciitis
ü Peripheral Neuropathy
Now with more than 70 published peer-reviewed studies worldwide, there is scientific validation and a track record of published success following Lipogems that patients can rely on.
Helping patients of all ages who want to avoid surgery and move again is why we’re here.
