Stem Cell SD Treatments

The Regenexx® Stem Cell-SD Orthopedic procedure is one of the world's most advanced Regenerative Medicine practices.  As a result, Rejuv Medical has always been on the cutting-edge when it comes to new technology in the medical industry, such as: PRP, prolotherapy, nerve therapy, and stem cell treatment. Stem Cell SD is the latest addition to Rejuv Medical's Non-Surgical Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Clinic.

Regenexx® Stem Cell SD (Same Day) - A bone marrow based stem cell procedure. spinning down marrow in a bedside machine produces a set amount of stem cells to be injected. Regenexx® Stem Cell SD can concentrate those cells many times over bedside centrifuges. In addition, adding super-platelet mix helps those cells multiply faster which grows more mesenchymal stem cells (based on in-vitro data). Unleash the power of your own stem cells!

How does the Stem Cell SD work?

Stem Cell-SD is a same day isolation of mesenchymal stem cells and new blood vessel
forming hematopoietic stem cells. We then combine that with a proprietary super platelet mix that’s been shown in the lab to make mesenchymal stem cell growth explode.

What should I expect?

The procedure begins in the morning with a “minidraw” where the patient has cells harvested by Joel Baumgartner, M.D. The back of the hip is numbed and a small amount of bone marrow aspirate is taken. The patient then gives a small blood sample. These samples are taken to our lab and processed. The patient returns that afternoon for reinjection into the injured area. Musculoskeletal ultrasound is used to re-inject the stem cells into a specific area. Re-injections can be as soon as 6 weeks. We recommend that most patients will need 2-4 injection cycles.

Does The Research Show That Stem Cells Can Heal Orthopedic Injuries?

Yes, many studies have confirmed that the types of stem cells can help heal cartilage, non-healing bones, meniscus, ligaments, and tendons.

Who is a candidate?

• Osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, ankle, shoulder, and hands

•  Patients with non-healing bone fractures

• Certain types of injuries to the meniscus, hip labrum, shoulder labrum, shoulder SLAP lesions

• Tendon injuries such as partial rotator cuff or other partial muscle-tendon tears

• Avascular Necrosis of the hip, shoulder, knee, ankle

How safe is the stem cell treatment?

We have followed many patients both clinically and with multiple high field MRI’s to ensure that this type of stem cell procedure is safe. We are practicing under the direction of the longest running clinical experience with adult mesenchymal stem cells of any medical practice in the US.
