Frequently Asked Questions
What orthopedic conditions are treated with stem cell therapy at Clinica de Artrosis?
We primarily treat degenerative joint conditions such as osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, and shoulder. We also use stem cell therapy to address sports injuries, including damage to cartilage, tendons, and ligaments, helping to accelerate natural healing and reduce recovery times.
Is stem cell therapy a safe alternative to orthopedic surgery?
For many patients, stem cell therapy is a very safe and effective alternative to invasive surgery. Because the therapy uses your body’s own cells (autologous), the risk of rejection or allergic reaction is virtually eliminated. Our clinic adheres to strict Good Clinical Practices (GCP) to ensure the highest safety and quality standards for every procedure.
Where do the stem cells for the treatments come from?
The stem cells used in our treatments are autologous, meaning they are harvested from your own body. Typically, they are sourced from bone marrow or adipose (fat) tissue. This process is minimally invasive and ensures perfect compatibility, maximizing the safety and effectiveness of the therapy.
How long is the recovery period after stem cell therapy for joints?
Recovery is significantly faster than with traditional surgery. Most patients can resume light activities within a few days. A full recovery and the maximum benefits of the therapy are typically seen over several weeks to months as the cells work to repair the damaged tissue. Your doctor will provide a personalized rehabilitation plan to support your recovery.
What makes Medellin, Colombia, a good destination for orthopedic care?
Medellin is a hub for medical excellence, offering access to highly skilled specialists and modern facilities at a more accessible cost than many Western countries. Clinica de Artrosis combines this with a beautiful, tranquil environment for recovery, comprehensive international patient support, and a commitment to world-class medical standards.
How does the multidisciplinary team approach benefit my treatment?
Our team includes specialists in orthopedics, sports medicine, neurology, and rehabilitation. This collaborative approach ensures a comprehensive diagnosis and a holistic treatment plan that addresses all aspects of your condition, from the physical injury to pain management and long-term functional improvement.
What kind of results can I expect from stem cell therapy for osteoarthritis?
Patients often experience a significant reduction in chronic pain, decreased inflammation, and improved joint function and mobility. The goal of the therapy is to slow the progression of the disease and stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms, potentially delaying or eliminating the need for joint replacement surgery. Results vary by individual, but many report a substantial improvement in their quality of life.
