for Joint Pain
A Surgery-Free Way to Help Restore Your Mobility
Joint Pain Is Slowing You Down – But It Doesn’t Have To
If you’re dealing with ongoing hip pain, knee or ankle stiffness, or a shoulder injury that just won’t heal, you may have been told that surgery is your only option. That’s not always the case. At thriveMD, stem cell therapy for joints has helped many patients find relief from chronic conditions like cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritis, as well as acute injuries such as ACL, MCL, and meniscus tears. This minimally invasive treatment uses your body’s own regenerative cells to reduce pain, support healing, and improve joint function. For many, it’s a powerful alternative to arthroscopic procedures or total knee replacement, helping them get back to moving comfortably and living actively without surgery.
A Smarter Path to Relief: How Stem Cell Therapy Helps Joints
Living with chronic joint pain or discomfort can make even the simplest movements feel like a challenge. For many, the traditional path leads from temporary fixes like medication and physical therapy to more invasive procedures, including surgery. But what if there was another option?
Stem cell therapy has the potential to offer many long-term benefits over traditional treatments:
- Minimally invasive outpatient procedure
- Significantly reduced risks compared to traditional surgery
- Faster recovery time and minimal work downtime
- Promotes tissue regeneration in addition to treating symptoms

Stem Cell Treatments for Hip Pain
The hip joint is an important one. It helps us stand upright, walk, run, and sit, thus sustaining our body’s weight while still enabling us to move freely. When injury, disease, or aging results in hip pain, many people find themselves unable to comfortably engage in the normal activities of daily living, causing them to lose functional ability and sleep and/or become psychologically impaired.
Stem cell therapy for the hip joint works by stimulating cellular growth within damaged tissue. This regenerative procedure is an excellent alternative to surgery, as it works to reduce inflammation and cell death, speed healing, and aid in local tissue repair – all while avoiding surgery and its accompanying risks and complications.

Joint Pain Stem Therapy Frequently Asked Questions
Take the first step toward feeling your best.
Am I a candidate for joint stem cell therapy?
A suitable candidate for stem cell therapy for joints is someone who suffers from a painful cartilage injury from overuse, trauma, or debilitating conditions, including degenerative arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or osteoarthritis. thriveMD’s autologous adult stem cell therapy can also be beneficial for patients suffering from tendonitis and ligamentous injuries, or from a slow-healing or non-union fracture.
How much does stem cell therapy cost?
Pricing depends on your individual treatment plan and will be determined with your provider. Financing is available through Cherry. Please contact us to schedule an appointment to discuss stem cell therapy rates.
Does stem cell therapy really work for joint pain?
Yes! In fact, approximately 65% of thriveMD’s new patients are referrals from satisfied existing patients.
While much of the early work in this field has been devoted to chronic injuries, we are also seeing dramatic improvement in recovery times for acute and sub-acute injuries. These can include: bones (e.g. Non-Displaced Tibial Plateau, Humoral Head, Ankle, Wrist), and cartilage (e.g. Radial Meniscal tears and other meniscus injuries of the knee, traumatized joint surfaces). We have seen active Coloradans and other patients return to activity much more rapidly with greatly decreased pain and improved mobility following early intervention for the acute and sub-acute injuries.
How are stem cells harvested?
Although some areas of the body produce fewer naturally occurring stem cells, others have an abundance. At thriveMD, we extract stem cells from adipose (fat) tissue, as well as bone marrow. We then combine the aspirated stem cells with platelet-rich plasma to form a concentrated biologic solution rich in stem cells, growth factors, and cytokines, and inject the regenerative solution into the damaged areas in need of repair.
Are stem cells dangerous?
Because stem cells used in stem cell therapy to treat hip pain, joint pain, or soft tissue issues are autologous (meaning they are taken from a patient’s own body and not from a donor), they are safe, posing no risk for rejection by offering a minimally invasive means for your body to potentially heal itself.
What is thriveMD’s method for stem cell regeneration?
Whether the damaged area is the result of a traumatic sports injury or the product of daily “wear and tear” (osteoarthritis), stem cell therapy for joints and soft tissue may offer a powerful solution to resolving the ongoing discomfort. Both long-standing and more newly acquired injuries have the potential to benefit from this state-of-the-art treatment.
thriveMD’s newest biologic treatment, Alpha 2 macroglobulin (A2M), is proving to be an excellent complimentary treatment to our regenerative stem cell procedures. Scientific evidence points to A2M being the key to stopping arthritis at the molecular level. A2M is a Broad Spectrum Multi-Purpose Protease Inhibitor that captures and inactivates the three major chemicals that lead to joint breakdown and cartilage damage.
By combining A2M to our current stem cell therapies, we are capable of not only building new soft tissue, cartilage and tendon, but also halting the degenerative arthritic process and further protecting the treated joint.
How does A2M at thriveMD work?
We use adipose-derived stem cells, which are harvested from the patient’s abdominal fat reserves – our body’s richest source of mesenchymal adult stem cells. We also harvest stem cells from bone marrow to provide an additional cornucopia of regenerative cells. Although bone marrow has up to 1,000 times fewer stem cells per volume than fat, its unique growth factors and significant hematopoietic cells additional help to drive tissue regeneration.
By utilizing this combination of biologic solutions, we maximize the healing potential from an autologous stem cell procedure. Once we have isolated the specific stem cells, they are then injected into the specific area of damage using real-time x-ray (fluoroscopic) or ultrasound guidance. At this time, we also introduce a PRP injection (Platelet-Rich Plasma) to further the growth and differentiation of these cells. Once there, these regenerative cells have the potential to dramatically reduce inflammation, encourage new vascularity, and stimulate the body to repair and replace tissue that has deteriorated over time or been traumatized from injury or overuse.
Four weeks after the initial stem cell injection, a second injection of PRP or bone marrow concentrate is performed to enhance the regenerative process.
Hip Stem Cell Therapy Frequently Asked Questions
Take the first step toward feeling your best.
How important is the hip joint?
The hip is one of the body’s largest and most powerful joints, simultaneously withstanding our body’s weight while offering a range of motion that is only surpassed by the shoulder joint. Its ruggedness and durability, however, do not make the hip any less susceptible to the effects of trauma, disease, and/or chronic overuse. Indeed, the fact that it is habitually stressed by repetitive movement means the hip is all too frequently damaged in some way at least once during our lives. And whether caused by excessive wear and tear (such as osteoarthritis, one of the most common causes of hip pain), a physical health issue (such as a pinched nerve, infection, or cancer) or a traumatic injury (such as a sprain or fracture), hip pain can have severe consequences, limiting daily activity, affecting quality of sleep, precipitating physical deformity, and even triggering episodes of depression for the millions of its worldwide sufferers.
How does stem cell therapy for hip pain help?
Stem cells are unique cells within the body that have the capacity to stimulate cell growth and our body’s natural healing processes. During the early stages of our embryonic development, stem cells control the differentiation of our body’s tissues and organ systems. In our adult bodies, some types of stem cells remain in various tissues, directing the repair and/or regeneration of cells that have decayed or become damaged. Unfortunately, many areas of the body — like the hip — just don’t have enough stem cells and/or adequate blood supply to facilitate the full regeneration of tissue in this way.
As a result, scientists became interested in finding ways to stimulate the proliferation of stem cells within the body so that tissue regeneration could occur naturally, repairing damage and disease without invasive procedures or chemical solutions. For issues causing hip pain, stem cells have the potential to help reduce inflammation, as well as regenerate damaged tissue, thereby relieving the patients’ pain and helping them avoid medication(s), extensive conditioning exercises, and/or surgery. In instances where previous treatments have already occurred, stem cells have also been shown to significantly speed up the recovery process.
What are the advantages of a hip stem cell injection?
Because a stem cell injection for hip pain is a minimally invasive procedure completed in an office-based procedure suite, many of the risks associated with major surgery are significantly reduced, such as infections, bleeding, blood clots, and nerve injuries. Furthermore, the recovery time is significantly reduced, enabling patients to return to normal or near-normal activity much sooner than they would following surgical or even physical conditioning treatments. A hip stem cell injection is also the only treatment option capable of possibly promoting tissue regeneration within the hip joint; traditional treatments only treat pain symptoms and do little to facilitate the natural repair of hip cartilage.
Are stem cells an alternative to joint or hip replacement surgery?
Yes. Stem cell therapy for joint and soft tissue repair is a minimally invasive approach that has helped many patients avoid the difficulties and risks associated with joint replacement surgery, including arthritis, which is a common long-term complication of ACL surgical repairs.
Many people put off joint replacement surgery as long as they can because they dread the long and painful recovery, even if the constant pain keeps them thinking about it. Others worry about the potential for infection, increased heart attack risk following a joint replacement procedure, surgical complications, and the limited life span of artificial knees, hips, and other artificial joints. Patients are often told that they are “bone on bone” and that their only viable treatment strategy is a joint replacement surgery.
thriveMD offers an alternative solution for patients who have been given a “bone on bone” diagnosis from other physicians, but are still excellent candidates for regenerative stem cell treatment.
How does stem cell therapy treat hip pain?
Stem cell therapy for the hip joint works by potentially stimulating cellular growth within damaged tissue structures. This can aid local tissue repair, since many stem cells release paracrine signals that work to reduce inflammation and cell death, speed healing, and contribute to improved tissue regeneration in damaged cartilage, such as the intra-articular cartilage and labrum.
Specifically, growth factors (called cytokines) present in the PRP and bone marrow concentrate within the stem cell aspirate aid in cellular communication, accelerating wound healing by improving blood supply and providing a scaffolding of fibrin on which stem cells can attach and more easily form new tissue. The result: the regeneration of cartilage within the hip joint and subsequent lessening of hip pain.
Can I treat hip pain without surgery or stem cell therapy?
Of course, there are non-surgical options for treating hip pain. In addition to stem cell therapy, patients can choose to rest, take medication (including over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen, aspirin and acetaminophen, and prescribed opioids/narcotics/muscle relaxants; topical creams; steroid injections; and even antidepressants. They may also undergo physical therapy in an attempt to strengthen surrounding muscles, tendons, and ligaments, providing stability to the hip joint. While any of these could help alleviate hip pain to a degree, none of them offer the same potential advantages that stem cell therapy does: the ability to regenerate cartilaginous hip tissue naturally
What’s the difference between stem cell therapy and a hip replacement?
Like numerous patients with knee issues who are told they need invasive surgical intervention in order to alleviate their pain, many hip pain sufferers can instead consider regenerative procedures like stem cell therapy as a way to avoid surgery and its accompanying risks and complications.
Here’s a quick comparison of stem cell therapy for hip pain and hip replacement surgery:
Stem Cell Therapy | Hip Replacement Surgery |
Outpatient Procedure | Often Requires a Hospital Stay |
Minimally Invasive with No Incisions | Major Surgical Procedure with Risk of Complications Such As Infections, Bleeding, Blood Clots, and Nerve Injuries |
1-2 Day Recovery at Home | 1-2 Day Recovery in the Hospital, Weeks at Home |
Return to Normal Activity Usually within 6 Weeks | Return to Normal Activity Usually within 10 Weeks to 12 Months |
Artificial Implant | |
Results Potentially Last a Lifetime | Average 15-25 Year Lifespan of Artificial Hip Replacement Devices |
What’s the average hip stem cell therapy recovery time?
Recovery following a stem cell procedure for hip pain is significantly shorter than that of most surgical interventions. Our patients at thriveMD, for example, usually walk out of our office with little or no assistance following their hip stem cell procedure. Many return to work within 1-2 days and resume normal activities within 4-6 weeks. As early as six months post-op, a majority are significantly better with dramatically improved range of motion in the treated hip. When PRP boosters are applied, the results are often further enhanced.
Can stem cell therapy treat hip arthritis?
Yes! Hip arthritis is one of the leading causes of hip pain worldwide and involves the wearing away of the cartilage between the bones of the hip joint. It can affect anyone, but certain factors increase an individual’s risk of having hip arthritis such as being older, female, overweight, and/or having bone deformities or certain diseases. Furthermore, hip arthritis can run in families, with repeated stress or injury to a joint further increasing any person’s overall risk.
Stem cells help treat hip arthritis by expressing anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and anti-fibrotic signals that consequently produce an environment that is conducive to tissue regeneration and wound healing. It’s also believed that stem cells have the potential to alter further tissue degeneration.
How does stem cell therapy for hip labral tears work?
Stem cell therapy offers great hope for patients with hip labral tears. A hip labral tear occurs when the labrum, the ring of cartilage around the hip joint socket that provides stability to the joint, suffers a tear. Athletes are particularly prone to hip labral tears, as are people with hip deformities resulting from genetic conditions and/or disease.
Arthroscopic surgery is often recommended for tears that haven’t improved with rest or physical therapy and involves the surgical removal of areas of the labrum. Such removal, however, often negatively affects overall hip stability, leaving a patient especially vulnerable to additional injury and/or the worsening of arthritic hip issues. A better alternative to surgery can be to use stem cells to help regenerate and repair labral tissue. Research shows that stem cells injected into a labral tear can also help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve overall function.
Stem Cell Knee Therapy Frequently Asked Questions
Take the first step toward feeling your best.
Are stem cells for knees effective?
Yes, for patients who qualify for stem cell procedures for knees. Your doctor will evaluate whether you are a candidate for a stem cell procedure by discussing the circumstances of your injury, examining the painful knee, and reviewing the appropriate imaging during your consultation. Once the doctor has a thorough understanding of your injury, they can then make treatment recommendations specific to your case.
There are numerous research studies that demonstrate significant improvement in knee pain and cartilage quality following stem cell therapy, as well as many ongoing studies continuing to evaluate the benefits from these procedures. A pilot study evaluating the use of adult stem cells for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis utilized MRI data as well as pain relief to evaluate treatment effectiveness.
This study demonstrated that stem cell knee treatment is less invasive than traditional surgery, can be performed as an outpatient procedure, and provides not only pain relief, but also improves cartilage quality. The experience of our Colorado patients who have suffered from severe knee pain have demonstrated results consistent with the research findings on stem cells for knees.
Stem cell therapy may have the potential to be an effective knee pain treatment option with long-term symptom relief. It’s important to have an experienced stem cell physician determine whether you are a candidate and to set appropriate expectations.
Is stem cell therapy a good alternative for knee surgery?
Stem cell therapy is not only an excellent knee replacement surgery alternative, but can provide a great option to avoid arthroscopic surgery for injuries such as meniscus tears and partial ACL tears. By utilizing stem cells for knees to repair a partially torn ACL, the ligament can heal to become just as strong as the original ligament.
By maintaining the original placement of the ligament and restoring the natural motion of the joint, the stem cell procedure lowers the risk of future arthritic changes that are so prevalent following a full ligament replacement.
How does stem cell therapy for knees provide relief?
Stem cells are the construction workers of the body’s repair mechanism. Their primary role is to maintain healthy tissue and initiate the healing of damaged tissue by replenishing dying or damaged cells. When injected into your knee, stem cells find the damaged cartilage and have the potential to initiate its repair or regeneration.
Stem cell repair is the primary healing mechanism present in the body, a natural process takes place in every tissue in our bodies. In tissues, such as knee joint cartilage and the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), there is limited blood supply. This limited blood supply prevents adequate delivery of stem cells to the damaged tissue to initiate the body’s natural healing mechanism.
The delivery of a large volume of stem cells by injection can help initiate the healing response to repair degenerative knee cartilage and partially torn tendons, and provide pain relief when conservative treatments had been unsuccessful.
What can I expect during stem cell procedures for knees?
Stem cell therapy for the treatment of knee pain is minimally invasive and takes about 3 hours, with patients able to walk out of the office on their own following treatment.
To start, stem cells are harvested from your abdominal or “love handle” fat using high-tech, minimally invasive liposuction equipment. Stem cells from your bone marrow are also utilized, harvested using a specially designed, low-trauma needle that is placed into the posterior iliac crest under live x-ray guidance. Mild IV sedation, in combination with local anesthetic, is used to provide comfort during the procedure.
The harvested cells are then prepared for injection using an advanced separation and centrifugation process.
With the use of live x-ray guidance, the cells and growth factors are injected into the affected knee joint under sterile conditions. Our regenerative experts’ extensive experience with knee joint stem cell injections, along with the aid of the appropriate image guidance, ensures the cells are reaching their targeted area so you have the best chance for improvement.
To complement the high stem cell count achieved with the use of adipose derived stem cells, we often utilize PRP, A2M, and placental-derived growth factors during our knee procedures and follow-up treatments.
How much does stem cell therapy for knees cost?
Pricing depends on your individual treatment plan and will be determined with your provider. Financing is available through Cherry. Please contact us to schedule an appointment to discuss stem cell therapy rates.
Where are stem cells for knees harvested?
At thriveMD, we utilize autologous, adult stem cells in the treatment of damaged knees. The cells are harvested from your own body at the time of your outpatient procedure. Adult stem cells are found in the highest concentration in adipose (fat) tissue. In smaller concentrations, they are also harvested from bone marrow.
Our stem cell process utilizes fat as the primary stem cell source. Bone marrow concentrate is also utilized as an additional source of stem cells for knees, but it’s primarily used for its rich content of growth factors that aid in the repair mechanism. For further details, please review our post on fat vs bone marrow for cartilage regeneration.
Are stem cell injections for knee issues effective for any type of knee problem?
As groundbreaking as stem cell therapy is for the treatment of knee pain, it’s certainly not the answer to every degenerative knee condition. It’s crucial, as a patient, to understand the indications for stem cell therapy.
Knee pain due to severely asymmetric degeneration is an example of a condition that typically will not respond well to stem cell therapy. Similarly, stem cell treatments may have the potential to heal a partially torn ACL, but is not the treatment of choice for a completely torn ACL.
thriveMD puts an emphasis on educating our potential patients to help them to make a well-informed treatment decision. Learn more about stem cell misconceptions in our article about 10 Stem Cell Myths.
Is stem cell therapy effective for knee sports injuries?
Yes! There have been numerous professional athletes that have benefited in recent years from advanced regenerative therapies for orthopedic pain, such as Jack Nicklaus, professional golf’s most prolific major winner, who has undergone stem cell injections into his lumbar spinal facet joints. Cristiano Ronaldo and Kobe Bryant are also reported to have undergone successful stem cell procedures for their knees.
Another well-known athletic superstar, Rafael Nadal, has also undergone fat-derived stem cell procedures on two occasions. After a successful procedure for his ailing knee, Nadal returned to highly competitive tennis, logging several more major wins. When he developed facet dysfunction in his lumbar spine, he was able to quickly return to playing form, once again, following stem cell treatment.
The very same procedures that these legends have undergone are not just available to professional athletes. These ortho-biologic procedures are allowing aging athletes and weekend warriors alike to continue comfortably enjoying their passions without having to undergo the potential complications and downtime of invasive surgery.
How does radiofrequency lesioning treat knee pain or facet joint pain?
The spinal facet joints and the knee, similar to many areas in the body, contain sensory nerves that are very active in certain pain conditions. These sensory nerves can be temporarily destroyed using a very precise thermal lesion delivered by a Radiofrequency (RF) current though a special insulated needle.
RF currently is the safest form of delivering a heat lesion due to the fact that the lesion will remain the same size regardless of the heating duration. Using real time X-ray guidance to define the location, a segment of the targeted nerve is cauterized with careful attention to avoid any nearby motor nerves or vascular structures. Once the sensory nerves have been taken out of commission, there is often dramatic improvements in pain, and blood flow. In addition, surrounding muscles begin to show improved function and loss of atrophy as the inhibitory pain sensations subside.
This procedure can be utilized in conjunction with a stem cell injection to help diminish pain, improve blood flow, and expedite healing. The radiofrequency procedure can even be employed as a standalone pain relief procedure for patients who have ongoing pain and do not want to undergo a major invasive surgery, such as a knee replacement.
The procedure can also be an excellent means of providing postoperative relief in patients with ongoing pain despite having already undergone surgical repair.
Shoulder Stem Cell Therapy Frequently Asked Questions
Take the first step toward feeling your best.
What is a rotator cuff?
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that connect the upper arm bone firmly to the shoulder blade. This combination of muscles, tendons and bones creates the greatest range of motion of any joint in the body. A typical rotator cuff injury causes pain, stiffness, weakness, and loss of range of motion to the shoulder.
How are rotator cuff tears treated?
Complete tears often require surgical repair. Individuals who suffer partial tears to the rotator cuff, or tendonosis, on the other hand, may be excellent candidates for stem cell shoulder treatment. This procedure involves stem cell injections to treat rotator cuff tears, depending on the severity of damage to the rotator cuff tendons.
It’s important to speak with a medical professional to determine the best mode of treatment if you experience a rotator cuff tear. Accurate diagnosis of a shoulder injury is imperative to deciding on a treatment plan, and usually requires MRI examination to identify the specifics of a rotator cuff injury.
What can I expect during a stem cell therapy for shoulder pain procedure?
Stem cell therapy offers a minimally invasive option for the treatment of shoulder injuries and chronic wear and tear of the joint cartilage. Adult stem cells are harvested from your adipose (fatty) tissue and bone marrow, consolidated, and prepared for injection into the damaged areas of the shoulder. The injections are carried out under image guidance to assure that the cells are placed accurately in the specific areas of damage. Joints are injected under live x-ray guidance, while tendons are typically injected with the assistance of ultrasound.
The procedure is done in an outpatient setting, takes approximately 3 hours to perform, and does not require a general anesthetic. To learn more about how stem cell therapy for shoulder issues works and what you can expect, read this blog post about undergoing a stem cell procedure.
What’s the recovery process after a shoulder stem cell procedure?
Recovery time following a stem cell procedure for shoulder pain is dramatically shorter than most surgical recoveries. Most patients* can return to work and normal daily activity within 1-2 days after their procedure, and don’t require post-operative physical therapy. The proper time to return to sports activities depends on the severity and specific injury treated, but typically takes 4-12 weeks.
Are shoulder injuries common among athletes?
Yes, shoulder injuries are some of the most common sports-related injuries. Proper shoulder function is essential in almost every sport, and imperative in sports such as tennis, golf, basketball, and football. In 2006, 7.5 million doctors’ visits were due to shoulder problems and, of those, 4 million were due to rotator cuff issues.
