The Regenerative Centers’ orthopedic stem cell protocols offer a safe and effective alternative to hip replacement surgery and to treat degenerative hip conditions, injuries & arthritis. Our non-surgical stem cell-based treatment is a true breakthrough for millions of men and women needlessly suffering from chronic hip pain due to a variety of reasons, such as:
- Avascular necrosis
- Autoimmune Rheumatoid arthritis and Hip Osteoarthritis
- Osteonecrosis
- Hip injuries related to sports
- Hip bursitis
- Hip joint degeneration
- Hip disease due to ankylosing spondylitis
- Tendinopathy due to injury or Lupus
- Labral tears and/or labrum tears
Safe Alternative to Hip Surgery in 2024
Our hip and shoulder stem cell therapies are combined with enriched blood PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and growth factors to allow an effective and 100% non-surgical solution for our patients with cartilage damage, DDD, Spinal Injuries, moderate femoral nerve pain or who may be considering hip replacement surgery or hip resurfacing to try to resolve the chronic hip pain.[1] Our treatment protocol is ideal for mild and moderate cases of ligament cartilage damage and for those who want to regenerate/reverse hip problems without surgery using enriched lab concentrated mesenchymal cell injections using the patient’s stem cells (autologous – for mild conditions ) or immunosystem matched allogeneic stem cells ( for moderate to severe conditions.) This unique protocol allows our orthopedic stem cell doctors to target the problem at the root and treat it using enriched tissue manipulation techniques that will enable treated arthritic knees and hips to heal themselves without the need for invasive surgery naturally.[2]
Treat Hip Joint Injury & Repair AVN
Hip surgeries such as replacement and resurfacing are typically very invasive procedures and often lead to months of discomfort and pain post-surgery, especially during rehabilitation needed to redevelop the patients’ strength and increase the mobility of the hip socket joint and joint spaces that have been disrupted in cases with mild osteoarthritis.[3]
Repair damage to injured tissue with Stem Cells
Our orthopedic stem cell hip treatment works by targeting the areas of arthritis or injury with both clinical-grade stem cells and ( PrP ) platelet-rich plasma. The cultured stem cells and paracrine cell signaling act as biological seeds, with tissue-specific growth factors that act as fertilizers to fortify the cells and help quickly heal the areas of injury. Our unique 2-week treatment course uses isolated stem cells with Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-β) growth factors, Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) which are delivered to the patient on alternative cell infusion dates via the blood circulatory system. Unlike most 1-3 day treatments, these additional steps in our treatment protocol help boost cell signals while providing essential signals and nutrients for the orthopedic stem cells to flourish for multiple life cycles. This extra step helps develop the introduced cells into new and healthy joints, tendons, and ligaments. The Regeneration Center uses a proprietary closed system for UC-MSC+ cell culturing to help trigger rapid stem cell development.
Avoid Surgery with Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine is a conservative treatment option and might not be the final answer for all patients with degenerative hip injuries and neuropathy. However, most sports medicine cases that are treated with UC-MSC+ stem cells are successful long term and help our patients improve their quality of life, avoid the pain, downtime, disability, and, most importantly, the risk that is associated with a major surgery like total hip replacement surgery. Our bone regeneration protocols are minimally invasive, and very little recovery time is needed after treatment. Most patients only report slight soreness in the treated areas with minimal bruising for 24-48 hours post-therapy. Our center has never had any patients experience adverse effects, as all cells are tested and certified before implantation. After the hip joint treatment, patients are encouraged to start a hip osteoarthritis diet with regular hip rehabilitation to help re-strengthen the hip joints back to proper function. Hip stem cell treatments offer a viable alternative and are very safe to try, even for severe cases. Stem cell therapies using cells from your own body can also be repeated after 6-12 months (if necessary) to achieve optimal results for people with active lifestyles. For patients with severe hip damage, stem cell treatment alone might not be sufficient. For some cases that require core decompression or severe musculoskeletal conditions, we offer a unique combination treatment that combines micro-surgery with stem cells (after surgery) and cell-specific growth factors to help expedite and normalize the healing process with faster recovery times and minimal risk of developing scarring or hip arthritis.
TREATMENT RISKS & PRECAUTIONS
Please note that not all patients are suitable candidates for treating hip injuries, hip pain, thigh conditions, or avascular necrosis (AVN) with stem cells. Patients with severe joint deterioration, advanced AVN, extensive cartilage loss, or other serious health issues might not be good candidates for treatment.Using Stem Cell Therapy for Hip Repair
Number of Cell Infusions for Hip arthritis and hip pain: 2-8 Targeted infusions of expanded Mesenchymal “UC-MSC+” Cells with tissue-specific growth factors for increasing formation of fibrocartilage fibers, growth factors & differentiated scaffolds.
Types of Stem Cells and Delivery Methods for Hip: Enhanced UC-MSC+ Mesenchymal cells & Hip regenerative therapy protocol will depend on the severity of the underlying degeneration as needed. Our cell-enriched treatments do not require any invasive surgeries. The delivery of the cells is made via radio guidance (when necessary) or, more commonly, through the combination of Intravenous Drip, direct Local injections, Intra-articular Injections, Intraosseous Injections, Intrathecal Injections (if experiencing neuropathy), Ultrasound-guided (in office) or fluoroscopy-guided stem cell delivery (in a hospital setting only).
Rehabilitation Options Post Treatment: Physical rehabilitation therapy is strongly recommended after treatment and can be done in Thailand or upon return to your home. We have optional physical rehab packages depending on your travel/time constraints. Our physical therapy and pain relief programs are available upon request for 2-3 hours per day and up to 5 days per week. Medical visas and hotel accommodations for the patient and family can also be provided upon request.
Total Treatment Length: The estimated treatment time for stem cell therapy for hip pain and degenerative hip arthritis is 10-14 days in Bangkok (depending on the severity of the underlying injury)
Looking to Relieve Hip Pain Naturally?
The Regeneration Center offers patients a cohesive & comprehensive approach to hip joint injuries that yields the most beneficial results possible without the risks of hip replacement surgeries. We have treated professional athletes to average elderly patients who needlessly suffered through decades of chronic hip joint pain. If you or a loved one is suffering from a degenerative hip condition or chronic hip pain, or if you have any difficulty standing up or walking stairs, you may be a candidate for our procedure. To learn more, please contact us today.
Cost to Treat Hip Osteoarthritis w/ Stem Cells
Due to the varying degrees of injuries, our orthopedic team must conduct a medical review of all potential patients. This can be done online using the patient’s current medical records, such as Hip MRI or CT Scan, and reports from the patient’s orthopedic doctors. Once the treatment evaluation is complete, we can know if the patient is a good candidate and provide a detailed treatment plan with total stem cell injections, including the total number of nights required and fixed medical-related costs for the entire treatment.
