For millions of people in Georgia and across the country, joint pain isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a daily obstacle. Whether it’s in your knees, hips, shoulders, or ankles, chronic joint pain can disrupt every part of your life. It limits your ability to move freely, interferes with sleep, makes even simple tasks frustrating, and over time, begins to wear on your emotional health and sense of independence.
You may find yourself skipping walks, avoiding stairs, or struggling to keep up with loved ones. And if you’ve tried the traditional options—like anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), corticosteroid injections, or even surgery—you might feel like nothing truly works or like your only choices are temporary relief or invasive procedures.
But there’s a better path emerging—one that works with your body, not against it.
The process begins by collecting stem cells from your own body, typically from two sources:
These stem cells are rich in growth factors and healing properties. Once processed, they are injected directly into the painful or damaged joint under imaging guidance to ensure precise placement.
Once inside the joint, these cells go to work:
Over time, many patients experience decreased pain, increased mobility, and improved joint function—without the risks or downtime of surgery.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we use stem cell therapy to treat a variety of joints affected by arthritis, injury, or wear-and-tear. Common treatment areas include:
We use autologous cells—which means your own stem cells, not donor or lab-grown cells. This greatly reduces the risk of rejection or complications. The procedure complies with current FDA guidelines, as it involves minimally manipulated, same-day processed cells that are used solely for orthopedic applications within your own body.
At Medici, your safety is our top priority, and we follow rigorous standards to ensure every treatment is as effective and risk-free as possible.
One of the most common reasons people seek stem cell therapy, osteoarthritis causes the cartilage in joints to wear down over time. Stem cells help by reducing inflammation and stimulating cartilage regeneration, which may delay or even prevent the need for joint replacement surgery.
These are common in active individuals and athletes, especially in the knee joint. Stem cells can support the healing of torn or degenerated meniscus and cartilage tissues, helping patients avoid surgery and return to activity faster.
Chronic inflammation of tendons or bursae can cause persistent joint pain and stiffness. Stem cell therapy helps to calm the inflammation and promote natural tissue repair, particularly in joints like the shoulder, hip, and elbow.
The labrum is a ring of cartilage that stabilizes ball-and-socket joints. Tears here can cause catching, pain, and limited range of motion. Stem cells may help repair the damaged tissue and restore function without surgical intervention.
Partial tears or degeneration of the rotator cuff are a common cause of shoulder pain. Stem cell injections can support tendon healing and reduce inflammation, making this a strong option for patients hoping to avoid surgery.
Whether due to sports, overuse, or aging, ligament damage in joints like the knee or ankle can cause ongoing instability. Stem cells can aid in the regeneration of these tough connective tissues, helping restore joint stability.
If you're starting to notice stiffness, swelling, or occasional pain in your joints, it may be an early sign of degeneration. Stem cell therapy works best before damage becomes severe, making it an ideal option for early intervention.
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation at one of our clinics in Kennesaw, Snellville, Buckhead, or Marietta. During this visit, we will:
This thorough evaluation helps us determine if stem cell therapy is appropriate for your condition and ensures we create a plan tailored to your needs.
Once you’re approved for treatment, we collect your stem cells from one of two natural sources:
The harvesting procedure is done in our outpatient setting under local anesthetic—you’ll remain awake, and it typically takes less than an hour. Because we use your own (autologous) cells, the risk of rejection or reaction is extremely low.
After the stem cells are collected, they are processed in-house to concentrate the most potent healing components. We then inject the stem cell solution directly into the targeted joint using image-guided precision (ultrasound or fluoroscopy).
In many cases, we combine this with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to enhance healing and inflammation control—a proven synergistic combination in regenerative medicine.
Stem cell therapy offers a quicker, easier recovery than surgical options:
Our team follows up with you closely to track healing, guide rehab (if needed), and adjust your care plan for optimal results.
Stem cell therapy is performed as a simple outpatient procedure, requiring no hospital stay, no general anesthesia, and no surgical incisions. Because it uses your own body’s cells, it’s a natural way to encourage healing—without introducing foreign substances.
Stem cells have powerful anti-inflammatory properties, helping calm the chronic swelling that contributes to joint stiffness, tenderness, and reduced mobility. Most patients experience a noticeable reduction in pain over several weeks.
Unlike medications that merely mask pain, stem cell therapy helps repair damaged cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and joint tissue. The goal isn’t just temporary relief—it’s true recovery from within.
By improving joint function and reducing pain early, stem cell therapy may help you avoid more invasive procedures, such as joint replacement surgery. It’s a smart, proactive option—especially for patients who aren’t ready or eligible for surgery.
Since we use autologous stem cells (meaning they come from your own body), there is virtually no risk of rejection or allergic reaction. This makes the procedure both safe and well-tolerated by most patients.
Stem cell therapy is a repeatable treatment, meaning you can undergo future sessions if your symptoms return or if further healing support is needed. It fits into a long-term wellness strategy without depleting options.
By reducing inflammation, improving tissue quality, and supporting joint biomechanics, stem cell therapy doesn’t just manage your pain—it helps protect your joint’s long-term health and mobility.
Chronic joint pain doesn't have to be your new normal. Whether it's preventing you from taking daily walks, keeping up with your kids, working comfortably, or simply enjoying life—you deserve a solution that helps you heal, not just cope.
Stem cell therapy is offering patients across Georgia a new way to walk, work, and play again—naturally and safely. It’s not just a quick fix. It’s a forward-thinking, minimally invasive approach that helps your body restore and rebuild, rather than relying on pain pills or premature surgery.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we’re proud to bring this advanced therapy to you—with expert care, precision, and compassion.
Don’t wait until surgery is your only option. Let’s explore a better path—one that helps you regain your stride and restore your quality of life.
