Stem cell therapy is one of the advanced regenerative treatments offered by All American Medical. Our minimally invasive procedures harness the body’s natural ability to heal and regenerate tissue, alleviating many conditions, including back and neck pain, tendonitis, and neuropathy.
What Is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cell therapy uses stem cells — cells that the body relies on to generate other types of cells — to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. At All American Medical, we specialize in two types of stem cell procedures:
Adult Stem Cell Therapy
Adult stem cell therapy, medically known as a bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) procedure, involves collecting a small sample of bone marrow from a patient. This sample is then processed to concentrate the stem cells, which are subsequently injected into the treatment area.
Wharton’s Jelly Therapy
Warton’s Jelly injections are derived from umbilical cord tissue, which is abundant in mesenchymal stem cells and growth factors.
These treatments are designed to reduce joint inflammation, encourage cartilage repair, and improve joint health.
Conditions Treated with Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy targets a wide range of conditions, especially those involving chronic pain or tissue degeneration.
Arthritis & Joint Pain
Reduces joint pain and stiffness by calming inflammation and supporting cartilage regeneration.
Tendonitis & Ligament Injuries
Accelerates recovery from overuse injuries by enhancing the body’s natural cellular repair process.
Back & Neck Pain
Relieves pressure and pain in the spine by addressing disc degeneration and inflammation.
Sports Injuries
Promotes rapid healing of soft-tissue injuries and reduces downtime for athletes.
Neuropathy
Improves nerve function and sensation, easing pain and restoring mobility.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Stimulates disc tissue regeneration and restores spinal stability to relieve chronic pain.
Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy
This therapy addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms, while minimizing downtime and risk.
- Treats the Root Cause
Unlike painkillers, it repairs damaged tissue to provide lasting relief from chronic pain. - Minimally Invasive
No scalpels, stitches, or general anesthesia—just simple outpatient injections. - Faster Recovery
Most patients can resume their daily activities within days, rather than weeks or months. - Drug-Free Relief
Reduces or eliminates the need for long-term pain medication or anti-inflammatories. - Tailored Treatment
Each plan is customized to your condition for optimal results and safety.
Is Stem Cell Therapy Right for You?
Stem cell therapy might be an effective treatment option if you can relate to any of these scenarios:
- Retirees who struggle daily with arthritis pain that limits their activities and impacts their quality of life.
- Weekend warriors who might be dealing with ongoing tendonitis or other repetitive motion injury that has hindered their performance and enjoyment of sports.
- Office workers who are experiencing severe back pain from degenerative disc disease, which affects their productivity and comfort.
- Competitive runner who recently sustained a ligament injury and wants to return to training quickly and safely.
- Diabetic patients or anyone dealing with neuropathy, which can significantly reduce their mobility and independence.
- Anyone seeking to alleviate chronic pain or recover from injuries without relying on addictive painkillers or risky surgeries.
Our dedicated team will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if stem cell therapy is suitable for your specific situation.
Alternative Regenerative Medicine Procedures
All American Medical provides a comprehensive choice of regenerative techniques and procedures that are an alternative to stem cell therapy:
- PRP Therapy: Utilizes the patient’s own platelets to promote healing.
- Shockwave Therapy: Non-invasive treatment that stimulates healing through acoustic waves.
- Physical Rehabilitation: Customized programs to strengthen muscles and improve joint function.
What to Expect from Stem Cell Therapy
Most of the stem cell treatments at All American Medical follow these steps:
- Initial Consultation: Assessment of your medical history and condition.
- Treatment Plan: Development of a personalized therapy plan.
- Procedure: Administration of the chosen stem cell therapy.
- Follow-Up: Monitoring progress and adjusting the treatment as necessary.
All procedures are performed on an outpatient basis and require minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities almost immediately.
How Long Does It Take To Work?
Since stem cell therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses a patient’s immune system to promote healing, the onset of relief varies among individuals:
- Initial Improvement: Many patients begin to notice relief within 2 to 6 weeks post-treatment.
- Continued Progress: Improvements often continue over the next 3 to 6 months, as the regenerative process unfolds.
- Long-Term Benefits: For most conditions, the effects of stem cell therapy can last from 6 to 24 months, and in some cases, even longer.
How Many Treatment Sessions Are Required?
The number of stem cell therapy sessions needed depends on the individual’s condition and response to treatment:
- Single Session: Many of our patients achieve significant relief from just one session.
- Multiple Sessions: Some conditions may require additional treatments, spaced over several months, to achieve optimal results.
Are There Any Qualifications or Requirements?
Stem cell therapy is suitable for many individuals, but certain factors may influence whether a patient can receive the treatment:
- Ideal Candidates: Individuals with chronic joint pain, osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, or degenerative disc disease who have not responded to conventional treatments.
- Potential Disqualifiers: Patients with active infections, certain types of cancer, severe anemia, or blood-related diseases may not be eligible for stem cell therapy.

Are There Any Risks Associated with Stem Cell Therapy
While stem cell therapy is generally considered safe, it’s important to be aware of potential risks:
- Variable Outcomes: Not all patients experience the same level of improvement; factors such as overall health and the severity of the condition can influence the results.
- Short-Term Side Effects: Some individuals may experience temporary side effects such as fatigue, headache, or mild fever.
- Rare Complications: In rare cases, improper administration can lead to serious complications; thus, it’s crucial to receive treatment from qualified professionals.
