SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) Today on Fresh Living were talking about Stem Cell Therapy.

Dr. Steven Warren from Intermountain Health and Wellness joined the show to share information with Casey & Kari about what patients need to know:

Before a patient commits to having a stem cell injection the patient should:

1. That an MRI or CT of the joint has shown the destruction of the tissue and Stem cells are needed to repair the damaged tissue.

2. Confirm that they will be getting a certificate that verifies that the injection will contain, live viable stem cells and at least a cell count of 1 million for most joints in the body.

3. That the doctor has been thoroughly trained in joint injections using guided imaging injections. Such as a C-arm fluoroscopy or Ultrasound.

4. Ensure the procedure will be performed under a strict sterile environment. To reduce the risk of a joint infection.
