Most patients (80%) have a positive response. Like everything else in medicine, Stem Cells or Growth Factors may not help everyone. Response to regenerative therapy depends on the underlying health of the patient, their baseline level of activity, their weight, and the severity of the underlying condition.

Patients with very mild arthritis who are active usually respond better than someone with so-called bone on bone arthritis, but in our experience, even patients with advanced degrees of arthritis can benefit from regenerative therapy. In many cases, regenerative therapy has been able to delay joint replacement surgery. Our hope is that if people receive this treatment early on in the course of their arthritis, they may even be able to prevent joint replacement entirely.

We have seen many patients who were told by other clinics that they were bone on bone in an effort to scare them into having surgery performed right away when in fact their arthritis was not that severe and they responded very well to treatment.
