What is stem cell treatment?

Stem cells are primitive cells that have the ability to self-replicate, differentiate into multiple tissues, and reduce inflammation. 

There are different ways to perform stem cell treatment. Your Throgs Neck Multi Care, P.C. provider usually naturally harvests these cells from your fat tissue, bone marrow, or blood before carefully injecting them into the target area. 

Stem cells can be successfully used to treat many types of chronic pain and degeneration. Stem cell therapy can be helpful for arthritis, knee meniscus, a torn knee ligament, and many other conditions.
