Regenerative
An investigational regenerative approach that researchers are studying for its potential to support tissue repair and reduce inflammation. Results vary and are not guaranteed.
Stem cell therapy is a different way to treat chronic conditions and tissue damage. Instead of just managing symptoms, it helps repair the tissue that is damaged or diseased. The key cells used are called mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). These cells can copy themselves and turn into bone, cartilage, muscle, and other types of tissue.
MSCs mainly work by sending healing signals to surrounding cells. They release molecules that trigger your body's own repair process. These signals are thought to reduce inflammation, support new blood vessel formation, and help activate the body's own repair cells in the treated area, though effects vary and are not guaranteed.
This multi-layered approach is why stem cell therapy helps across so many different conditions. Beyond rebuilding tissue, MSCs calm the immune system, support cellular energy, and suppress harmful inflammation. The result is a real repair response, not just a temporary fix.
Stem cell therapy has shown results across four key areas that we focus on at Gold Standard Regenerative.
Researchers are studying whether MSCs may influence joint inflammation and cartilage health. Some clinical research has looked at pain outcomes, but results vary between studies and individuals, benefits are not guaranteed, and these therapies are not FDA-approved.
Researchers are studying how stem cells interact with inflamed tissue. Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, and type 1 diabetes are areas of ongoing investigation; use of stem cell therapy for these conditions is investigational and not FDA-approved.
Researchers are studying whether MSC therapy may influence systemic inflammation and related processes. Its role for conditions involving long-term inflammation is investigational, and benefits are not established.
Preclinical and early-stage research has examined whether MSCs influence nerve repair through inflammatory signalling and growth factor release. These effects are not established in humans.
A low-risk, same-day procedure performed by experts selected by Gold Standard Regenerative.
The treating provider reviews your medical history, imaging, and how severe your condition is. This helps determine if stem cell therapy is right for you and which plan will work best.
The independent clinical team chooses the right stem cell preparation for your condition and treatment area. The cells used are donor-derived from placenta tissue. They offer high cell counts, consistent quality, and same-day treatment with no harvesting procedure required from you.
The clinical team verifies the quality of the stem cell preparation before administering it. All preparations are screened for safety, tested for sterility, and certified for cell count and quality. You can ask to review the product documentation at any time.
The stem cells are injected precisely into the target area using ultrasound or imaging guidance. The procedure is outpatient. Most patients go home the same day with few activity restrictions.
Some mild soreness at the injection site is normal for the first few days. The treating provider gives you clear care instructions and follows up regularly to track your healing progress.
Not sure whether this applies to your case? Candidacy is determined by medical review of your history and imaging, not by a form. The consultation is complimentary.
See If You QualifyStem cell therapy works with your body's natural healing process. Results build up over time. This is what most patients experience.
Inflammation begins to decrease. Many patients notice some improvement in pain and start moving more easily as the healing process gets started.
Stem cells are actively repairing damaged tissue. Most patients notice real improvement in pain, activity tolerance, and overall condition during this period.
Most patients see their best results during this period. New tissue stabilizes and strengthens, and function continues to improve.
Patients who respond often describe changes persisting through this period. Durability varies considerably between individuals, and some patients see no lasting change.
Stem cell therapy is evaluated for a range of conditions including joint degeneration (knees, shoulders, hips), autoimmune conditions, neurological support, and chronic degenerative disease. Candidacy is determined through medical review — not all patients qualify.
Most visits take 1 to 2 hours from arrival to departure. The injection itself takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on how many areas are treated. No general anesthesia is used and no overnight stay is required.
All cell products are sourced from GMP-certified tissue banks with rigorous donor screening and sterility testing. Mesenchymal stem cells are considered immune-privileged, meaning they are less likely to trigger a rejection response and typically do not require tissue matching. As with any procedure, some risk remains and individual responses vary.
Most patients notice early changes within 2 to 4 weeks. Peak benefit from stem cell therapy typically comes at 3 to 6 months as cells settle in and the repair process matures. Results vary depending on condition severity and individual biology.
Costs vary based on protocol, condition severity, and the number of areas treated. Medical evaluation is required before any estimate is provided. Many patients use HSA or FSA funds. Full costs are shared openly during your consultation.
