A patient with joint problems inquires:
Can stem cell therapy help in case of advanced osteoarthritis?
Usually it takes 3 months until stem cell therapy of osteoarthritis shows a noticeable improvement of symptoms, that means a reduction in pain, increased mobility, as well as regeneration of cartilage. In case of advanced osteoarthritis it holds that the more advanced, the more inconvenient and the more effort has to be made to achieve regeneration. That means: More stem cells, repeated treatments, therefore higher treatment costs.
