What actually happens, step by step
No mystery. No fluff. Here’s exactly what your stem cell visit looks like — from check-in to long-term healing.
Check-in & Prep
Comfort-first room. Vitals and final consent. Your Wharton’s Jelly allograft is verified and prepared by our team.
Targeted Injection or IV
Kayla delivers the cells either directly into the joint, tendon, or injured area — or systemically via IV — depending on the protocol designed for your case.
Recovery & Home Prep
Brief monitored recovery, then you walk out with simple post-procedure instructions. Most patients drive themselves home.
Long-Term Healing
Tissue remodeling continues for months. Most patients feel meaningful improvement in 6–12 weeks, with continued gains out to a year.
If stem cell isn’t the right tool, here’s what is
Sometimes stem cell is the perfect fit. Sometimes we layer it with PRP, A2M, exosomes, or shockwave. Kayla picks the right tool for your case — never one-size-fits-all.
PRP Therapy
Your own blood’s platelets and growth factors. Best for tendon & ligament injuries — rotator cuff, tennis elbow, partial ACL.

A2M Therapy
Alpha-2-Macroglobulin — your body’s built-in cartilage-protector. Pairs perfectly with stem cell for osteoarthritis.

Exosome Therapy
Cellular messengers that amplify your body’s repair signals — often layered with stem cell for chronic, slow-healing injuries.

Shockwave (SoftWave)
Acoustic wave therapy that primes the injection site before stem cell — bringing fresh blood flow to where the cells land.

Stem Cell Therapy — cost, safety, and how we're different
The questions patients comparing us to Mexico, Panama, or the Cayman Islands ask most before they book.
Why $3,797 for the umbilical cord allograft?
That price reflects a single-joint dose of an FDA-registered, US-lab-sourced biologic with batch testing you can read, plus the in-clinic procedure, image guidance when needed, and follow-up. International "stem cell tourism" clinics often quote $15,000–$40,000 once you add flights, lodging, and travel risk. Our pricing is published, written at consult, no surprise add-ons.
Is the stem cell biologic FDA-cleared?
The PRP centrifuge and prep kit we use are FDA 510(k)-cleared medical devices for preparing platelet-rich plasma from your own blood. The umbilical cord tissue allograft (also called stem cell therapy here so patients recognize the product) is sourced from a US-based tissue supplier; the FDA has not approved any injectable umbilical cord product for orthopedic indications, and its application in our clinic is performed under the practice of medicine. We discuss the regulatory status of each biologic openly at your consult.
How is your stem cell different from Mexico clinics?
Three differences: chain of custody (US-licensed lab, batch records), dose transparency (you see the documentation), and accountability (we're 10 minutes from your house, not 1,800 miles away). No plane recovery, no missing-records risk, no language barrier on follow-up.
How fast will I see results from stem cell therapy?
Earliest responders report feeling a difference at 4–6 weeks. Patient-reported changes — less morning stiffness, easier daily function — typically build over 3–9 months. When re-imaging is clinically indicated we order it. Individual results vary and structural outcomes are not guaranteed.
Is the stem cell injection painful?
About on par with a normal joint injection. The biologic is delivered into the joint capsule (or tendon, depending on the target) under image guidance. Most patients walk out and drive home the same day. Mild soreness for 1–3 days is normal — that's the signaling cascade starting.
Who is NOT a candidate?
Active joint infection, certain blood cancers, or bone-on-bone joints with no remaining structure to repair. We screen with imaging at the consult and tell you honestly. If we don't think you'll benefit, we'll tell you that day and point you to the right care — surgical or otherwise.
