5 Myths About Stem Cell Therapies for Chronic Pain - What options do we prefer?

Published 2018-03-26
Ross Hauser, MD explains what he sees in his practice, Caring Medical, with regard to patients seeking stem cell therapy for joint pain. Often, we are asked about the single-shot stem cell therapies, including those using amniotic cells. Simply put, if the underlying joint instability is not addressed, most stem cell therapies are just not all that effective for long-term pain relief. Plus, many of the latest types advertised are a few thousand for a single injection of dead cells. If you want to know if you are a good candidate for stem cell therapy and get an opinion on the various types of stem cell options that are best for your case, we would be happy to help.

    Great Video. Ross, you make sense. Common sense. Comprehensive is the way to go. Live cells are the way to go!.

    Any stem cell treatments in Australia you know of? I’m in Sydney .
  • Thank you doctor for this information. I’m 54 and had hip resurfacing surgery on my left hip due to severe degenerative arthritis. I’ve healed well and went back to my profession which is teaching dance and practicing martial arts. My right hip has mild arthritis and because I’ve been compensating on my right side since before I got surgery on my left hip has left my right hip tight and often inflamed when I teach a lot or train a lot. Would comprehensive stem cell treatment help me?
  • @eric204
    Dr. Hauser, what is the definition of healing from a prolotherapist's perspective? Is it based on image findings i.e. MRI showing regrowth of cartilage, ligament, tendon? Is it based on clinical, i.e. patient can lift weights or run pain free, or both? What types of prolotherapy gives the best outcomes? Thank you
  • @KevinParnella
    Great candid and informative video. What is the likelihood of stem cells recovering a knee from a torn meniscus? How many shots and what would you say would be a reasonable cost estimate? Thanks!
  • I thought the greatest problem with the undifferentiated embryonic stem cells (otherwise why not just use the bone marrow instead?) that he called "from placenta", is that those are not even supposed to be able to treat anything at all, rather than the forces applied on the joint. Such cells can be used merely for study only, NEVER fro treatment- they are simply too "naive" to be able to differentiate into the needed matrix of cells bypassing at least 1 differentiating step or even more. I would assume he just unintentionally dropped a wrong term.
  • @stevethorne4978
    What are you basing the non live stem cell theory on? Have you seen viability studies from some of the bio clinics?
  • @dandiki
    For example if Flat feet is causing disblance thus leading in Chondrmalatia patella, then if you get treatment(PRP,stem cells) and healing is there, you still can cure flat feet and it will repeat it self(problem)!

  • @stevestone1138
    I’ve had three surgeries on my left knee, one micro-fracture, one scope and a patellar realignment, and have a lot of scar tissue and some degeneration of cartilage in the joint and behind my knee cap. Could stem cells or PRP help relieve some of this pain from having so much scar tissue?
  • @lekatwa2149
