What is stem cell therapy for the hip?

Stem cell therapy for the hip is a regenerative procedure that uses a patient’s own adult stem cells, often harvested from bone marrow, to support healing and reduce inflammation in damaged joint tissues.

How are stem cells obtained for this treatment?

Stem cells can be obtained from a patient’s bone marrow, typically from the pelvis, then concentrated and injected into the affected hip area to promote tissue repair and regeneration.

Who is a good candidate for hip stem cell therapy?

Good candidates are patients with degenerative joint conditions or soft tissue injuries who want to explore regenerative options, potentially delay invasive surgery, and whose overall health allows for autologous cell procedures.

What can I expect during and after the procedure?

The procedure is often outpatient and brief. Patients may experience mild discomfort for a few days, followed by a structured rehab plan. Most can resume low‑impact activity soon after, with recovery guided by their surgeon.

Are there risks associated with stem cell therapy?

Risks are generally low but can include discomfort at the injection site, swelling, or infection. Because stem cells are autologous (from the patient’s own body), risks like rejection are minimized.
