Torn ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury) Treatment in Dream Body Clinic
About the clinic
Dream Body Clinic in Bucerias, Mexico, offers regenerative therapy for a torn ACL using mesenchymal stem cells. Diagnostics like a blood panel may cost around $300, while the complete stem cell knee treatment is around $3,500 per knee. The clinic holds COFEPRIS licensing and uses an ISO 7 clean room lab to process fresh, never-frozen cells from Wharton’s Jelly and placenta.
This non-surgical approach aims to repair the anterior cruciate ligament, meniscus, and cartilage. The clinic founder, Josh Ketner, used this method to repair his own torn ACL and meniscus. Patients undergo a five-day protocol that includes on-site imaging and injections within 24 hours of cell cultivation. This process allows the stem cells to remain active in the joint for up to one year.
Diagnostic services for ACL injuries
The clinic uses advanced imaging to determine if a patient is a candidate for stem cell therapy. These tests confirm the severity of the tear and check for contraindications like osteophytes.
- On-site open MRI. The clinic uses an Esaote S Scan for comfortable, open imaging.
- Full blood panel. This screening checks overall health before the injection.
Stem cell knee treatment protocol
The treatment involves a single intra-articular injection of 50 million mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) directly into the knee. This minimally invasive procedure serves as an alternative to traditional surgery.
- Preparation. Patients arrive on Day 1 to rest before their medical tests.
- Clinical steps. Day 2 includes the MRI and bloodwork, followed by a review and payment on Day 3.
- Treatment. The injection occurs on Day 4 using fresh cells to maximize potency.
- Recovery. Patients can fly home on Day 5, followed by two weeks of rest and a four-week physiotherapy plan.
Package inclusions
The stem cell treatment package covers the core medical needs for the procedure. Patients should plan for a minimum stay of five days in Bucerias.
