How Much Does Stem cell therapy for knees Cost in Mexico?

The cost of stem cell therapy for knees in Mexico typically ranges from $2,000 to $2,500. Prices vary depending on the clinic, the doctor’s expertise, the number of injections, and whether advanced cell processing methods are used. In the United States, the average price is $14,000 (per AAOS). This means stem cell therapy for knees in Mexico can be about 84% less than in the U.S.

Mexican clinics usually include the initial consultation, stem cell harvesting (from bone marrow or fat), cell processing, image-guided knee injections, and basic post-procedure follow-up. In the U.S., the base price often covers only the injection itself, with harvesting, lab processing, imaging, and follow-ups billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included at each clinic.

Key Benefits

It's essential to choose experienced professionals to ensure high-quality care and successful outcomes.

Stem cell therapy for knees in Mexico: Pros and Cons

Stem cell therapy for knees in Mexico can offer significant cost savings, but it's crucial to weigh the potential benefits against the risks.

Pros Cons
Lower costs. Stem cell therapy for knees in Mexico typically costs $1,950–$2,000 versus $5,000+ in the US, offering 60–70% savings. Safety concerns. Potential risks include infection (1–2%) and mild post-injection swelling. These risks are similar to those in the US when performed by qualified professionals.
Qualified specialists. Regenerative medicine doctors are certified by national boards and often have 9–10 years of experience, with some trained in the US or Europe. Follow-up care. Ongoing monitoring may be challenging after returning home. However, clinics often provide telemedicine follow-up and post-op instructions.
Modern facilities. Clinics in Tijuana and Guadalajara are ISO 9001 certified, use advanced equipment, and follow international safety protocols. Different regulatory standards. COFEPRIS standards differ from the FDA, but leading clinics meet ISO and JCI benchmarks, reducing regulatory gaps.
Minimally invasive and faster recovery. Stem cell injections require only a short stay (1–3 days) and have less downtime than knee replacement surgery. Variable results. Outcomes depend on patient age and severity of joint damage. Improvement rates range from 60–80% according to published studies.
Personal coordinator support. Bookimed’s medical coordinator helps compare clinics, request personalized quotes, and manage treatment logistics at no additional cost.

It's crucial to thoroughly research clinics and verify surgeon credentials before making a decision. When performed by qualified specialists in accredited facilities, stem cell therapy for knees in Mexico can offer an innovative, cost-effective alternative to surgery.

I was very pleased with her methods and knowledge and I plan to see her again if i need further treatment
Dr. Isabella Bernaschina was very interested in truly helping me. She was very efficient and she has considerable experience in the use of stem cells for many different conditions. She believes in what she is doing and has used stem cells herself in the past. She also lives a very healthy lifestyle and encourages a healthy lifestyle to gain the most benefit from treatment. She simply practices what she preaches and she has a long history using stem cells and other modalities to benefit the health of her patients. I was very pleased with her methods and knowledge and I plan to see her again if i need further treatment. I could not ask for more dedicated attention. She followed up after treatment to see how i was feeling and seemed to sincerely care about how I felt after treatment.
About Bookimed service
Bookimed was very easy to work with and checked with me numerous times to be sure i was happy with the treatment scheduled and the details of travel to the clinic from the US. They checked on me more than once and right before my travel to Mexico for treatment. They checked on my travel and abominations and seemed to be sincerely interested if I was satisfied with all aspects of the travel and treatment.

Mrs Bernaschia is empathetic and competent
I am pleased to be in a helping relationship with Anna from Bookimed. Our discussions lasted several months and she was always very accommodating and generous with her time. As for the rest of the treatment with Juventa, everything went according to plan. On the first day, I received 125 million cells and 6 billion exosomes in the IV (as planned), and 25 million in the joint of my thumb, which was full of osteoarthritis. On the second day, I received IV NAD and a subcutaneous placenta implant. Mrs Bernaschia is empathetic and competent. The work was carried out in a relational, professional and respectful manner.
The interpersonal skills of everyone involved.
The surprise of being "treated" at "home". I hadn't understood this part of the medical journey.
About Bookimed service
Bookimed is a professional service. With Anna from Bookimed, I received all the information I needed to make the best possible decision. I received several quotes from different clinics and was able to make an informed choice. With Bookimed, I felt protected against possible scams on the web. I was given several quotes and was able to negotiate with Anna, your representative, to get the best value for money.
