FAQ

What is stem cell treatment for arthritis?

Arthritis and arthrosis are the most widespread orthopedic diseases. They damage the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes the joints chronic damage. Doctors use orthopedic stem cell therapy for joints restoration.

Stem cells are the unique type of cells in human body. Stem cells are multipotent because they are the precursors of all body cells: blood, brain, bone, skin, etc. That’s why these regenerative cells can replace any damaged cell including the joints one.

Advantages of stem cell therapy for arthritis:

leads to the damaged joint tissues regeneration;
restores the immune system functioning;
normalize metabolism;
activate the production of immune cells that protect the body from an autoimmune attack.

Stem cell therapy for joints is an alternative treatment option to surgery and drug therapy.

In some cases, they cause side effects.	There are no side effects and complication risks after stem cell therapy for arthritis.

Ukraine is the only country to provide stem cell therapy for joints using fetal cells. During the therapy experts make a cells injection. After the treatment, the patients notice the pain elimination and the joints movement restoration. Stem cells replace the damaged tissues and provide the joints recovery.

The country is very popular destination for arthritis stem cell treatment among the world-renowned sportsmen. Polish experts use umbilical cord, mesenchymal (from the bone marrow) and adipose (from the fat tissue) stem cells.

Czech Republic

Experts in the Czech Republic recommend stem cell treatment for joints instead of surgical and drug therapy. They carry out stem cell treatment for arthritis using adipose-derived cells from the abdominal fat tissue. There are no contraindications for the procedure. A patient has no side effects and complications after stem cell injections for arthritis.

Types of stem cell therapy for arthritis

Stem cell therapy is divided into 2 types:

allogeneic (specialists provide a patient with donor stem cells)
autologous (doctors use patient’s own cells for the treatment).

There are 4 stem cell sources:

Fat (adipose) tissue is the primary source of stem cells. Doctors provide liposuction to get the cells. They use the cells from the abdominal tissue. The success rate of the therapy using stem cells from the fat tissue is 100%.

Umbilical cord stem cells are obtained immediately after the childbirth. 100% is the effectiveness of these cells for the child and 25% for his/her relatives in case of allogeneic stem cell procedure.

Bone marrow is the most widespread source of stem cells worldwide. Specialists treat over 100 malignant diseases (blood, neurological, immune, autoimmune, etc.) using stem cells from the bone marrow.

Fetal tissue is used as the stem cells source only in one country over the world — Ukraine. Doctors in Ukraine provide the therapy using fetal stem cells. This kind of the cells is forbidden in other countries due to religious rules. Specialists obtain the cells usually during artificial insemination "in vitro." Fetal cells use has no contraindications.
