"New hope for osteoarthritis sufferers...
You no longer have to suffer disabling joint pain."
Stem cell therapy and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections are both offered to alleviate pain and repair injury in the body’s tendons and joints, proving to be very effective in such conditions as osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, meniscus and labrum tears. Over 5 million stem cell procedures for osteoarthritis have been performed in the United States with no significant adverse effects reported.
We understand that the use of stem cells may sound complex, however, stem cell therapy is just the opposite. It is a simple procedure, performed in our office during a visit lasting approximately 90 minutes. If you have questions or would like a consultation with Dr. Wagner to learn if you are a candidate for stem cell therapy, please contact Seattle Sports and Regenerative Medicine.
