Tendinitis orTenosynovitis
Tendinitis and tenosynovitis are two closely related conditions that involve inflammation and irritation of the tendons and their protective sheaths.
Tendinitis is the inflammation of a tendon, which is a fibrous cord that connects muscle to bone. It can occur in any tendon in the body, but is most common in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle.
Tenosynovitis is the inflammation of the protective sheath that surrounds a tendon. The sheath is called the synovium, and it produces a lubricating fluid that helps the tendon move smoothly. When the synovium becomes inflamed, it can cause pain, stiffness, and swelling.
Both tendinitis and tenosynovitis are typically caused by overuse or repetitive motion, such as playing sports or working with tools that require repetitive motions. They can also be caused by injury, aging, or certain medical conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Regenerative Treatments
Using regenerative medicine treatments to treat Tendinitis and tenosynovitis
Regenerative medicine treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and stem cell therapy may be effective in treating tendinitis and tenosynovitis by promoting tissue repair and regeneration.
PRP therapy involves taking a small sample of the patient’s own blood and processing it to concentrate the platelets, growth factors, and other healing agents. The PRP is then injected into the affected area, such as the inflamed tendon or synovium, to promote healing and tissue regeneration.
Stem cell therapy involves injecting stem cells, either from the patient’s own body or from a donor, into the damaged area to promote tissue repair and regeneration. The stem cells can differentiate into different types of cells, such as tendon cells or synovial cells, depending on the needs of the damaged tissue.
How does stem cell treatment help
Tendinitis and tenosynovitis are not types of arthritis, although they can be related to arthritis in some cases. Arthritis is a general term that refers to inflammation of the joints, whereas tendinitis and tenosynovitis are specifically inflammation of the tendons and their protective sheaths. However, tendinitis and tenosynovitis can be caused by certain types of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and reactive arthritis. In these cases, the inflammation of the joints can spread to the tendons and cause tendinitis or tenosynovitis.
Regenerative treatments, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and stem cell therapy, have shown promising results in the treatment of tendinitis and tenosynovitis by promoting tissue repair and regeneration. However, it is important to note that the effectiveness of these treatments may vary depending on the severity and duration of the condition.
In general, regenerative treatments have been found to be more effective in the early stages of tendinitis and tenosynovitis, before the condition becomes chronic or severe. In contrast, arthritis is a more complex and chronic condition that may require a combination of different treatment approaches, including medications, physical therapy, and surgery.
Additionally, regenerative medicine treatments can also be combined with other therapies, such as physical therapy or rehabilitation exercises, to provide comprehensive and effective treatment for tendinitis and tenosynovitis.
It’s important to consult with us to determine if these treatments are appropriate for your individual condition and medical history.
Types of Stem Cells :
Types
What are Stem Cells?
Stem cells are your body’s raw materials basically, the building blocks for all other cells. They’re special because they can:
1. Divide and make more copies of themselves (self-renew).
2. Turn into specialized cells like muscle, bone, nerve, skin, or blood cells (differentiate).
Think of them like the body’s repair system. If you get injured or sick, stem cells can go to the area and help regenerate damaged tissue.
Stem Cell Therapy
What Are Exosomes?
Exosomes are microscopic particles (about 1/1000th the size of a cell) naturally released by cells—especially stem cells. They’re loaded with growth factors, proteins, RNA, and other signaling molecules that tell other cells what to do.
Exosomes aren’t stem cells themselves. They’re what stem cells use to communicate and activate healing in your body. You could say they’re the “brains” behind the operation, coordinating the regenerative process.
We use Umbilical Cord-Derived MSC Exosomes derived from Wharton’s Jelly in donated umbilical cords. These are the most clinically used exosomes today due to their potency, safety, and ethical sourcing. They’re young, non-immunogenic, and highly active. They are excellent for orthopedic, autoimmune, and anti-aging protocols
