Cartilage, Ligament and Tendon Pain
Tendon pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, overuse, or medical conditions such as tendinitis or tendinosis.
Tendinitis, also known as tendonitis, is a condition in which a tendon becomes inflamed, irritated, or swollen. Tendons are tough, flexible bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones. They are responsible for transmitting the forces generated by muscle contractions to the bones, allowing movement to occur.
Tendinitis most commonly occurs in the tendons of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, or ankle. It can be caused by overuse or repetitive motion, as well as by injury, aging, or certain medical conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or gout.
Ligament pain can be caused by injury or damage to one or more ligaments in the body. Ligaments are tough, fibrous tissues that connect bones to other bones and provide stability to joints. They are responsible for limiting the range of motion of a joint and preventing excessive movement that could cause injury.
Symptoms of ligament pain may include pain, tenderness, swelling, and stiffness in the affected area. The pain may be worse during movement or activity, and may improve with rest. In severe cases, ligament pain can lead to a partial or complete tear of the affected ligament.
Symptoms of tendinitis may include pain, tenderness, swelling, and stiffness in the affected area. The pain may be worse during movement or activity, and may improve with rest. In severe cases, tendinitis can lead to a partial or complete tear of the affected tendon.

Regenerative Treatments
How Does It Work?
Stem cells are special cells that have the ability to develop into different types of cells in the body, such as muscle, bone, and cartilage cells. By harvesting these cells from the patient’s own bone marrow, they can be injected into the damaged area to promote healing and tissue regeneration.
Cartilage and Ligament treatment in Miami
Cartilage pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, wear and tear, or medical conditions such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Cartilage is a tough, flexible tissue that covers the ends of bones in joints, allowing them to move smoothly and absorb shock.
Symptoms of cartilage pain may include pain, swelling, stiffness, and a limited range of motion in the affected joint. The pain may be worse during movement or activity, and may improve with rest.
Cartilage lesions occur when there is damage to the cartilage, which is the smooth, rubbery tissue that covers the ends of bones in a joint.
Symptoms of cartilage lesions may include pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility in the affected joint.
Treatment options for tendon, ligament, cartilage pain and lesions depend on the severity of the injury and can include regenerative treatments, physical therapy, and surgery.
Stem cell therapy is an emerging treatment option for tendon, ligament, cartilage pain and lesions. Stem cells are cells that have the potential to differentiate into many different types of cells, including tendon, ligament, and cartilage cells.
Stem cell therapy involves injecting stem cells directly into the injured area in order to promote the growth of new tissue and cartilage.
There are different types of stem cells that can be used for this purpose, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).
In Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy for tendon, ligament, cartilage pain and lesions, the stem cells are harvested from the patient’s bone marrow, concentrated, injected into the joint and then stimulated to differentiate into new tendon, ligament, and/or cartilage cells. This helps to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation and pain in the area treated and improve joint function.
Types of Stem Cells :
Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs)
Found in early-stage embryos. Super powerful, can become any cell in the body. They are not typically used in modern clinical settings in the U.S. We don’t offer treatments using ESCs.
Adult Stem Cells (ASCs)
Found in tissues like bone marrow and fat. Their job is to maintain and repair the tissue they come from. These are what we mostly use in regenerative medicine. We do offer treatments using ASCs.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)
This is the type A subtype of adult stem cells found in bone marrow, fat, and umbilical cords. They're amazing at reducing inflammation, modulating the immune system, and helping damaged tissue heal. We do offer treatments using MSCs.
Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs)
Regular adult cells that scientists “reprogram” to act like embryonic stem cells. Big in research, not widely used yet in clinical care. We do not work with iPSCs.

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.
