Before your body had bones, joints, muscles, or organs, it began with cells that could develop into specialized tissues and help shape the structures that make up the body. That is what makes stem cells so important in regenerative medicine.
When hip pain becomes chronic, the pain itself is only part of the picture. Changes may also be happening in and around the joint involving cartilage, inflammation, surrounding tissues, and overall hip function.
Changes in joint cartilage that can cause pain and stiffness.
Damage to the cartilage ring surrounding the hip socket.
Abnormal contact between the hip bones during movement.
Irritation in the soft tissues around the hip.
Bone damage caused by reduced blood supply.
Pain originating in the lower back or nearby structures.
In a pilot study analyzing 16 patients with 18 treated hips, participants reported improvements in pain and hip function over six months after one bone marrow concentrate injection.
Study context:Small case series with no comparison group; the findings are preliminary.
Lower patient-reported pain scores at follow-up.
Improved hip-specific function scores.
Better activities-of-daily-living scores.
Improvement across pain, stiffness, and physical function measures.

Founder, Miami Stem Cell
Depending on the treatment being considered, options may involve cells from your own body, such as bone marrow, or biologic material derived from donated umbilical cord tissue. Your physician should explain exactly what is being used and why.
That depends on your diagnosis, severity of joint changes, overall health, what you have already tried, and what you want to get back to doing. The physician evaluates those factors before making a recommendation.
Patients commonly seek evaluation for hip osteoarthritis, chronic hip pain, cartilage wear, degenerative joint changes, and symptoms that have continued despite conservative treatment.
It varies from patient to patient. Both published research and our experience with patients show that improvements can continue for months after treatment, with some studies reporting benefits through 12 months and beyond.
Many of our patients return to everyday activity relatively quickly, while golf, pickleball, running, or more demanding exercise may require a more gradual return. Your physician will guide you based on your hip and the treatment performed.
Some of our patients are treated once, while others may benefit from additional care over time. It depends on the condition of your hip, how you respond, and what your physician recommends.
Stem cell therapy for hip osteoarthritis is considered an emerging area of medicine and is not currently FDA-approved specifically for this use.
At Miami Stem Cell, we believe patients deserve a clear understanding of both the science and the regulatory status of the treatments they’re considering, without hype, pressure, or unrealistic promises.
Our role is to help you understand what the research shows, what options may be appropriate for your hip, and what you can realistically expect.
For some patients, regenerative medicine may be worth exploring before moving forward with hip replacement.
In published research and in our clinical experience, some patients have seen meaningful improvements in pain and function without immediately progressing to surgery.
Whether that is realistic for you depends on the condition of your hip, how advanced the joint changes are, your overall health, and your goals.

Early Clinical Outcomes of Intra-Articular Injections of Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate for the Treatment of Early Osteoarthritis of the Hip and Knee: A Cohort Study
Published in PM&R. The study reported improvements in WOMAC scores, which assess pain, stiffness, and physical function, at an average follow-up of approximately 13 months.
The study included 19 patients and 25 treated joints, including 15 hips. Hip and knee outcomes were reported together.
