How Can Stem Cells Help Cure My Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction?

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is a condition where there is abnormal movement or alignment in the sacroiliac joint, which can lead to pain and discomfort in the lower back, buttocks, and legs. The sacroiliac joint is located at the base of the spine where the sacrum bone meets the iliac bones of the pelvis. The joint is surrounded by ligaments and muscles that help to stabilize it and facilitate movement.
 

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

  1. Trauma: A fall or car accident can cause damage to the SI joint, leading to dysfunction and pain.
  2. Pregnancy: The hormonal changes and increased weight of pregnancy can place extra stress on the SI joint, leading to dysfunction and pain.
  3. Anatomic abnormalities: Some people may have a misalignment or abnormality in the SI joint that can lead to dysfunction and pain.
  4. Repetitive motion: Certain activities or occupations that involve repetitive motion or twisting of the lower back can cause irritation and dysfunction in the SI joint.
  5. Arthritis: Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can cause inflammation and dysfunction in the SI joint.
Regenerative Treatments

How does it work?

Stem cell treatment using bone marrow is a minimally invasive procedure that is typically performed on an outpatient basis. The procedure itself can take up to an hour and the patients can go home after the procedure.

After the procedure, patients may experience some soreness or discomfort at the site of the bone marrow extraction, but this typically subsides within a few days. Pain relief may not be immediate, as it can take several weeks for the stem cells to start promoting healing and tissue regeneration.

It is important to follow any post-procedure instructions provided by your healthcare provider, including any physical therapy or rehabilitation exercises, to help optimize the healing process.​

How does regenerative treatments help Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Regenerative medicine treatments, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy, may be effective in treating sacroiliac joint dysfunction by promoting the body’s natural healing processes and repairing damaged tissues in the joint.

Platelet-rich plasma (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 sacroiliac joint, to stimulate healing and tissue repair.

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 regeneration and repair. The stem cells can differentiate into different types of cells, such as cartilage cells or bone cells, depending on the needs of the damaged tissue.

These regenerative medicine treatments are non-surgical, require little to no downtime and  may also be combined with other therapies, such as physical therapy or chiropractic care, to provide comprehensive and effective treatment for sacroiliac joint dysfunction. When you select stem cell therapy as your sacroiliac joint dysfunction treatment, you are allowing your body the chance to heal itself rather than trying to take drastic measures to heal it externally.

It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider who is experienced in regenerative medicine and can determine if these treatments are appropriate for your individual condition and medical history.

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.

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

Healing Solutions

Regenerative Therapies for Joint and Tissue Repair

Regenerative treatments like MSCs, Exosomes, and PRP use the body’s natural healing to repair tissue, reduce inflammation, and improve function, offering a non-invasive alternative to surgery. These therapies can enhance quality of life and delay the need for more invasive procedures.
