Temporomandibular Joint Pain

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.

During the painless procedure, a small amount of bone marrow is typically taken from the patient’s hip bone using a needle. The bone marrow is then processed to isolate the stem cells, which are then injected into the affected area using imaging guidance to ensure accurate placement.

While it may not provide immediate pain relief, it provides long-term benefits and improves overall function and quality of life. If you are considering this treatment option, it is important to book your FREE consultation with us to determine if it is right for you.

How can regenerative medicine treatments help with TMJ pain?

Regenerative medicine treatments for TMJ pain can help to repair or regenerate damaged or degenerated tissues in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles.

One commonly used regenerative medicine treatment for TMJ pain is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. PRP involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, and injecting the resulting solution directly into the affected joint or muscles. The platelets and growth factors can help to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes and promote tissue regeneration, reducing pain and inflammation.

Another regenerative medicine treatment that can be used for TMJ pain is stem cell therapy. Stem cells can be isolated from the patient’s own bone marrow or fat tissue, processed, and injected into the affected joint or muscles. The stem cells can differentiate into various cell types, such as chondrocytes or muscle cells, and help to repair or regenerate damaged tissues.

Both PRP therapy and stem cell therapy have shown promising results in treating TMJ pain, and may be used alone or in combination with other treatments, such as physical therapy or medication, depending on the severity and underlying cause of the pain. It’s important to consult with us to determine the best course of treatment for your specific case.

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.
