The Conditions We Treat with Stem Cell Injections
Stem Cell Injections for Neuropathy
If the bottoms of your feet burn at night, go numb in your shoes, or feel like you are walking on gravel, that is peripheral neuropathy, and we treat it in our clinic every day. Medication quiets the signal for a few hours, but stem cell injections support the repair of the damaged nerves themselves, and we have seen that change people's lives. We would love to help you. Learn more about stem cell injections for neuropathy.
Stem Cell Therapy for Back Pain
If your lower back locks up when you stand, the ache shoots down a leg, or you have been told you have a bulging or degenerated disc, we can almost certainly help. Discs heal slowly on their own, so we deliver repair cells right to the injury and pair them with spinal decompression. Many of our back patients came in expecting a fusion. Learn more about stem cell therapy for back pain.
Stem Cell Therapy for Knees
If your knee grinds on the stairs, swells after a walk, or a surgeon has said bone on bone, this is the joint we treat most, and we have seen wonderful results. A National Institutes of Health review found meaningful improvement a full year after stem cell injections for knee osteoarthritis (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31456015/). We would love to get you walking the stairs again and bending down to pick up grandkids. Learn more about stem cell therapy for knees.
Stem Cell Injections for Shoulders
If you cannot sleep on one side, cannot reach a top shelf, or have a rotator cuff tear, frozen shoulder, or shoulder arthritis, we treat this often and with great success. A stem cell injection targets the torn or worn tissue directly, which is why so many partial tears improve without surgery. We would love to help you get pain-free mobility back. Learn more about stem cell injections for shoulders.
Stem Cell Injections for Arthritis
If more than one joint aches in the morning and you have been told it is just arthritis and just aging, we would love to offer you more than that. Arthritis is wear outpacing repair, and stem cell injections tip the balance back by calming the inflammation and supporting the cartilage you still have. We have helped many patients feel like themselves again. Learn more about stem cell injections for arthritis.
What Stem Cell Therapy Is and How It Works
Stem cells are the cells your body uses to build and repair everything else. The Mayo Clinic describes them as the body’s raw materials, the cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated. Stem cell treatment places a concentrated supply of those repair cells, by precise injection, exactly where the damaged joint, disc, or tissue needs them. Once delivered, the cells calm inflammation and support the repair of cartilage, nerve, ligament, and tendon tissue that has been wearing down faster than your body could rebuild it. Medication masks the signal your body is sending, while stem cell therapy addresses the reason the signal exists.
We spent years watching patients cycle through medications and painkillers that only managed symptoms. That is why we specialize in regenerative medicine.
Who Stem Cell Treatment Helps, and Who It May Not Be Right For
The person we most often treat is between 50 and 80, has hurt for years, and has often already tried medication, cortisone, or physical therapy, and has been told a replacement, a fusion, or a lifetime of pills comes next. They still want to golf, hike, and get on the floor with grandkids. Most of those patients respond incredibly well to regenerative treatment.
Stem cell therapy is not right for everyone. If a joint has fully collapsed, if there is an active infection or certain cancers, or if the exam shows surgery truly is the better path, we will tell you directly and point you to the right provider. The $49 New Patient Special exists so you get that honest answer before you invest in anything.
What Your Experience Will Be Like
We do not guess, and we do not treat anyone until we know exactly what is causing the pain. Here is the process from your first call.
The first phone call and your $49 New Patient Special
Call (801) 571-1338 or schedule online, and our front desk will find a time that works for your calendar. Your first visit includes a one-on-one consultation with a doctor, a full exam, and X-rays.
Your report of findings
We sit down with you and explain what is going on and what treatment options that would be the most effective. If we believe stem cell treatment will work for you, we show you why and lay out a personalized plan with the complete investment before you decide anything. If we are not the right fit, we say so.
Treatment and the weeks that follow
The injection visit usually takes under an hour, and most patients drive themselves home and return to normal light activity the same day. Over the following weeks, the deep ache typically quiets first, then strength and motion improve as the tissue repairs. Your plan may pair injections with decompression or laser therapy to increase results.
Why Patients Choose Freedom Integrated Medicine
Patients searching for stem cell therapy in Utah have options, so here is what makes us different. We integrate regenerative medicine, chiropractic care, spinal and knee decompression, and cold laser therapy under one roof, which means your plan is built around your problem instead of around the one tool a provider happens to own. We diagnose before we treat, every time, and you can meet the doctors before you ever come in. Since 2020, we have earned more than 300 five-star Google reviews and have been featured in the Salt Lake Tribune, Deseret News, and on Telemundo. We are the top-rated clinic in South Jordan and Draper for stem cell treatment, and patients come to us from Daybreak, South Jordan, Sandy, Herriman, West Jordan, and across Salt Lake County.
What Our Patients Say About Stem Cell Treatment
We can describe recovery all day, but our patients say it better.
What Stem Cell Treatment Costs
The investment depends on what we find, because a single worn shoulder needs a different plan than two bone-on-bone knees with neuropathy underneath. That is why everything starts with the $49 New Patient Special, which includes your consultation, full exam, and X-rays, with the complete plan and exact investment presented at your report of findings. Stem cell therapy is a premium investment, but it is incredibly powerful. Our patients tend to answer the question of worth in terms of what they got back: sleeping through the night, walking without pain, and being active again. It’s helpful to weigh the cost against years of pills, repeated cortisone, or surgery, and months of rehab. Life is worth living.
Stem Cell Therapy Questions We Hear Every Week
Can stem cell therapy help my joint pain?
Stem cell therapy helps most chronic joint pain, including knees, shoulders, hips, and spinal joints, when arthritis, cartilage wear, or an old injury is the cause. Pain that has lasted years usually means the tissue never fully healed, and regenerative treatment gives your body the materials to finish the job.
What conditions can stem cell therapy treat?
At Freedom Integrated Medicine we use stem cell therapy to treat peripheral neuropathy, back pain, degenerative disc disease, knee arthritis and injuries, shoulder injuries, arthritis in other joints, and ligament and tendon damage.
Can stem cells help with back pain, spinal issues, and degenerative disc disease?
Yes, stem cell injections help many of our patients with bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, and worn spinal joints reduce pain and avoid spinal surgery. Discs have a poor blood supply and heal slowly on their own, so we deliver repair cells directly to the area, often paired with spinal decompression.
Can stem cells help knee injuries, osteoarthritis, and cartilage damage?
Stem cell injections are one of the most effective non-surgical options available for knee osteoarthritis, meniscus damage, and worn cartilage. Cartilage struggles to rebuild on its own once it wears thin, and patients treated before the joint fully collapses see the strongest results.
Can stem cell therapy help sports injuries, ligaments, and tendons?
Absolutely. Stem cell therapy works well for ligament and tendon injuries, including rotator cuff tears, tennis elbow, and knee ligament sprains. Concentrating repair cells at the injury speeds what the body was already trying to do.
Can stem cell treatment help chronic pain?
Stem cell treatment helps chronic pain by repairing the damaged tissue generating the pain rather than blocking the signal with medication. Treating the structural cause we find on imaging is what finally lets the pain fade.
How much does stem cell treatment cost, and does insurance cover it?
The cost of stem cell treatment depends on your condition and the number of areas treated, so we present exact pricing and payment options in person at your report of findings, before you commit. Stem cell treatment is a significant investment, but it is perhaps the most powerful and effective treatment we use and is the top treatment our patients ask for. Your first step costs $49 and includes the consultation, full exam, and X-rays.
Is stem cell therapy safe, and what are the risks or side effects?
Stem cell injections performed by licensed providers have a strong safety record, and the most common side effects are temporary soreness, stiffness, or mild swelling at the injection site. Serious complications are rare, and we screen your health history at the exam for situations where treatment is not appropriate.
Am I a good candidate, and what age groups benefit most?
You are likely a good candidate if you have chronic joint, back, or nerve pain with remaining healthy tissue to build on, and age alone almost never disqualifies anyone. Most of our regenerative patients are between 50 and 80, and the exam and X-rays confirm candidacy.
How long does stem cell therapy take to work, and what is the recovery timeline?
Most patients notice early improvement within a few weeks of stem cell injections, with results building for three to six months as tissue repairs. The injection itself needs only a day or two of taking it easy, and follow-up visits track the healing that continues underneath.
How long do results last, and can stem cell therapy prevent future joint damage?
For many patients, results from stem cell treatment last years, particularly when injections are paired with the decompression, laser, and rehab work that protects the repaired tissue. Healthier tissue also slows the wear cycle, and we correct your alignment and movement so the cause of the wear does not return.
How many stem cell treatments will I need?
Some patients need a single round of injections, while others do best with a series spaced over weeks alongside supporting therapies. Your exam and X-rays determine the number, laid out in your plan before you begin.
Is stem cell treatment painful?
Most patients describe a stem cell injection as brief pressure and a pinch, similar to a cortisone shot. It is normal to experience some soreness, swelling, and temporary inflammation as your immune system reacts to the healing process. You can typically manage the initial post-procedure discomfort with over-the-counter medications and ice/heat packs.
Do I need time off work, and when can I return to normal activities?
Most patients return to work and light activity the same day or the next day after stem cell injections. A personal activity plan ramps you back into exercise and sport over the following weeks so the healing tissue is protected.
Is stem cell therapy better than surgery or my other options?
For patients whose joints and discs still have healthy tissue to build on, stem cell therapy offers relief without the risks, costs, downtime, and months of rehab that come with surgery. Because we also offer PRP, decompression, and laser therapy, we match the treatment to your exact needs.
What is the success rate, and how will I know it is working?
Freedom Integrated Medicine in South Jordan is the top-rated stem cell clinic serving South Jordan, Draper, and the surrounding Salt Lake County area, with more than 290 five-star Google reviews.
How do stem cells reduce inflammation?
Stem cells release signaling molecules that calm the inflammatory response in damaged tissue while repair gets underway. Resolving the underlying damage is what finally turns the body’s alarm off.
What makes a stem cell clinic reputable, and what should I ask the doctor?
A reputable stem cell clinic like Freedom Integrated Medicine examines and images you before recommending anything, is run by licensed doctors, prices transparently, and can show a long record of verified patient reviews. Ask any provider what is being injected, where it comes from, who performs the injection, and what plan supports the healing afterward.
