If you’re suffering from joint pain caused by cartilage damage, stem cell therapy may offer a powerful, non-surgical solution. At the offices of Steven Struhl, MD – Stem Cell Therapy NYC, we provide advanced regenerative treatments in both New York City and Westchester, NY, helping patients reduce pain, restore function, and delay or avoid more invasive procedures like joint replacement.

Cartilage damage is a common issue that affects people of all ages, often due to arthritis, degenerative joint disease, sports injuries, or complications following orthopedic surgery. Because cartilage has a limited ability to heal on its own, due to its lack of blood supply, traditional treatment options have often been limited. But now, stem cell therapy offers new hope by targeting the root of the problem and promoting the body’s natural healing response.

How Stem Cell Cartilage Repair Works

Stem cells are unique in their ability to develop into specialized cells, including those that form cartilage tissue. When injected into a damaged joint, stem cells can help regenerate cartilage, reduce inflammation, and improve overall joint function. At Dr. Struhl’s NYC and Westchester offices, we use autologous stem cells, typically harvested from the patient’s own bone marrow or fat tissue, ensuring safety and compatibility.

This treatment is especially promising for conditions such as:

  • Osteoarthritis and early-stage degenerative joint disease
  • Meniscal tears and cartilage defects from sports or overuse
  • Post-surgical joint damage, where healing has stalled
  • Chondromalacia or cartilage softening in the kneecap

According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, millions of Americans suffer from cartilage-related joint pain, and up to 30 million adults in the U.S. are affected by osteoarthritis. Stem cell therapy offers a regenerative alternative that doesn’t just manage symptoms—it addresses the underlying damage.

A Personalized, Evidence-Based Approach

Dr. Steven Struhl, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with over 25 years of experience, leads each treatment with precision and scientific rigor. Unlike one-size-fits-all solutions, we tailor every stem cell therapy plan to your specific condition, imaging results, and medical history. Whether you’re an athlete recovering from injury or a patient with long-standing arthritis, our goal is to restore joint function, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life, without surgery whenever possible.

Studies have shown that patients receiving stem cell therapy for cartilage repair experience significant pain reduction and improved joint movement within just a few months. Many also report returning to daily activities and sports they once had to give up due to pain.
