As orthopedic medicine continues to evolve, more patients in New York City and Westchester County are seeking non-surgical, regenerative solutions for joint pain, arthritis, and soft tissue injuries. Stem cell therapy has emerged as a leading option for reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and restoring function—without the need for invasive procedures.
At Stem Cell Therapy NYC, led by Dr. Steven Struhl, we offer advanced orthopedic stem cell treatments backed by clinical research and years of successful patient outcomes. Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about this innovative therapy.
What Is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cell therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own healing cells, typically harvested from bone marrow, to repair and reduce inflammation in damaged joints, ligaments, or tendons. These stem cells are injected into the affected area, where they stimulate healing and tissue regeneration.
At Dr. Struhl’s offices in NYC and Westchester, we use state-of-the-art processing techniques to isolate the most potent concentration of stem cells and healing factors—delivering results tailored to your condition.
What Conditions Can It Treat?
Stem cell therapy has shown success in treating:
- Early to advanced arthritis
- Knee and shoulder pain
- Meniscus injuries
- Tendonitis and rotator cuff injuries
- Degenerative joint disease
Patients who aren’t ready for joint replacement or want to delay surgery often find stem cell injections a safe and effective alternative.
How Soon Will I Feel Results?
It’s essential to recognize that stem cell therapy is not a quick fix. Most patients begin noticing results after 3 to 8 weeks. Improvement is typically gradual, with continued gains over a 6-month period as inflammation reduces and tissue regeneration progresses.
This delayed response is due to the natural healing process initiated by the cells, which takes time to impact pain and function.
How Effective Is Stem Cell Therapy?
Numerous studies have shown significant pain reduction in patients treated with stem cell injections—even those with advanced arthritis. In addition to stem cells, the bone marrow concentrate contains:
- Growth hormones
- Anti-inflammatory proteins
- Cytokines and bioactive factors
These compounds work synergistically to reduce inflammation, protect surrounding tissues, and promote healthier joint environments.
In some surgical settings, such as microfracture procedures or tibial osteotomies, stem cells have demonstrated the ability to stimulate cartilage growth. While cartilage regrowth after injection alone remains an area of active study, clinical experience shows real, long-lasting improvements in joint function and pain levels.
Is It Safe?
Because the therapy uses your own cells, stem cell treatment is considered extremely safe with minimal risk of rejection or adverse reaction. Dr. Struhl performs all procedures in a sterile, controlled medical environment, and patients typically resume light activity within days.
