Stem Cell and Exosome Regenerative Therapy
Stem Cell Regenerative Therapy Uses ‘Tissue Building Blocks’ To Treat Your Pain
Are you suffering from chronic pain conditions related to degenerative spinal discs, joints, muscles, tendons, or ligaments? If so, regenerative medicine therapy can help! Regenerative medicine gives patients options to potentially avoid surgery. The goal of regenerative medicine is to heal injured tissue and not just mask the pain. Stem cells are cells that serve as a repair system for the body. They are the primary basic cell template that can change to become cells of different tissues and thereby offers the potential to rebuild damaged tissue, muscles, tendons, or ligaments.
When injected into the area, stem cells can be guided to become highly specific cells that can be used to regenerate and repair diseased or damaged tissues in people. They create and grow only what’s needed in a specific area such as cartilage, ligament, tendon, muscle, or disc. Stem cell therapy is a great alternative to surgery and does not require a hospital or anesthesia. Its non-invasive nature means almost zero recovery time.
Where do stem cells come from?
Our medical practice uses tissue from a Florida-based tissue bank that strives every day to meet and exceed every FDA and AATB requirement in their lab and processes. Our tissue bank acquires tissues from only certified, FDA-approved facilities and every single batch produced goes through a rigorous process to ensure they always deliver the best product possible.
There are different kinds of stem cells but Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have been found to be the most effective for orthopedic treatments. MSCs are the primary basic cell template that can change to become cells of different tissues and thereby offers the strongest potential to rebuild damaged tissue, muscles, tendons, or ligaments. We use MSCs that are isolated from Wharton’s Jelly from donated umbilical cords. MSC treatment gives the body the ability to heal itself by generating new tissues and growth factors that can promote healing and recovering from injury a lot faster.
MSC can be used to treat an array of debilitating conditions:
- Knee joint injury
- Hip and shoulders
- Chronic partial rotator cuff tears
- Persistent partial tendon tears (tennis elbow)
- Plantar fasciitis (bone spurs)
- Quadriceps and Patellar tendon tears
- Muscular tears
- Degenerative arthritis
- Intervertebral disc and spinal Facets joints
- Sacroiliac joint pain
- Greater trochanteric bursitis
Advantages to using MSC:
- Less invasive when compared to bone marrow aspiration
- Less pain for the patient and much shorter procedure time
- Does not use any material derived from ESC
- MSC’s lack MHC-II and therefore hypo-immunogenic
- Fibroblast colony-forming units are significantly higher in USC
- Faster population rate
- Have strong anti-inflammatory effect, reducing the expression of inflammatory cytokines
- High concentration of peptides, hyaluronic acid, and growth factors
- Increases likelihood for better patient outcomes

Dr. Caprio explains how stem cells can eliminate the need for surgery!
How it works
During your initial consultation, Dr. Caprio will assess your medical history, including your degenerative health issues, determine if you qualify for Stem Cell therapy, and decide whether or not Stem Cell therapy would be a beneficial treatment for you.
If Stem Cell Therapy is right for you, Dr. Caprio will perform the non-surgical procedure taking only a few minutes in our office. These treatments are minimally invasive and require little to no recovery time.
Now that you have controlled the pain by bringing youthfulness back into your life, you can have the mobility and quality of life that you deserve!
Regenerative treatments may be an alternative for those who have been recently injured or in chronic pain, as well as those who are looking to avoid surgery, prolong the need for surgery, or who just may not be a candidate for surgery. Some patients look to it as a way to avoid ongoing steroid treatment for pain. There are rarely age limits to these procedures. Dr. Caprio has treated patients from ages 14 – 90 years young!
Stem cell therapy is designed to permanently alleviate the root cause of your pain. As the stem cells are injected into the area, they regenerate new, healthy cells and tissue. These healthy cells may provide you with the strength and stability needed to eliminate your pain entirely. These results may last a lifetime, depending on your injury or condition.
Results start showing 2-6 weeks after the treatment but full results may take up to 3 months.
The process of extracting a patient’s own stem cells can be painful and costly and will at MOST only yield 80,000 stem cells while MSCs have 20 to 30 times more stem cells per cc thereby making it much more effective.
