Advanced Stem Cell Therapy for Orthopedic Injuries, Arthritis, and Degenerative Conditions
At Lendermon Sports Medicine and regenerative orthopedics in Collierville, TN, Dr. Laura Lendermon specializes in orthopedic stem cell treatments, an advanced regenerative medicine treatment designed to repair and restore damaged tissues. For patients struggling with orthopedic injuries, joint arthritis, or other degenerative conditions that cause pain, stem cell therapy offers a non-surgical option that uses the body’s natural healing power to improve function and reduce pain.
What Is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cells are unique cells in the body with the ability to develop into specialized tissue such as cartilage, bone, tendon, or ligament. When concentrated and injected into an injured or arthritic area, these cells may help stimulate repair, reduce inflammation, and promote long-term healing.
At Lendermon Sports Medicine, the process typically includes:
- Collecting stem cells from a patient’s own bone marrow.
- Concentrating the stem cells in a specialized centrifuge and extracting these important healing cells for reinjection.
- Injecting the concentrated cells directly into the injured or degenerated area under precise guidance.
The goal of the procedure is to help your body repair damaged tissue naturally—without surgery.
