Exosome injections harness the body’s natural regenerative potential to help you recover from orthopedic conditions, such as knee, hip, and shoulder pain. Dr. Jonathan Gelber offers stem cell injections in his commitment to offering holistic, regenerative solutions to promote tissue repair and help you heal naturally from within.
Exosomes are small packages that travel outside and between cells. These extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by cells, including stem cells to talk to each other and help direct their actions. The current understanding is that they carry bioactive molecules, including proteins, microRNAs and lipids, which help to maintain positive cell signaling. As the primary form of communication between cells, exosomes are the ‘key messengers’ in regenerative medicine. Exosomes may offer regenerative power that is more reliable than other forms of regenerative injections.
Exosome injections are used to address conditions like inflammation, osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, and cartilage damage. By promoting natural healing, stem cell injections offer a minimally invasive alternative to traditional orthopedic treatments.
Exosomes are tiny, nano-sized vesicles that act as messengers, facilitating communication between cells by carrying and transferring various molecules like proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. These molecules can reduce inflammation and influence the receiving cell’s behavior, potentially triggering repair, regeneration, or even slowing disease progression.
Your exosome injection process starts with a consultation with Dr. Gelber to discuss your condition and medical history. Once the treatment plan is determined, stem cells are harvested from your own body, often from the bone marrow or adipose tissue. These stem cells are injected into the targeted area, whether it’s a joint, tendon, or damaged tissue. The process is minimally invasive and concludes within an hour, and you can return home the same day.
You might experience minor side effects like pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, but these typically resolve within a few days. Please follow your orthopedic surgeon’s post-treatment instructions, which may include limited physical activity for a short period. Over the following weeks and months, you’ll notice gradual improvements in pain relief and joint function as the injected stem cells continue to work on tissue repair and regeneration. Please attend regular follow-ups with Dr. Gelber to monitor your progress.
Stem cell injections are just one component of your holistic treatment plan. While they offer significant benefits in orthopedic care, they are often complemented by other therapies like physical rehabilitation, lifestyle adjustments, corticosteroids, viscosupplementation, and other treatments. Dr. Gelber will create a comprehensive plan to address your orthopedic condition, ensuring the best possible outcomes and long-term success in managing your health.
