Stem Cell Therapy
Elbow joint is a hinge joint which is made up of three bones and a network of cartilages and tendons. It facilitates easy movement of the arm and on sustaining an injury or systemic condition, becomes painful and stiff when activities are performed by it. It needs to be medically treated to enable easy flexibility and movement.
One treatment technique is Stem Cell Therapy. It is among the relatively newer modalities which is simple yet effective and is usually performed by the elbow doctor, on patients suffering from elbow conditions that have damaged its tendons.
Prior to the procedure:
After an MRI and evaluation by the elbow doctor the decision of stem cell therapy is taken and the patient is well informed about the technique. Since stem cell therapy is not a surgical procedure it does not require any in depth introspection into the medical history of the patient. The day is decided and the patient is called in for the therapy technique.

During the procedure:
Stem cells are blank cells found in our bodies which take the shape and function of the cell they come in contact with. Thus, under this therapy, healthy blank stem cells are injected next to the damaged tendon which gradually grow and replace the damaged cells. The entire procedure is done with in just a few minutes depending on different patients and their problems.
After the procedure:
After the short procedure the elbow doctor fixes up a follow up visit to ascertain any negative effect of the stem on the body or rejection of the cell by the body. With each stem cell injection, there are little chances that the body will reject it.
Complications after the procedure:
There are almost no complications in stem cell therapy except the risk that the body may reject the blank cell.

Benifits of stem cell therapy:
Stem cell therapy overpasses all negative effects of surgery and exploits the body’s natural repair mechanism. It does not involve any risk of infection or limitation to the mobility of elbow. The stem cell therapy requires minimal post physical therapy. It is the newer modalities which is proving a substitute for invasive surgery and is spreading itself to treating various diseases.
