Is this therapy FDA approved?

Yes. While the FDA does not “approve” stem cell treatments in the traditional drug sense, autologous use of your own cells is allowed under FDA guidelines. We follow all FDA-compliant safety protocols.

What's the difference between bone marrow and fat-derived stem cells?

Bone marrow cells are ideal for orthopedic and cartilage repair. Fat-derived cells are more abundant but may be less effective in joint-focused conditions. Dr. Nourparvar will recommend the right source for your case.

Is bone marrow aspiration painful?

Discomfort is minimal and well-managed with local anesthesia. Patients typically describe it as pressure–not pain–and return home the same day.

How soon will I see results?

Relief often begins within 4-8 weeks, with full regenerative effects emerging over 3-6 months.

How many treatments are needed?

Most patients benefit from a single procedure. Some complex cases may require additional sessions or supportive biologics like PRP.

Does insurance cover this therapy?

Most insurers don’t yet cover stem cell therapy. However, HSA/FSA accounts may be used, and we provide documentation for out-of-network reimbursement.

Am I a good candidate?

You may qualify if you have chronic joint or tendon pain, cartilage damage, or a slow-healing orthopedic injury–and want to avoid surgery.

What Is Bone Marrow Stem Cell Therapy?

Bone Marrow Stem Cell Therapy involves extracting mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from your pelvic bone (iliac crest), concentrating them using FDA-compliant methods, and injecting them directly into damaged tissue using ultrasound guidance.

These stem cells:

Regulate inflammation naturally
Repair cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and bone
Improve joint function
Promote long-term recovery and mobility

Because this therapy uses your own cells (autologous), it avoids immunological reactions and ethical concerns related to donor tissue.

Conditions Treated with Bone Marrow Stem Cells

Dr. Nourparvar recommends this therapy for patients suffering from:

Moderate to severe osteoarthritis (knee, hip, shoulder, ankle)
Rotator cuff tears, tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy
Meniscal or labral tears
Cartilage degeneration in athletes and aging adults
Non-healing bone fractures or post-surgical joint deterioration

Patients from Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Brentwood, Westwood, and Century City choose our clinic to avoid surgery and embrace a biologic-first approach to healing.
